Back Pond
If you are looking for a place to camp in this area, we highly recommend BackPond! Lorraine was so welcoming and gracious. I made a mistake in my reservation and Lorraine was very understanding and made us feel at home immediately overlooking my mistake in booking. Her property is very well maintained and the campsite it well kept and flat. Perfect for the tents. The dogs were allowed off leash which is always a major plus and our dogs had the best time exploring the area. Her property has trails throughout that are also available for exploring. Having an electric hook up and a flushing toilet was also a big bonus! We definitely recommend Back Pond and hope to visit again one day!

Beautiful location!! Gorgeous, quiet pond view. Lorraine is a kind and accommodating host! Make sure to pay extra for the farm fresh eggs. They’re worth it!!

Lorraine is the epitome of "good people" - she was welcoming, accommodating, and went the extra mile to make our stay wonderful. Her property is nice and secluded, and we enjoyed the rolling hills going to/from the location. We were greeted in the AM with fresh eggs and coffee, and enjoyed some time with the horses. There was a bathroom in the barn, and we felt safe and taken care of. We hit a little bit of a rainy spell, so it was nice to be able to store some of our gear in the barn. I highly recommend this location, and Lorraine is a fantastic host!

Such a nice night by the pond with the frogs and swifts. The host and her partner are lovely folks — thank you so much, Lorraine! That was very special :)

The property was absolutely beautiful and Lorraine went out of her way to make me feel right at home. Lots of thoughtful touches and extras including a grill and a fire pit already prepared for my evening. Fantastic place and even better hosts, would definitely stay again!
