We purchased this slice of paradise in 2003 as a place to relax, recharge, and someday build our dream home. It started as nothing more than a gravel road leading to a small clearing with an old bus and a couple decks. Our children have grown up out here learning a deep respect for nature and the real (non digital) world. Now empty nesters, we live on site. Part of our retirement planning is to spend next several years developing the lower portion of the property (approx. 15 acres) into a campground and retreat for our guests, as well as our own family, friends, and grandchildren. The campground area (currently) consists of a handful of primitive campsites, and a group area. We are working steadily on improvements, including adding more sites, improving the roadways, and upgrading the common areas. In all we will likely have 12-15 total designated camping areas (including a group area or two, as well as a couple hike to secluded locations). There is also a lot of additional information listed on the individual campsite descriptions.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
A large fallen Cedar lays in the back of this unique site, telling the story of the 1950’s logging era. The tree fall creates a magical tucked away area perfect for a tent. Next to extra guest parking the Cedar is right off the main road nestled near the old logging bridge (please stay off the bridge itself). With two leveled areas for tents surrounded by trees, you can listen to the creek burble under the bridge and experience the tranquility.

Around the first bend as you enter the camping area. Close to the entrance to the camping area, this site provides a beautiful, shaded area with a private picnic table and fire pit. Want to head to the easy access area to cool off in the creek? The common area is a short hike (~800') down the gravel road or (better yet) a scenic walk along the wooded trail.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 20 ft
This is the original camping spot my family used through the 2000's and 2010's. We have had very large family campouts here with tents and campers everywhere. This is the area still used by my family to this day, but when not in use by my own family, we have decided to offer it to Hipcampers as a group site. We have big plans for it in the long run, but for now it includes the features listed below. Current Features: • Large Group Area (room for several tents, and/or small RV's). • Up to 20 Guests (12 Included in base rate) with up to 8 Vehicles. • 24 X 24 Covered area with under cover firepit. • Well water in site. • Under Cover Outdoor Kitchen (counter and storage shelving, and sink) • Off Grid Power: Solar panel with small battery array (DC Power) to run basic lighting, well pump, charge phones, misc. electronic devises, etc.. • 4 Picnic Tables and 2 Firepits.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 20 ft
Set back a little further from the road than the others, the sounds of the creek can be clearly heard from camp. This Deluxe site offers a larger camp area, more guests, and a 3rd car in the site. The site is also eligible for the Mini Yurt (Bell Tent) addon option for those interested in a little interested in adding a little "glamp" to their stay. Note: Though this site is quite close to the creek and offers great ambiance as a result, there is no easy direct access to the creek at this location. The best creek access to a beachy area is a couple hundred feet away at the center clearing (see map for details).

The deluxe site is also eligible for the Mini Yurt (Bell Tent) addon option for those interested in a little interested in adding a little "glamp" to their stay. This site is a little closer to the creek access (near the group area), and is a great addon site for groups too large to fit into the Group campsite alone.

The Elderberry is an excellent choice for a couple or small group. Though it is one of our smallest sites, it is still quite spacious compared to public campgrounds, and is well situated as the closest standard site to the main creek access point.

This site is the closest to the main creek access area, and off to the side on a small secluded area across the little creek. There is a view of the main creek right from the campsite. This is an oversized, deluxe site. We may (in the future) add an RV and/or small yurt to this location to further enhance it, but for now it is being offered as a Premium campsite. For more details, pictures, descriptions and a comparison guide please visit www.zen-acres.com NoteL: This site is still in development. We will definitely have it completed before July 1st. We may have it ready as early as May 1st. We are taking advance bookings now for anytime after 7/1/26. However, if we complete it early, we will lift the block for immediate booking.

Nice quiet camping spot. Beautiful creek and surroundings, camp 1 was right at the entrance but there is very little traffic and you can’t hear the cars passing through. Restrooms are very clean and close by. All around nice experience. We had a dog and he had enough space to run around and enjoy the outdoors.

It was our 2nd time staying at Zen Acres and it was even more incredible. The land is stunning and so well maintained. The bathrooms are pristine. Mike has been beyond accommodating. He stopped to check on us to ask if we needed wood or ice and I mentioned that I had forgotten marshmallows & my 5 year old was disappointed. His wife was at the store and he hand delivered them just an hour later. Truly amazing hospitality. The creek is fun and shallow enough for young kids to wade in and to set up some inner tubes to float in. He’s just installing a playground which was such a bonus for the kiddo. My doggo was so happy to run wild and free around camp. We will be back again and again.

