Site 3 - Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

Overall, a great experience. Host was very friendly, greeted us upon arrival. Plenty of firewood for cheap, awesome fire pit/grill, great view of the river, and great privacy away from the other sites. My one recommendation is the grading of the site be improved so there is more flat ground to pitch tents. Most of the flat ground is in the immediate area surrounding the fire pit. Anything outside of a 5 foot radius from the fire pit is at a downhill incline.

Everything I Hoped For!

Graham was an exceptional host, greeting me and assuring me he was a call away if I needed anything. The fire ring was super nice, and firewood provided at site a big plus! Would definitely return!!!

Site 1 - Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

Brought our travel trailer down to site 1 of Grahams property. Easy access on stone road through the corn field. Site was right on the river bend with spacious flat earth to post up on. Highly recommend site 1 as it has the most room, and secluded bend on the river out of site of the other spots. We will be returning in the summer.

Site 1 - Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

This was a magnificent campsite with beautiful views! The host was extremely attentive, friendly, and quick to respond. The campsites had enough distance from each other so you had your own privacy. We will absolutely be booking here in the future!
