Fire On The Mountain, Walk-In Tent
Great host, cool spot
Julie was a great host. She provided fire wood, which was already on site up the hill. Very cool spot on top of a hill. I had the place to myself which was really great. The moon was bright and the sky was clear. Julie greeted me when I arrived which felt very warm. Will camp here again when I’m in the area.

Valley Road, Walk-In Tent
Julie's spot was beautiful and we enjoy watching the eclipse there and exploring the small towns near by.

Shakedown Street, Dispersed Camping
Such a charming property 🐝
Camping on Julie’s bee farm was a dream! You can see all of their hives and watch the bees do their thing. It was such a beautiful space and Julie and her husband were very accommodating. There was a fire ban so they allowed us to use their charcoal grill to cook on. There’s a community fire pit and lots of trails to explore. I will definitely be back.

Shakedown Street, Dispersed Camping
My boyfriend and I stayed at Shakedown Street the weekend of the solar eclipse. This spot was a last-minute find, and I'm so glad that I jumped on the reservation when I did. Julie and Sam were spectacular hosts! They were very accommodating, providing us with a few necessities that we had neglected to remember to pack, as well as information on the area. The property backs up to Brown County State Park, which is super cool, but we found that it does take some navigating and maneuvering through thorn bushes and ravines to get to the hiking trails. It says that the property also has bee hives, which might be a little unnerving for someone who doesn't like bees, but I never found them to be a problem, and they just stayed near their hives. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some hiking or mountain biking!

Gimme Shelter, Onsite Camper
Eclipse and Bees! Best Combo EVER!
We stayed in their “Gimme Shelter” site, which is the on-site RV camper for two nights with our 3 year old during the eclipse and let me tell you, it was SUCH a comfortable stay. We usually go tent camping and it felt like such a luxury to have a bed, electricity, stove, fridge, bathroom, and shower! The site is also nicely spaced apart from the other ones, so you’re not right on top of your neighbors like you would be at some of the state parks we’ve been to (and that’s considering the event that took place, everyone still had a lot of breathing room). The property also has two cute little trails and is right by the state park for the more adventurous folk. I think what made this stay just FABULOUS were the hosts, some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, who were willing to help make your stay comfortable in any way they could. They have bees on their property and that was just so special!!! We look forward to coming back and seeing them again!

Sunshine Daydream, CamperVan, RV
We camped with a pull behind. There was plenty of room to get the camper situated just right in regards to the firepit and wind direction. There is no gravel but the land was very level. The hosts were very welcoming and made sure campers had everything they needed. They made daily checks with campers to see if they needed anything.
