Amy and Eric (and all the other guests during our stay at Backwoods Manor) were the embodiment of “come as strangers, leave as friends,” during our stay with them during the Total Solar Eclipse in April 2024.
Backwoods’ Manor is on a well maintained stretch of land, equipped with an extensive outdoor kitchen, covered seating pavilion, dish washing station, lovely camp bathrooms, a central bonfire circle, a honeymoon cabin, an earthen sauna, two ponds, an orchard, a private backwoods trail, so much scenery, and plenty of space for several groups to sprawl out camp and enjoy their time there. Both the facilities and the property were clean and posh, yet unpretentious. The setup of the space is thoughtfully designed so that it’s easy to join group gatherings to socialize with the hosts and other guests but it’s not necessary or required if one wants to keep to themselves. (Though it’s worth joining at least once to listen to some of the hosts’ enthralling stories.)
The hosts are active and engaging: they want to be there at their little slice of heaven just as much as you do! They enforce enough rules to keep everyone safe and happy while also being open-minded and supportive of safe/sane merriment from their guests. They had tons of great suggestions on stuff to do in the area.
While Amy and Eric will say that Backwoods Manor is still a work in progress, I think it’s just perfect as it is. I am so looking forward to booking another stay at this most special place.

Backwoods Manor
Backwoods manor is really secluded and so so beautiful. Lot’s of different spaces to spread out and have your own little campsite. Amy and Eric were amazing hosts who were sweet and generous and respected our privacy and were so accommodating with our reactive dog (his first time camping). Can’t recommend enough!

This place was AMAZING!!!! Not only was it a magical location, with a beautiful camping experience, but the hosts made the vibe so warm and welcoming we ended up spending time hanging out with so many of the other campers and left feeling like friends with a number of the other campers and the hosts. Amy and her husband were so cool, they were kind and helpful, they had great energy which made me feel really safe and comfortable being there by myself with my young son. Also, the way they have it set up is unique, you can have privacy if you want or you can choose to be more social of you prefer. The big campfire was cool too because it was a hangout which prompted meeting the other guests which we really liked. We came for the eclipse and ended up getting along so well with everyone we had an impromptu eclipse party together, it was very special, and I hope to come back and camp here again! The camp was beautiful, great amenities! So grateful for the hosts, who had a beautiful vision for this camp and obviously worked very hard to bring it to life. I’d give 10 out of 10 stars if I could… 🙏🏻

Incredible property. Amy and Eric were so kind and welcoming. The cooking pavilions are filled with everything you need, the showers are the nicest I’ve ever seen at a campsite. I was skeptical on the community fire but I really enjoyed the conversations around it.
This isn’t a typical “camping” experience but it’s certainly one to remember!

This place is a hidden gem and truly amazing. We had the best time and everything was clean, organized, and so beautiful. Amy is the best communicator - and incredibly flexible and accommodating. Our group loved the stage and lights! The bathhouse is a unique and relaxing experience not to miss. Can’t recommend Backwoods Manor more highly.

Camping at backwoods manor was awesome! There were plenty of sites to pick from depending on what your looking for. We camped beneath the orchard and it felt like no one was around. The amenities are also a huge plus, the bathroom and showers were great after a day out. Would definitely stay here again.

Backwoods was great! We had different options for setting up our tent, open space for stargazing or in a beautiful apple orchard. The bathroom is awesome! With flushing toilets and hot showers, bring own towel and toiletries! There is a pavilion that has all the things you need to cook and hang out, plus a nice common fire pit where we met other cool campers. We could bring our dog which is always nice. We had all sorts of plans to go around the surrounding area, but the space is really lovely so we just relaxed and soaked in the fall scenery. This space is better than most state parks, I would highly recommend it, the hosts were around to answer questions and chat with, but totally left us to ourselves.

The Backwoods Manor was a great overnight stay! Amy was very accommodating and her property had nearly everything you need for an outdoor getaway. The property is very well maintained and the newly introduced bathhouse was very welcomed. I would absolutely recommend staying here and hope to make it back one day!
