We were greeted warmly and offer the better lot that was available upon our arrival. We had a peaceful nights sleep and a lovely fire to cook on with wood supplied by Robert. I would say that the only downfall was the motion detector light pole that shined into our car. Small issue easily remedied with window shades.

Woodside campsite was secluded and quiet. Rob is very nice and greets you on arrival. Live music on Saturday in Rob’s backyard was a bonus. We will def be staying with Rob again if we are in the area.

We had a wonderful time camping at Robert and Sally's place. Our site had a picnic table, fire ring and a stack of firewood. It was a quiet and peaceful place. We drove just a few miles to Twin Rocks and parked at the Ghost Town trail head to bicycle. We had a great time.

Excellent Hosts, enjoyed my stay. Off grid, but not off grid at the same time. Fifteen minutes or so to get anything you need . Great trails for moderate hikes close by.

We are so happy we chose to stay at woodside. Robert and Sally made us feel at home by sharing their beautiful property, ideas on places to eat and their special musical talent. Robert met us on arrival and invited us to their jam session later in the evening with their friends which was the perfect end to our trip. Sally reminded me that the flight 93 memorial was a short 50 minute drive from their property, so we visited it the following day. We highly recommend the memorial if you have time. We didn’t plan on spending over 2 hours there, but there is so much to see, hear about and remember. Thanks again for making our trip so memorable!

Awesome place for tent camping, our spot was in the shade and very cool on the warm days we had camping. The site is quiet and clean with a Dollar General and ice cream store very close by. We booked this campsite to be close to the Ghost Town Trail, the trail head is only 1.25 miles away and we just rode our bicycles there everyday leaving the car at the site, safe and sound. The live acoustical music is a must see and was an added bonus to our stay, the people extremely friendly and inviting to our stay. -enjoy

My stay was short and sweet due to my travel plans, but Robert and his wife have a great setup and were super nice upon arrival. If I’m ever in the area, I’d love to stay when I have more time!
