We were able to check in earlier than stated which gave us more time in the afternoon to set up and explore. Arcadio is very accommodating and nice as always. This is my second time camping here and I was very pleased. My partner and I camped there to stargaze and watch the planets align on the 25. This spot was perfect because lots of trees were cleared for a full sky view. I enjoyed my time!

🌳 Forest Nook - Site 1🌳
Great place to camp on a budget
It’s a very private site away from the main house. It’s a dead end so, there’s no traffic unless there is someone in the site next to you. There is 20A electric but no water. All in all, it was well worth the price. The only thing I would suggest is, make sure you walk down before driving in so you know what you’re driving into. We arrived after dark and had a bit of a hard time backing into our site. No fault of the host but when it’s dark and you’re in unfamiliar territory it’s kind of hard to back in a camper.

Natural and relaxing place. For a city person, camping in a farm-like setting is quite unique. My granddaughter loves to watch the animals.
