This place is simply amazing! The whole area is surrounded by fields of wildflowers, and I saw wildlife everywhere! Deer and swans were near the pond in the morning, and at sunset I was serenaded by a chorus of frogs! I could hear pheasants cackling not far away—everything just felt magical. The host were welcoming, and I can tell they take such pride in their land. The grassy areas for camping were freshly mowed, and they allowed me to walk their nature paths. Thank you for such an amazing stay!! I can’t wait to come back next month!
This place is by far the best private campsite we have ever experienced! We had an excellent stay and would absolutely recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a peaceful, serene, well-maintained place to camp. The host was friendly, welcoming, and communicated everything clearly before we arrived. The campsite was exactly as described—clean, private, beautiful, natural, and thoughtfully prepared.
We especially appreciated the beautiful surroundings, the quiet atmosphere, and the little details that made our stay comfortable. We saw the most beautiful sunset over the pond, and a pair of white swans was swimming in the pond in the morning. The cedar pavilion is new and beautiful, and the grounds around the pond are mowed and well cared for. It is obvious that the host takes great pride in providing a wonderful experience for guests.
We would gladly stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this campsite to friends and family. Thank you for sharing such a fantastic place with us!

Beautiful property just too close to the busy road & traffic noise for me and my liking . There were also hunters on this property shooting off very loud guns very close by. Close enough to wake us at crack of daylight But Shannon did communicate with us & let us know they were out there. After driving 5 1/2 hrs there didn't get to enjoy it like we had hoped to do. Booked for 4 days only stayed 2. Just too much noise and distractions for me. Not good for veterans or those that might have PTSD from combat or likes peace and tranquility. Just not what I was hoping for.

Had the best stay here at Walking Eagle Pond. Very peaceful and quiet. The hosts were nice and even let us pick some apples of their apple tree and we made the best homemade apple turnovers!

Shannon has a great little spot on offer. We took our twin toddler two year olds camping for the first time at this location and it was perfect well groomed grass with organic apple trees and a brand new pavilion made our evening very comfortable. There’s also a fire pit and we were able to roast s’mores.
