Mawhe Acres Camping Retreat has two primitive camp sites just inside the tree line of an open field, each with a 16' x 16' crushed limestone pad for tents. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and access to a compost toilet (in outhouse). There is no potable water or electric. However, for a nominal fee, we can provide a water hose to the campsite. There's easy access with the ability to drive through the field to the campsite or guests can walk in with their gear from driveway. We're fine with car camping too - we just want to keep things as natural as possible. Mawhe Acres - a 25 acre farm, much of which is raw land and woods in their natural state, undeveloped and not farmed for decades - is an official National Wildlife Federation® (NWF) Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site. NWF recognizes our commitment to sustainably providing the essentials of wildlife habitat - natural sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young. The abundant wildlife around includes deer, squirrels, red foxes, turkeys, chipmunks, groundhogs, raccoons, opossums, woodpeckers, owls, and birds of prey (mostly red-tailed hawks and vultures). We have a small lake with good fishing and acres of woods to explore. There are some footpaths for easier walking. We want to share our beautiful land for our guests to enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest which can help you relax. In fact, it’s possible that time in the great outdoors can boost both your mental and physical health. For example, the science on "forest bathing" (also called "forest therapy") makes a convincing argument that spending time communing with nature can improve stress, anxiety and depression. For those who want a little action, we sit behind a new football facility where you may be able to catch a game or two if you're interested.

Camp #2 - Tents/Car Campers Only

100%
(1)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
This Camp Site is beautifully situated just inside the wood line along a 5-acre open field and near a small lake. The site includes a 20' x 20' crushed limestone pad for your tent, a fire ring, a picnic table, and an outhouse with a compost toilet. Great fishing in the lake! The site is across the field from our home, but you will feel isolated in the peaceful, quiet setting. You're welcome to walk through the woods and hug the trees to be fully enveloped by mother nature. There is no water or electric - so it's primitive camping. (Extended hose for water access available for additional $10.) You can drive through the field to the site or walk in from our driveway. We want you to enjoy your time with family and friends in this serene setting, however, no loud parties. Guests will need to be self contained and 'leave no trace.' We provide trash and recycling bins for use while in camp, however, please take all waste with you when you leave. One bag of trash can be left in garbage cans at end of driveway. There is a second camp site nearby that may be available too for larger groups. You can book both camps together if available.
