Above and beyond our expectations!
Before we get into our glowing review, we would like to address the review that claimed a group of campers antagonized a family in their camper and that Ronda made them feel unwelcome. We were the group camping next to them, and we are absolutely stunned and in disbelief by their review. We were up late talking around the campfire, and were never once approached about being too loud. In fact, they told us and Ronda that they couldn’t hear us. We knocked on their door once in the morning after we said good morning and saw them walking around the property because they were hooked up to the water source. It was 100+ degrees, and we needed to refill our water before heading out for the day. My advice to campers staying here is if anything is making you uncomfortable, to let Ronda know and she will immediately take care of it. She was so kind and wants her guests to enjoy their stay and would never want guests to feel unwelcome.
Our stay was absolutely beyond our expectations, and we can’t say enough about the Butman’s hospitality. Ronda and her family are extremely nice, caring and helpful. They gave us many recommendations of things to do in the area, and also brought us fresh eggs and veggies from their garden, which made for an amazing camping breakfast. There was a fire pit and a grill available at the campsite, and wood was chopped for us to use at night.
We also came with our dog, Buddy. While we were setting up our camp, he got lost, and Ronda’s entire family didn't hesitate to help us look for him. They even watched Buddy when we left to hang around town in the evening.
The next day we visited Ronda’s daughter to check out her farm. We got to feed a tortoise and goats, see the chickens that provided our eggs, and many other animals. They also had 9 puppies they allowed us to play with, which was my favorite part.
Over the course of the entire trip I was thinking “what an outstanding life these people living - so much kindness, such a strong sense of the community and warmth - what a beautiful place and beautiful people.”
We felt like we became a part of that too, even just for a night. We can’t wait to be back!
