Great little hidden gem. Not a lot of amenities but the rustic privacy was just what we were looking for. Enjoy!

There were some truly magical moments here—the sunset over the pond was stunning, and the nighttime sounds of nature were beautifully undisturbed. I found two perfect trees for my hammock in the shade, and the outdoor shower was a refreshing touch.
Communication with the host was fantastic—super responsive both before and during my stay, which made things much easier.
I appreciated being able to order firewood ahead of time. Most of the wood by the fire pit was damp, but the dry bundle that was included burned hot enough to get the rest going.
A few things did take away from the natural vibe: the pond was too algae-filled to swim comfortably, and the plastic jugs, random porch clutter, and a rusted table and chair disrupted the wild aesthetic. Highway noise was noticeable at times, and it took a minute to figure out which gate to use.
Still, if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with some real beauty and don’t mind a little rustic imperfection, this spot delivers.

It is very much a party campground, but it has some nice secluded sites that I would love to use again. The staff inside the bar were super friendly and it was very easy to get checked in. Highly recommend!!
