We absolutely loved camping at Wild Toad Lake. The property had all the amenities we could want, and was clean & well-maintained. The kids loved swimming in the lake and going down the slide, and the covered pavilions offered comfortable shade and rain shelter — we already can’t wait to go back!

We absolutely love Wild Toad Lake! This was our second stay at the lake, and we plan to keep returning. Our dog loves getting in the water as much as we do on a hot summer day. The sit-on-top kayaks and paddle board were so much fun for the adults and the kids—so appreciative that Patty and Steve have PFDs/floaties for all ages! We love being able to see the stars at night while listening to the toad’s and frogs’ conversations. The pit toilet is kept so clean, and the pavilion with fridge and stove and running cold and hot well water is such a convenience for us who are used to backpacking. This time, the well pump was disabled by a nearby evening lightning strike that affected all the wells in the area, but we were able to purchase a few gallons at the convenience store listed in the WTL hosts’ binder to finish making dinner and texted Patty and Steve who brought us several more gallons in the morning and immediately contacted the well company who came out the same day to replace the pump. Things happen, and it’s how we respond that matters: Patty and Steve swung into action wonderfully. Thanks you two for another great retreat from the grind!

Absolutely perfect camping experience! Everything was so convenient and so beautiful! I cannot hype this place up enough, it was paradise. We brought two young kids (1 and 4) and a dog and it was such a peaceful and relaxing time, if I could afford to go back monthly I would. 10/10 ideal family camping experience.

Absolutely fantastic is the best way to describe Patricia and Steve's site! Not only is it the most well thought out and stocked facility we have ever visited, the beauty of the location is unparalleled. To top it off, the host's are the friendliest people you will ever encounter. You can't go wrong with booking Wild Toad Lake and we hope to return in the future!

Our annual trip to Wild Toad Lake was once again a success.
Kids and adults alike spent most of the day splashing around in the water - it’s paradise!

Our second trip to Wild Toad Lake was absolutely perfect. My only issue is that I did not book more than 2 nights. We are hoping to come back next year for longer. This place is paradise and ran by some very kind and thoughtful folks. I cannot wait to go back!

We stayed at Beaverdam falls sweet spring and we love it!.. the fall is really pretty, and at night it’s quiet and there’s so many fireflies .. it’s magical
Johnny(not sure it this is his correct name spelling) was very helpful and very polite. Leah was also just a phone call away and get whatever we need. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.. this is the place to wind down…

1 night at Spring Lake Farm Guides Quarters
The loft was better than described and pictured. R.Lee had the heat turned on when I arrived as it was to be a cooler night and the place was clean, neat and warm. The bathroom house is spectacular! Better than some hotels and that too was warm. Due to rain I opted not to explore the property extensively, though I was welcomed to do so. The property has a lake, is peaceful and though off the beaten track, is close to restaurants and breakfast shops. Enjoyed my stay.

I spent several nights camping at the Sweet Springs site with my toddler and dog, and it was nothing short of magical. The tent was absolutely pristine—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up—making it feel like a luxury experience in the heart of nature. The campsite came equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals with ease, and the on-site trailer was a total lifesaver for backup essentials like ice and firewood. The land itself is breathtaking. We were surrounded by the raw beauty of waterfalls, open fields, and lush forest. From our site, the views were stunning—especially in the afternoon when the sunlight poured in, making everything feel even more peaceful and vibrant. It’s rare to find a place that feels this untouched yet so well cared for. Beau, our host, was incredible—warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about his beautiful land and surrounding area. He checked in just the right amount, making sure we had enough propane for the chilly nights, while still respecting our space and privacy. Leah and the rest of the support team were equally kind and welcoming.
The trails on the property were well maintained and offered a perfect balance of adventure and serenity. We loved exploring and never ran out of places to wander. This was, hands down, the best vacation we’ve had. Beaverdam Falls offers the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back—and soon.

Literally my favorite place to go camping. Not only is it a beautiful location, it has amazing amenities that most other places don’t have.

Beaverdam falls was the best for a spring weekend getaway! Beautiful property, the sites are spread out enough for privacy, and Beau has the best set up for all the little things you could need. We stayed in Sweet Springs canvas tent and it was wonderful. The tent comes with cooking supplies, a grill, a heater, and some comfy chairs on the deck. Our dogs had the best time there too swimming by the waterfall. We’d love to come back!

I loved staying here! Quiet and peaceful. A short drive to Natural Bridge and so much more! I would stay again. I enjoyed the primitive cabin and disconnecting.

Actually we were moved to the Lakeside Campsite based on our needs and Laura's recommendation. Thank you. Laura and Rick were fantastic hosts, they don't come any better. From the time we arrived, to the time we left, we were made to feel at home. The campsite was clean and very scenic. The animals were amazing, each with their own personality. Laura and Rick do amazing things for the animals in their care, as well as the interactive experiences with schools, special needs children, nursing homes, and churches. If you have the time, a Llama walk through their trails will restore your soul. It truly felt like staying in Narnia. Greatly recommend staying at Infinity Acres, we will be back soon.
