The campsite offers a spacious and scenic environment with plenty of activities such as kayaking and fishing. However, the proximity to train tracks is a common concern among visitors, with frequent and loud train noises disrupting sleep for some campers. Despite this, the hosts are frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, making the stay enjoyable for many. The site is well-maintained, and the presence of friendly animals adds a unique charm to the experience.

Site 4
Came up for the weekend to check out Maggee Marsh, Camp sites are spacious, private and scenic. lots of room for the kids to run around and explore, kept busy fishing in the small pond, saw many different birds. Lots of amenties at the camp office, we got to enjoy the canoes and giant yahtzee. Bryan was friendly, easy to communicate with, and provided great service delivering firewood to our site. Only downside is the close proximity to the train tracks, trains were pretty frequent at all hours on Friday, Saturday there was much less train traffic. Would definetly stay again.

Fun in the Sun
We had a great time and Brian was a great Host. He was very helpful and accommodating. The site was well kept and organized. There is a lot to enjoy and see at this site and we are talking about visiting this place again. We stayed in site #2. They have plenty to see and add to your outdoor needs.

Nice Hipcamp
This is a nice hipcamp that I would recommend. The owners keep an eye out on the campers without intruding.

Highly recommended
Crappy weather off weekend was still fun. Able to get so much wood to burn (probably the favorite part about camping). Beautiful place. His kids were very respectful and all around good vibes. The trains were a bummer at first but when you turn it into a joke you get over it quickly. We are interested in coming back to do the activities.

Spacious private property and the sites are excellent! The host was kind, knowledgeable, timely, and caring. We experienced some bad weather overnight and Bryan came by to check on us in the morning to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying here next time we’re in the area!
