Russell's land offers a well-maintained and peaceful camping experience, with many guests appreciating the cleanliness and spaciousness of the sites. The host, Russell, receives high praise for his hospitality, being consistently mentioned as accommodating, helpful, and friendly. Campers enjoy added conveniences like firewood, eggs, and the unique outdoor shower, which enhances their stay. There are minor mentions of the site not meeting expectations for a farm setting, and occasional noise from the road, but these don't overshadow the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The Grassy Knoll @ R&L Farm

I was looking for a quiet place for a quick overnight stay and this hits the mark. I had the site on the uphill side of the driveway. You may need a couple of inches of wheel levellers to get it straight. Russell did a great job keeping in touch and answering questions.

The Grassy Knoll @ R&L Farm

needs some work regarding the surroundings/location of site. Not a "farm" as expected. Host was accommodating with site choice and provide plenty of seasoned firewood. good overnight stop while traveling.

The Grassy Knoll @ R&L Farm

Tent camping went great! Russell got back to us fast and had extra wood sent out to the campsite. Grounds were great and plenty of space for our group.
