Area 61 is a natural 5 acre property with a creek that feeds into the Peace River. We have many different types of wild life that visit including white tail deer, turkeys, alligators, otters, armadillos and all types of birds including owls. We also have access to the Peace River for canoeing and kayaking trips. Along the creek we also have several terraced waterfalls that provide a wonderful wetland area for the wildlife.

Delightful place!
This place is awesome!! As soon as you pull up, you start to see all of the love and thought put into creating this place! Our host made us feel right at home. Plenty of trails and scenic spots to sit and enjoy the moment. The campsites were spaced out for privacy, bathroom was super clean and spacious, and the outdoor shower was pretty private, considering it’s outside. Also, all the campsites had dim green ambient lighting to see your space. Definitely on my list for a weekend getaway!

What a way to bring in the New Year
We (family of 4) welcomed in the new year at Area 61 and I cannot recommend Joseph's property highly enough to any campers looking for an immaculately maintained property to camp. Each tent site is secluded enough that you can barely notice that there are other campers on property; there are great trails for exploring, and plenty of wildlife. The kids loved getting up early to see the deer, and we also saw multiple owls during our stay. Joseph is a great host, and this place will only get better with some of the the projects he has planned. While you feel far more remote that you actually are (15min from town), Joseph has done an amazing job with his property, and there is no doubt that we will be back!

Joseph’s land is a well maintained little slice of paradise. The bathroom was very clean and there was plenty of privacy between the sites. We will definitely be back!

Delightful getaway!
We are already trying find time on our calendar to go back! It couldn’t have been any better, owner a thorough and knowledgeable host. Plenty of space throughout, clean outhouse, every site was clean, clear and ready when we arrived. Other campers were friendly, lots of wildlife, crazy animal sounds at night which our 6yo loved. Easy to get to, a hidden gem!!!!

Camping gem
We has such a great time camping at Area 61! Joseph is a great host and has created a haven of serenity. The short trail around the land is a gem! The kids loved walking the trail, following the little creek, and discovering the wonders of nature. We loved all the cute little bridges and benches Joseph has built and placed around the campsite. We loved the outdoor showers with heated water!

Camping for New Year’s 2025
Camped there for new years 2025. Absolutely loved it. Jo was such a pleasure to be around, great guy with awesome stories. The site itself was beautiful. So green and peaceful. We saw owls, deers, turkeys, cows, and many other wildlife. The neighbor’s dogs and pet goat even came by to say hello. The bathroom was clean, the water nice and warm, lots of areas to hike/walk around. Will be coming back soon.
