It was a sweet campsite! Heidi drove our stuff to the campsite in a trailer and delivered firewood multiple times throughout the night!
Heidi was wonderful and friendly. The location was fine, however it was leading into 4th of July weekend. We could hear a party going until 2am or later, truck traffic and what we think was another camp site arguing at like 6am. Also broken glass along the pathway and camp site.
Heidi and Stan were very welcoming. They made sure that our campsite was fully stocked with the items we requested, and were helpful in getting our supplies to our camping space. I would definitely stay with them again.
Heidi's place was exactly as described! They communicated well and provided everything we asked for and were very accommodating. Would recommend for others.
The site is very peaceful and pretty. Heidi and her family was awesome, and also helped transport some of our gear to the site using a small tractor.
We will be back!
Heidi went above and beyond to accommodate my large group. She was super patient with us and made us feel at home.
Heidi took us in super last minute - we were really grateful to be able to stay for the night! We pitched our tent on an open lawn behind an unoccupied house on the property. You can see the road from the site (it's not forested). Heidi graciously provided some wood alas it was a little damp + hard to keep going, so if it's rained recently, bring some of your own dry wood too just in case! There is a portapotty for campers' use. No sink, so we brought our own water for hand-washing.
Great site! A bit of a walk from the parking area, but the host was very kind and helped bring camping gear back on their trailer. Site was perfectly large enough for 6 of us to set up 3 tents and be totally comfortable.
