    The campsite offers a welcoming and homey atmosphere with hosts Sheri and Johnnie frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. Campers appreciate the thoughtful amenities provided, such as grills, fire pits, outdoor showers, and even a hot tub, making their stay comfortable and convenient. The location is ideal for those looking to explore nearby attractions like Hamilton Pool and Reimers Ranch, yet it remains peaceful and secluded, offering beautiful views and starry nights. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one noted that some campsites are closer to others, which may not suit those seeking complete solitude.

    Beautiful nature camping spot
    Tent
    Sheri was such an amazing host and I loved talking and getting to know them! Such a beautiful soul. The location was absolutely beautiful and I wasn’t expecting to have such an array of items like a grill, tongs, spatula, etc! I feel in love with the rustic beauty of the campground and it had such a “ homey “ vibe! It was everything I wanted in an outdoor getaway from work and life! They informed me about Reimer park and the river there is absolutely beautiful and a must see! I plan on returning asap!!

    Amazing. Two of the nicest people I’ve ever meet. Sheri makes you feel like you just ran into an old friend. Their land is beautiful and set up perfect. The outdoor shower is the best I’ve ever had. I would recommend to anyone who asks and definitely look forward to staying there in the future. It was good for the soul. The land has a wonderful energy to it.

    Very friendly host and beautiful site! Was close enough to town to go and enjoy it while being far enough away to not feel like it. The stars were beautiful!
