Pros:
- Joe and Joe Sr. were so friendly and welcoming. They were the best part of this site.
- They made every effort to accomodate our needs.
- Beautiful land, very quiet.
- Joe Sr. took us on a tour of the property, including his ATV area.
- Lots of hang out spaces under covered areas, so could accomodate very large groups.
Cons:
- The Electrical box malfunctioned and we were not able to hook up our 50 amp. We tried the 20 amp but that ended up failing too. We ended up having to run our generator, but the hosts covered our gas. They felt so badly about this and were trying to fix the unexpected problem.
- The bathrooms were very rustic. The women’s door was locked, and the men’s bathroom had flushing troubles. The inside bathroom was fine, but with 8 in our party, it was inconvenient to only have one bathroom/shower. There were no sewage hookups.
- Spaces need updating
- Price was high for partial hookup and out-dated, poorly functioning spaces

Plenty of space to set up your tent. The next closest person was a couple hundred feet away. Nice hot shower.

A beautiful ranch to enjoy tranquility. So green, a beautiful pond. Laundry on site too was a great thing to have access to on a long trip. Would love to come again if we come through that way again.
