Second time back, enjoyed it even more. Great little spit to rough it without being in true back country.

Tent camping by the pond.
Fantastic remote site!
We had a great night at Michael’s site. The space was set pretty far off the road and is not accessible by vehicle unless you have a lifted 4x4. Michael greeted us and showed us to the site which is a bit of a walk in so pack light!
I wish we had been able to spend more then one night! We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere! The vernal pond was full of bullfrogs which gave us a wonderful chorus at night 🙂
This really is a treasure of a spot to get away for a bit!

Tent camping by the pond.
For myself it was perfect. Secluded enough that you feel far away from everything, however your close to a lot. Very private and peaceful. The host Michael was very pleasant and answered any questions I had. Will definitely visit again.

Michael was a great host. The site was private and beautiful. I could not ask for a better camping experience.
To get to the site its about a 15 minute hike. Michael was gracious and trailered our gear in. The trail is well maintained and plenty of flat ground to lay a tent. The site is on high ground well above the pond. I did not hear a single vehicle from the road. There were a few ATVs in the area but they stay far from the site and barley can hear them during the short time they past. If you happen to forget something, Walmart and grocery are within a 15 minute drive. There are many trails to hike in the area with beautiful scenery.

Tent camping by the pond.
We absolutely loved our stay here! It has been a long time on the road for us and the three nights we spent at his camp spot were perfect. Michael was so kind and friendly, we just want to say thank you for a fantastic experience!

Very chill campsite with a very short walk from the road. Michael met us at the road and showed us around and then we had the private site to ourselves with a nice fire pit and plenty of tent space. Bring everything in and take it out!

Great, relaxing time in Thompson. Mike, the host was more than attentive and hospitable.

Extremely private and secluded without having to walk too far. So very peaceful, especially at night, listening to the frogs, crickets and owls. Close to town (if you decide you need anything) but traffic noise is minimal. Great primitive camp site. Host Michael is very friendly, and gracious. He gives you all the privacy you need yet still promptly answers any questions you may have. The new fire ring he installed is great, I love cooking on the open fire. A++ Would camp here again. Great host, great location, great site! : )

Tent camping by the pond.
A peaceful campsite with good trees for hanging a hammock. My dog loved exploring the area and I enjoyed listening to the birds and frogs with a campfite going. Michael is a pleasant host as well.

Michael was a superb host. He waited for us at the barn and offered his Jeep and trailer to haul all of our gear out to the site (because I did have a 0 clearance Mazda 6). The site was perfect; remote, great firepit, good breeze. The night was loud in the best way; bullfrogs and critters from the nearby pond.

This is a great site for primitive tent camping. The host was very welcoming and helpful. This is a no frills site, and that was what I wanted. Like back country but near anything you might need in a pinch. Went on a rainy weekend, but if you go in better weather, the 4x4 traffic in the area might be more frequent. There were a couple that came down the road beside the camp. Do not try to drive anything but a 4WD vehicle with good clearance in from the barn. If you need to walk in, the walk is less than a half mile, maybe more like a 1/4. Wear orange in hunting season. Looks like a popular area for it.
