We bought the farmette with much work outside and home interior remodel to complete. We slowly turned the property into our family oasis. We neighbor a pasture with cows. There are free range chickens running around during the day. Geese greet us every evening and morning at the pond...as do the many bullfrogs. Occasionally you'll hear the coyotes, but they keep their distance. The stars shine peacefully and the sunsets are picturesque (most afternoons). The pond is a great place to swim and fish. The hillside is a nice walk for exercise or take the easier route and sit under the great oak tree in the other pasture. Campsites are off the road, behind our main home. You won't find a sign...we keep it simple. We allow pets at the sites for a $5 per pet/per night. If you would like to bring a pet, please add the Pet Fee which is listed on the Extra during the booking process. We have firewood available for sale, $5.55/bundle. This is located in the Extra section during the booking process. Lastly, there is free range chicken eggs available for purchase, $3.50/dozen. This is also located in the Extra section during the booking process.

We truly had a wonderful time on Kevin’s property. It was clean, comfortable and so well maintained. The fresh eggs are a must. The trails up the hill had breathtaking views and even at night we slept without our tent cover to see all the stars. So amazing! Thank you Kevin what a wonderful stay we had.

Site 7: Afternoon Shade
I absolutely loved how close everything (the pond, the bathroom, the site) to each other because it put me more at ease to know where my kids were at. My friend joined us and it was her first time camping and she fell in love with the whole experience! The views and the land were absolutely gorgeous! We had tons of fun and even the day of our check in, we had a beautiful double rainbow welcome us! Thank you for having us Kevin!

Great family camping
Our family camped at the original site. We had so much fun! There is a lot there to fill your day. Beach area with plenty of toys for kids and seating. The paddle boat was a lot of fun. We went around the pond looking for big frogs. The geese and chickens were entertaining to interact with. The hillside has lots of trails to explore. The views from the campsite or the hilltop were great! It was a peaceful and quiet place when we were there. There is also a very accommodating full bathroom with hot water and a large sink. The ability to use electricity at this site was a huge plus. I have been to a few campgrounds in years past. This one will Standout for a long time. We will definitely come back!!
