Creekside Nest

I camped Scott’s land a few nights in July of 2023. I was actually his first camper. As such he did not have what one may consider traditional camp site amenities setup. I was well aware of the property situation prior to my reservation. I’m a seasoned camper, always come prepared and honestly looked forward to situation. Upon arrival Scott gave me a tour of the land. It is a large amount of acreage forest and clearings separated from farmland by a creek. It is easy to feel the isolation of the woods only a few feet from the creek. Ultimately I settled on an area around the bend from the bridge a close walk to the parking area. Despite a couple heavy, summer down pours the campsite survived the trip. And I was rewarded to some beautiful, (mostly)peaceful setting for a few days. I spent the whole trip onsite so I can’t speak to the surrounding areas. Scott was super accommodating and has the tools to help you with your site. For now I can really only recommend this site for experienced campers. I was able to setup my own site. If Scott decides to clear grass and build some fire pits. Than this would for sure be a great spot for many enthusiasts. At the time of this review a wonderful diamond in the rough.
