It was nice and quiet there! We got a great night's sleep. We don't require any amenities so it was perfect for us!!!

So very peaceful. A few other rowdy campers were in the property but even so it was so beautiful. I wish there were a few established fire rings around the property but otherwise a total enjoyment.

We enjoyed our time spent on Beth's land. Our dogs loved being off leash and being able to run free. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to the excessive heat but we would definitely book this hip camp again.

Beth is a wonderful camp host. The main campsite has ample seating, a great firepit, an apple tree, and a beautiful meadow view. My stay was peaceful and safe. I'll be booking more stays in the future.
Thank you, Beth

We loved the wide open space and the privacy Beth's land has. The clover was in bloom and with other wild flowers each morning was a delight. We appreciated the hand off approach.

Easy to find even though it is far off the beaten path. (Or is it an old well worn path) Great fire pit with lots of seating to watch the meadow and wetlands. Very quiet, but some light pollution from the east. Great for a telescope still. Primitive digs, so pack it in pack it out. Thanks for having me!

I loved tent camping at Beth's! The land was so beautiful, the directions were spot on and she thought of everything! There was a fire ring I was able to use as well as a led to pull wood. It was such perfect solitude and truly serene. 10/10 recommend!

Overall had a good experience! Very quiet & peaceful, wide open land, the woods was difficult to find any trails to set up camp. It was pretty wet as expected but there were areas of dry land! Lots of birds and full of nature! Very nice fire pit & portable fire pits!

Super simple directions. Wide open land. We had to fight of the raindrops, but there were a couple dry”er” spots available. Saw a handful and sandhill cranes, deer and turkeys!

Everything was beautiful, large open fields with paths mowed in roughly so you know just where to go. I was gone most of the day, but I did see a very nice fire circle with seating and a couple of nice places to camp were available. I had just a truck camper with me and my dogs, we were very happy there and I would absolutely come back if I were out that way.

We parked near a big fire pit and because the road our gps sent us on was closed I think we ended up in the wrong part of the property. Nevertheless it was a peaceful night and we would come back again!

I had such a wonderful time camping here. Beth was very quick to respond and helpful when I had a special request due to bike touring. Anyone who likes star gazing - STAY HERE. The view of the sky is incredible.

We loved staying on Beth's land, it was perfect. Quiet, secluded, amazing views.
Beth was always quick to respond to my questions.
Looking forward to camping on Beth's land again.

Only 45 minutes from my house, I have found my new place of solitude! This was my first solo camping trip, and not only did I feel completely safe and welcomed, I felt wild and free!! I literally wish I could have frolicked in the prairie in my birthday suit! Such a beautiful and secluded property. The option to be closed behind a gate provided an extra sense of security. It rained when I visited, and I didn’t get to explore as much as I wanted to. However, this was my first visit, but it won’t be my last. I’m looking forward to exploring next time when it’s a bit more dry. Was very appreciative of the wood available and the picnic tables. Also appreciate the kind host allowing me to extend my departure by 2 hours to enjoy their property a bit longer. Would recommend to anyone who just wants to get away and be free!

Beautiful property - exactly what we were hoping for relaxing seclusion with our dog. Weather turned on us and we forgot our cooler so we packed up early. Hoping to make it back out when the weather is nicer!
