Peaceful, great location
This is a great location to access the beautiful State Parks in the area. It was so peaceful staying on John’s land. The spot we parked on, along the driveway, was level and we had great views of the sunsets and dark night skies. We would stay here again.

Camp Gilchrist
My pups and I thoroughly enjoyed staying on John's property over the weekend. John was a perfect host; friendly and knowledgeable of the area, kept the line of communication open while we were there yet respected our space and privacy throughout. The site itself is spacious and private, there is only 1 campsite available meaning you will have the entire place to yourself! The property is home to several gopher tortoise so you cannot drive up to it directly, just park along the perimeter and set up in the center. This is a PRIMITIVE campsite - you do NOT have access to water, bathrooms, or electricity. Being an open field, there is NO shade during the day. This allows for phenomenal night sky views, especially with no light pollution! This was literally one of the best stargazing experiences I've had. We cannot wait to be back!

Camping!
I loved tent camping here. John is an amazing host. Everything was well communicated and as expected. I would 100% recommend staying here. The night was beyond beautiful, quiet, relaxing, and just wonderful. The sunrise was also amazing to see!