We stayed at campsite #2 and really loved it. This is a special and really beautiful place just an hour outside of the city - we are so happy to have found it. It's quiet, peaceful, and very family friendly (come here for the quiet, not the parties) Our campsite was huge, beautiful, and private. It's near the porta potty, which was super clean and even had soap & water. It's a short little stroll down to the beautiful creek, that was amazing on a hot weekend! The picnic tables there are great, and everyone there was friendly but respectful of privacy. Great host, really good vibes all around, we'll be back often:)

This is one of the best camping spots we have ever stayed in! The owners/host is very welcoming. The campsites are clean! The port potty were amazing no bad smells well kept. They deliver firewood to your site and prices were good, wood quality is great. 😊 location is great (for us anyway) campsites are good sizes we have a 20’ x 18’ and it fit in site 3, we could have added 1 to 2 more 6 person tents if needed depending on how you parked. It is quite and very peaceful (for our stay at least) I would highly recommend checking out this place!!!

The most memorable and amazing place we have ever camped. This is our first official time staying at a Hipcamp site and we are already planning our next time to return. Our site (9) was spacious and private. I love that it had a few alcoves to separate the space without being cramped. It was perfect. Peaceful and inviting. Mike and the camp host were friendly and helpful. You could tell how much they love what they do. The passion to make the most for anyone who has the privilege to stay with them. The river was close to the sites and shallow enough to walk for miles ( bring water shoes for those rocks ). It was clean and I loved the multiple picnic tables to be able to relax by the water and spend time with my family. Everything was so well thought out. I have an aversion porta potties. But they were super clean and well maintained. There's even a little sink inside of them so you can actually wash your hands which is wonderful. You can tell that Zen acres is a passion project and their ideas of expanding and providing other services. My fiance and I might even have our wedding there :) . I would 1000% recommend to everyone and I could and have ranted and raved to anyone in earshot.

Prior to arrival Mike sent updates about finding the campgrounds and they even offered firewood and ice delivery. Having one less thing to pack made a huge difference. Ill definitely be coming back!

Beautiful property with well thought out campsites. We stayed at #4 which was spacious and private. You could see the campers at the site next to us but didn't feel like we were right on top of them. Once we set up the tent it blocked the view and made the site feel very private. I'd highly recommend and would definitely come back.

We just stayed here over the busy Labor Day weekend with our family of four & our dog, & we had a fantastic time. The site we were on was big (#3)— we easily fit our large tent with room to spare. Honestly, the space could have accommodated three or four more tents if needed. Even though there were other campers around, everything was well spaced out with trees offering a good amount of privacy. The layout of the campground is really well thought out. There’s a main road that makes it easy to get to other sites, the porta-potties, & the nearby creek — all of which were clean & easy to access. The vibe was great. There were campers of all ages & lots of friendly dogs. Despite the campground being busy for the weekend, it was surprisingly quiet at night & not rowdy at all during the day. We think the generous spacing between sites really helped keep things peaceful. Another big plus: you’re allowed to burn firewood in the designated fire pit at your site! Overall, this is a great spot with plenty of space & a laid-back atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks so much, Mike!!

Camping at zen acres was fantastic. Big private camp sites! We could not even see our neighbors. The space was flat and clean with a very high quality table. The canopy was breathtaking. A short walk to the beautiful creek. It was also safe and quiet. Some people have complained on here about the port-a- potty. I have to say it was clean, close by, had toilet paper and was just fine! I’m not sure Mike could do anything better. He responded quickly was friendly and helpful. I much preferred it to state parks or other profit focused sites and property. This was set up for family’s and puppies. Our golden doodle was in heaven and made a bed in the ferns. GREAT WEEKEND! thank you Mike.

This is my second time staying here and it is hands down the best campground I've been to. I've been camping for years and this place is top notch. It's hard to find a campground that is as private and spacious as this one, these days. There is access to a beautiful creek that you can explore for hours, and the detail put into the property really shows. Mike is an amazing, super genuine host and offers daily ice/firewood delivery even. Also - the porta potties are ACTUALLY CLEAN!! The entire property just feels clean, serene, and well taken care of. We will be back next year again! And the year after that!
