I had a wonderful stay at Dennis’s pond-side campsite! The location is peaceful - perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. I caught a few fish right from the shore and spent time just enjoying the wildlife and beautiful sunsets. Dennis is a great host—friendly, welcoming, and helpful without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a bit of fishing, fresh air, and natural beauty, this spot is a gem. Highly recommend!

Pond Side
This site offers 1 Walk-in Camp Site and 1 Drive-In Site by the pond, each with a fire ring. RV camping is currently in a trial phase; This area provides primitive wooded camping behind and around the pond. Dennis is a great host for this family owned working farm, gracious enough to share a quite place away from the 'big campgrounds'

It was peaceful and clean. Rustic. I felt safe there. It's out in the country, so there are critters out there. Unlike some other warn out bald spots with rock, this camp site has beautiful lush grass. A hidden and romantic gem. I'm almost afraid to share this secluded spot. I suggest read up on other nice attractions within the same county to make it a 2-3 day weekend of it. The host is "hip", no pun intended Hipcamp.

My sons and I enjoyed our stay on the pond. Very well maintained grounds. The shelter gave us additional shade and protection from rain. There is a two seater Jon boat that allowed us to go around the pond and throw frogs for bass. Dennis was a great host and enjoyed the chats with him. We will be back and excited about his future add ons!

Beautiful spot right next to the pond. We had to leave early due to unforeseen circumstances and Dennis still refunded us for the day we missed. The boat and pond and fishing were great, would definitely recommend.

We recently camped at a wonderful site owned by Denis. The site features a small lake where we enjoyed boating and fishing. The well-maintained area includes a table, a convenient fire pit with a metal ring for safety, and plenty of space for our group of ten with five tents. Denis also provided us with clean water for our summer shower, which was very convenient. The natural surroundings are beautiful, and we had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!

We loved tent camping on Dennis’s land! He was gracious enough to upgrade us to pond side when we got there. His land is gorgeous! The water was perfect for paddle boarding and our pups loved it! Would absolutely recommend to anyone camping with pups!

Not sure there is any other place on earth where you can most easily touch the stars at night. Amazing. Quiet, remote, peaceful, lots of birds, lots of open space. I felt safe. Mother Nature blessed me with rain on me in the morning, and I got stuck in the mud, but eventually go out when my old four wheel drive shifter finally worked. Aside from that, great experience, great and friendly host. But I think they also offer a site there with flat and firmer ground, if the forecast should call for rain. A gem among gems.

Awesome and secluded. If you want a good quiet spot then this is your place.
Kinda out-of-way but worth it.
Dennis, the host, was great and very responsive to requests as needed.

Dennis is a great host and this is a beautiful spot. My 10 y.o. son and I tent camped. Dennis went and pulled his picnic table from another spot and brought it over for us right away and brought some firewood, immediately. We had a super time floating around the pond in a solid flatbottom boat with plenty of good fishing, as well. It's a peaceful spot. Thanks Dennis!

I loved my night camping on Dennis's land. When I arrived, he led me back to the campsite which was located next to the pond. It was completely private and surrounded by fields. He told me a bit of the interesting history of the land as well. Once the sun went down I was surrounded by lightening bugs and fell asleep to the sounds of all the little creatures living on the pond. I highly recommend this camp spot if you are truly looking to relax in solitude and enjoy nature.

If you are given the option to stay at the pond go for it! I am traveling in a self contained converted van. The sounds of the birds, water bugs, frogs created a beautiful cacophony. Dennis had firewood so a fire at dusk till darkened night lent another layer to my experience. No one else around just lotsa nature on a pond rimmed with trees and tall grasses in the middle of acres planted in soybean and corn. Dennis was very accommodating. Loved my overnight experience at Frakers Grove On the pond.
