Rustic Tent camping

I spent the night here on my way from Chicago to Omaha. Darlene was super welcoming. When I told her I'd be sleeping in a hammock, she showed me some sites she thought I'd like better than the one I had signed up for. She was right! I had a great spot overlooking the pond. It was peaceful and secluded, but close enough to other people that I didn't feel scared of axe murderers or whatever. (Single woman camping alone, sometimes these thoughts come up.) All of the tent sites are pretty nice. 1-5 are very shady, scattered in the tall trees near a playground, and 6-9 are on the hill over the pond with more sun. I was at site 7.

This was a great campsite for my overnight stay. Darlene greeted me when I arrived and showed me to a really nice spot. She recommended I eat at Ruby's Pub and Grill which did not disappoint. While you're in the little town of Stuart, don't miss the opportunity to see a bank that Bonnie and Clyde robbed in 1934!

I had an amazing stay here. I arrived late and Darlene still showed me to my campsite and made sure I felt right at home. The property is gorgeous and serene, it was exactly what I was looking for. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area again!

Darlene was awesome, I got in late and she let me pick a site and brought me firewood. Heard lots of wildlife throughout the night which was pretty cool, it was a nice backdrop. Would definitely stay again.

I enjoyed at excellent night at Darlene's place. The host was extremely accommodating and let me have my pick of spots, due to an incoming thunderstorm. I was treated to a chorus of frog calls and field of fireflies, when the thunder let up. This spot is very convenient if you are traveling cross country along I-80, and need a safe and pretty place to pitch camp.

Darlene met me at the entrance to her beautiful property and showed me to my site. She welcomed me to hike and explore and was very friendly and helpful. I took a nice hike on the hilly meandering trails. I saw some bunnies, a red squirrel(?) and lots of pretty songbirds. On my way out the next morning, I saw four deer on the dirt\gravel road. The road is in great shape. My little Hyundai Veloster handled it all just fine. So don't let that deter you. Best sleep I had in 3 nights. Absolute quiet aside from wind and birds.

Beautiful property. Great owners. No complaints

Darlene was wonderful and efficient.. Recommend.

Really nice spot. Easy to get to but quiet with a lot of amenities. I was just stopping overnight on a road trip but took a couple nice walks and my pup enjoyed the little pond. Hope to stay again some time!
