The campsite was beautiful and very easy to access. The pond is also great, and we had the best time going swimming. You can definitely hear the trains from the woods sites, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to rent. Would definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse

Went here with girlfriend to celebrate an anniversary, cute and comfy cabin space to watch movies, eat on windowed in patio, board games and any fun date night activities. Great downtown area with plenty activities like putt putt and bowling and great eats. Very nice public beach downtown as well as private beach access. If your debating choosing this place take our word and do it!

Nice urban oasis! Pictures were accurate and the bathroom amenities were very pleasant. The campervan fit nicely in the designated parking space. We would stay again when in the area.

This is an awesome spot. Each tent site is tucked in its own corner of the woods and is private and cozy. Bathroom was clean and stocked. Lots of good places nearby for food too. Michael was very helpful and a wonderful host.

Weekend Trip to Mulligan's Valley in the Woods

We were so happy to be accepted on such a short same day notice! MICHAEL was awesome, great communication and care! We loved our stay under the stars, listening to all the birds and the frog concert was awesome. We had a great fire with all the wood that was in the forest. We enjoyed our stay and loved the quiet and serenity of the property. The outhouse was just extra cute, so cozy and thoughtful! Thank you for having us even with an oversized Sprinter !!!

1 night at Olds Road Getaway

Loved camping on Kym and Shawns land, Such a beautiful, quiet, private relaxing place to camp. Lovely to be surrounded by all the trees and nature. Directions were clear and the track was an easy drive, Looking forward to returning again soon.

2 nights at Thousand S.’s Land

My group and I really enjoyed this campsite! We loved that is was very hippie vibes and it’s super cool that they hold ceremonies here. There’s lots of land to explore and we had the place mostly to ourselves. And there’s a cute little lake! The only reason we wouldn’t come back is because there is a train right next to the campsite that went through multiple times during the night. Which of course was very loud. Everything else was awesome though!

Weekend Trip to Olds Road Getaway

Quiet, safe, remote and peaceful campsite. Hosts were great about answering questions related to the site. Will definitely camp at this site again.

Weekend Trip to Mulligan's Valley in the Woods

Tent camping here was like a dream. Felt like up north but close by. Beautiful land, secluded, quiet and peaceful. Had a great time relaxing around the fire, walking the trails, just enjoying nature. The dogs loved it too. Outhouse was very cute and clean. Definitely hope to come back!

Weekend Trip to Thousand S.’s Land

We loved our stay. We were searching for seclusion and found it. The location was also close to everything including Walmart so when we needed something it was only a 6 minute drive away. Looking forward to staying there again.

1 night at Thousand S.’s Land

Can’t get enough of this place, learned more about the history of the land, met some awesome, interesting people and I finished (started more lol ) writings. I would recommend this for band members/managers and vendors instead of spending money on hotel rooms, for festivals or events.

2 nights at Mulligan's Valley in the Woods

Great campsite with friendly staff, we were lucky to be the only ones booked so we had the whole place to ourselves . Clean outhouse, and beautiful trees. Highly recommend for a quick getaway! Would be nice to ride your bikes along the path Turkeys, blue jays, chipmunks

Welcome to Thousand Suns – an 84-acre sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature, lovingly cultivated to support healing, reflection, and connection. This isn’t your typical campground. Here, the land is vibrantly alive and holds space for both traditional and non-traditional ceremonies, as well as moments of quiet solitude or joyful gathering. Wander scenic forest trails, swim in spring-fed waters, or sit beside the flowing river — all part of a landscape that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or reconnect, Thousand Suns offers a grounded, heart-centered experience. Throughout the month, we host community events and offer private sessions in yoga, bodywork, breathwork, and other holistic practices designed to nourish the body and spirit. Fresh eggs are available from our chickens and turkeys, and you’ll likely spot our friendly goats during your stay. Guests are welcome to use the community kitchen — a shared space where you can store your food and prepare meals with ease. Thousand Suns is the perfect retreat for solo travelers, families, and spiritual seekers alike. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or journeying inward, our land provides a supportive and sacred backdrop. Please note: a train passes by the front of the property several times a day. While some find it grounding and nostalgic, others may wish to bring earplugs if they’re sensitive to sound. Bring your fishing pole, your swim trunks, and an open heart. We can’t wait to welcome you.
