Campsite 1: The Rabbit Hole w/WiFi

Quaint and peaceful retreat

A very quaint and peaceful area. The host was more than welcoming! The only downside was that the tent camping is on uneven rocky ground, which was a bit uncomfortable. Besides that it was quiet and very enjoyable! Would definitely visit again.

Rustic Cabin 1: Red Eft w/WiFi

Truly Peaceful!

I would highly recommend staying at Camp Earth Connection. If you are looking for a truly peaceful camping experience, you need to make the reservations without hesitation. Eshay and her team were nothing but hospitable. We stayed in The Red EFT and it was just what we needed, a sturdy shelter with a bit of comfort. We enjoyed the ping pong table in the activities pavilion and if we had stayed a bit longer there was plenty of games, art supplies and much more to keep us occupied.. The shower and toilet areas were clean and spacious. Thanks Eshay for a great stay.

Circle of Fire Campsite

Site was beautiful, the amenities were very nice, clean showers and toilets, and everyone was very friendly. Be prepared to lug your things up and down the hill as you cannot drive up to the site. Other than this everything was wonderful!

Rustic Cabin 1: Red Eft w/WiFi

Camp Earth Connection is so beautiful and the cabins are amazing. It is truly the best of both worlds: feeling connected to nature but still having basic amenities like shower and wifi. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Rustic Cabin 3: The Meadow Vole

Great for hiking and birding

The cabin is rustic with electricity and WIFI. The best of both worlds! Bathrooms and showers were clean with hot water. Luxury! Hiking trails are directly accessible from the property. The surrounding forest is home to a wide variety of woodland birds that are often heard but seldom seen. Eshay (susan) was a wonderful host.

Story Time Log Cabin

Had a great stay, weather was not cooperative. Cub cabin was large and bed comfortable, the tin roof is very loud in rain. Bathroom decent and shower has good hot water.
