VW Bus & Cabin Waterfront Camping!
Peace and love and camping
What a beautiful place hosted by wonderful people. It was less isolated than we expected. There are many cottages on the property that are pretty close together. It’s more like a communal campground vibe rather than private camping. However, it was still serene, quiet, and lovely. We never wanted for anything as our host was so accommodating and friendly. The bus was so cool! Our dog loved lounging in it.

This was a great trip for a solo camper, Parker was very nice and helpful. The bus was super cool and the AC was definitely a plus.

Maumee River Camping
The views on this property were stunning; the campsite butts up directly to the metro park and one of the walking/running trails. They offer plenty of included water activity options. The hosts are extremely kind, and we’re available during our entire stay. We ended up having to leave a day early due to the rain, and a hole in our tent, but the hosts offered to let us shower and refresh in one of the cabins on site. The site itself isn’t entirely gravel or grass, so make sure to watch the weather closely because you wouldn’t want to set up in spot that would get muddy after a rain.
My favorite part of the trip was setting up our hammocks in some of the trees on site in the evening and just listening to the river and the nature that comes with it.

First time camping experience!!
My cousin and I went camping here for the first time and we had such a great time!! Parker and Cathy were so so nice. Since it was our first time camping, we had a lot of things we had to figure out on our own. Parker helped us set up our first fire and taught us how to keep it going as well! He took a ton of pictures of us to look back on. We will absolutely be back!! And I would highly recommend to anyone to stay here!

River access, canoes, kayaks,trails
Such a amazing time! Everything we wanted and needed! Kathy & Parker are amazing people! Their hospitality was impeccable! They def went out of their way to make sure we was comfortable and had everything we needed. Having access to the river, trails, and their canoes, kayaks was a dream come true & everything we wanted. I slept like a rock on VW bus. Was nice not having to travel with all of our gear. Can't wait to come back!

Peaceful riverfront camping
The camping site was next to a stellar hiking and biking trail. Very peaceful with the river view and birds. The hosts were outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable.

A home away from home!
My friend and I were looking to do a short weekend camping trip locally as we are from the BG/Perrysburg area and just wanted to get away without traveling far and oh my this place truly was a hidden gem. Cathy and Parker are the most amazing hosts, their property truly makes you feel at home and like you aren’t even in Ohio. They were the kindest people— making sure we had enough firewood and supplies, showing us around, helping us launch kayaks, and even taking photographs for us. The bus site was inviting and quaint, and with access to both the Maumee River and Buckeye Trail, it gave us more than enough to see and do. Out on the river this place is truly a slice of paradise that I hope more people come to love just as we did. Next time we are hoping to stay in one of the cabins that they offer. 5/5 stars!

Great spot to rest my head on my road trip. Hosts were super helpful and responsive. My only negative is I wish I had stayed longer to enjoy a kayak. Would recommend!

Great last night of a long trip!
Cathy and her husband were most welcoming. We arrived quite late, en route across the country, and were received with generous hospitality. Cozy quarters, and the river was beautiful. We were there in late May, but the circle of chairs around the well-kept fire pit looked inviting for cooler weather.

Fantastic overnight at Cathy’s cabin in the woods. Simply put, all the comforts of home combined with access to the Maumee River and the Towpath hiking/biking trail just outside the door. Exceptionally welcoming and accommodating hosts in Cathy and Parker. Grateful to have found this little slice of heaven.

Experience to remember
Right away the hospitality was awesome. Parker showed us some of the cabins they also have and helped us load up some firewood for the night. A lot of amenities and awesome experience camping out in the VW. Right on the hiking trails and plenty of metro parks in the area. Will definitely be going back again some time.

Fantastic communication from host! The cabin was small but mighty. Everything you could need right at your fingertips. Snacks, s’more stuff, coffee, drinkable water, firewood, etc. Plus the cutest Cabin EVER! Definitely will be staying again.

Cabin on the River with Kayaks!
They were excellent hosts and the cabin was cozy, even in february. Very welcoming to our dogs, it seems like a lot of rents arent the same. Plenty of trails to explore right outside our door. They were around when we needed them, but gave us privacy for the majority of our stay. Only being an hour from detroit and near stores and restaurants was a plus. Well be back.

Adorable, cozy cabin! On the river!
We had the best time at Cathy and Parker's cabin! They were extremely hospitable and made us feel right at home. The cabin itself is very relaxing and it is decorated so nicely! What an amazing location right on the Maumee river. Even though we are from the area and did not have to travel, we still felt like we were on vacation and able to relax. The cabin included everything we could possibly need, utensils, firewood, and kayaks! We visited when the river was very high, so we will definitely come back and spend more time in the water kayaking and exploring their property.

life along the Maumee River
Cathy went over the top to accommodate our late arrival at their campsite and we really appreciated it greatly! She and her partner Parker have set up a very unique camp situation right along the Maumee River, which has a history connected to the Erie Canal. Peaceful, serene, and easy to get to place to camp.

Perfection on the Maumee River
This place is a hodden gem! The view, the atmosphere, and the hosts, Cathy and Parker, are fantastic! The site is right on the river and very well taken care of. Cathy and Parker are the most lovely couple and made sure that we enjoyed our stay. They even let us use their boat / kayaks to explore the river! We also took advantage of the beautiful walking / biking trail that runs along the property and the river. There is a kayak rental place not even a mile down that trail. Many parks and trails are in the area. We even visited an awesome dog friendly brewery right down the street. We cannot say enough good things about our stay, and we will definitely be returning.

This was a beautiful spot on the river. The hosts were warm and generous. We interacted with Parker who was exceptionally friendly and took great care of us. We had planned on camping. But it rained unexpectedly so they upgraded us to a cozy and charming cabin on site. There is a beautiful tow path (walking/ running trail) adjacent to the property, and you also have access to kayaks. The stretch of the river is beautiful. Great stay! Next time we might try that VW bus... :)
