Had a wonderful time. Lots of space and our dog loved having a buddy to run around with. The family was really nice and meeting them was a treat. We hope to be back.

This place is so much fun and very secluded. The water is clear and my kids had fun swinging on the rope and swimming, we also did some light fishing. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. They have a friendly dog that visits, so keep your food up. Only thing I would complain about is my own phone, I had no signal (att).
We will be back!

We enjoyed our quick getaway at this campsite. For about $50 per night, you’ll get a semi-private site, direct parking & creek access, fire pits & spend some time with their dog. I wish both sites had their own access to the creek, however, for more privacy. (My bf & I expected to relax alone, but the pit toilet is between the two sites & there was only access to the creek from our side, so the other family staying walked through our site often.) The creek and animals were gorgeous & the trains didnt bother us at all, though they came through frequently. The owner came down to check on us when we arrived & when we were set to leave, but they were flexible on check in/out times. Would come back for sure!

We loved the site. I got to go swimming in the creek and we had a wonderful fire. Unfortunately our tent stopped being waterproof during a storm so we had to leave early but we'll be back!

I just want to say if you've been thinking about staying here... Do it! This place is beautiful, with plenty to do! My son had so much fun playing with willy, and he made him feel super safe while missing his big puppies. Wonderful hosts!

What an incredible experience. Thank you Steve and Dawn for sharing you little piece of heaven with us! We had the entire camp site area to ourselves. Tenting right on the river was so peaceful. Listening to the sounds of the rapids roll over the rocks while listening to birds singing was such a beautiful sound. There is a train that rolls through so if you are not used to that maybe bring some ear plugs lol! We come from a train town so that wasn't a bother to us at all. Dawn amd Steve have a dog Willie whom came to visit us a few times but was such a sweet boy. We have a medium size dog who Willie enjoyed playing with. Did a small amount of fishing, walking and a whole lot of relaxing! Much appreciated! Definitely a spot to visit. I believe we will be back!!

Just the perfect place for primitive camping! Listening to the sound of the creek flowing at night is so relaxing, although train passes every hour or two didn’t bother us much. The owners were very friendly and attentive to their guests. We would definitely go back to foreaker and highly recommend to outdoor and camping enthusiasts.

Beautiful campsite overlooking a creek appointed with an outhouse and lots of seclusion. Multiple tents could easily fit in the open areas. The cooking area had plenty of seating and tables for cooking. Very secluded. Just know that the train runs almost hourly and is no more than 200 yards away and usually blares its horn. Very nice and gracious hosts.

Had an amazing experience at Foreaker farms! The hosts were super kind and hospitable. They offered many things should we need them, but we didn't. The scenery could not have been better. The camping area was pretty large with a few good places to pitch a tent. The rushing creek provided 24/7 ambient background noise. They have a dog that wanders the property and he comes to visit you at your campsite periodically. A little tense at times with our dogs there so if you have dogs that aren't super social it might not be a good idea. It's Willie's land so gotta respect it. The property is on a back road, very secluded. There was virtually no vehicle noise. Only thing being a utility vehicle nearby. The campsite offered complete privacy. The creek was loaded with many types of fish, we caught trout, bluegill and had bites from bass. The only potential downside is the proximity of the train tracks in the area. The trains are sporadic, more frquesnt certain days/times than others. Didn't bother us in the least. There was firewood provided at the site, unsure if there will be a steady supply in the future. Would highly recommend this place to others and we hope to be back in the fall!
