Only went for a night, we wished we stayed longer. It was a great location. Visited during apple season which made the trip so much sweeter. After a summer of travel, this was hands down the best campfire pit we've had access to. Debbie is super friendly. Highly recommend.

The set up was lovely! We checked in at the office to get our welcome packet, drove up to the campsite and unloaded, then set up and enjoyed the peaceful grove! The barn is absolutely lovely, great coffee and great breakfast sandwiches. There was music one night we were there but it wasn’t too loud for those of us not attending. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful time camping here and attending the Bluegrass festival! There were only a few other campers, less than 10 total so we all had plenty of space. They provide bathrooms and drinking water which was also super nice. If you book this camp site through Hipcamp than you don't need to pay for camping/parking through the venue so that made it a convenient option.

This was such an amazing stop on my way up the peninsula and I’ll definitely be back! Very peaceful camping under the alders. I was so excited that the cafe was open before I left for breakfast and really good coffee. I really love what they’re doing with this spot! Just note if you’re camping you’ll need to park your car separately from your site.

It was easy to find and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The shower was great! We enjoyed our time there. There is a little road noise, so you may want earplugs if that bothers you. It is close quarters if there are other campers, but everyone was nice. We were unable to use the fire pit due to the fire ban, but it had nice benches by it and looked inviting.

Lovely spot! Close by state parks, the ferry, trails and the beach. Very private, quiet and lots of fury friends/birds in the area. The porta potty was spotless and has hand washing which was great.

We had a great time at Marvin's River camp. It was exactly what I had hoped it would be. The river is so peaceful. We walked in it, floated it and even tried to catch a fish.
Marvin and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. Especially with backing the trailer in as well as offering up suggestions on how to upgrade our trailer for a better travel experience. We are new to trailer travel so it was nice to get info from an experienced person. My family is looking forward to booking another weekend.
