The camping area is right at the lake with an area a little further from it for a tent. It’s pretty and I enjoyed hearing the birds at dusk. The road to get in is rough and the recommendation to have an AWD vehicle shouldn’t be ignored. Part of being next to a lake means hearing a very loud chorus of frogs all night so pack earplugs. The composting toilet area is well maintained and sits a good distance from the tent area, which makes sense, however, there’s a small trench to cross on the way to it that’s not a big deal until it fills with rain and has to be crossed at night.

10/10 would camp here again. I live 2 hours away so this was perfect for a mini trip.

We tent camped at Wayne’s Land and had an absolute blast. Beautiful views of the lake, great amenities in the kayaks and swimming dock. There are definitely alligators in the waters, but nothing really bothered us the whole time we were there.
Only downside, I would say, is that the fire pit doesn’t have a grill, so you have to get creative with any cooking.

Simple & Sweet Stay-in Campsite

Lakeside Campsite with Kayaks
It was a great spot to camp. Simple get away with lake front view. We kayaked and canoed with our dog. The campsite was clean and it was convenient to have the compost toilet. We were able to pull right up to the site with our SUV and roof top tent set up. It was fun star gazing and watching the bats hunt over the water.

I loved camping on Wayne's land. Everything was quiet and clean. We loved being able to canoe on the lake. The compost toilet was nice and secluded. Would definitely stay here again.

What a gem of a property and great hosts! Freshly cut campsite right off a gorgeous spot of the lake. The picnic table and fire pit were great and there is an awesome spot to pitch your tent close by! Thank you and I will be back!

Such a beautiful piece of land! The hosts were wonderful! Keep in mind this is a very primitive spot in the middle of nowhere so you really are camping, not glamping! It was very quiet, serene, and natural. We would love to return.

This was a very peaceful and private site to visit. The campsite is tucked away and near a body of water. There was a fire pit and table as well.

Came back to Bruce’s land to see the total solar eclipse on 4/8/2024. I have to stress - Bruce is an excellent communicator and very patient. I must have changed my reservation 4 times before showing up with an extra vehicle. He allowed me to modify the reservation on Hipcamp and pay the additional fees for the extra persons I brought. The site is gorgeous. Road to the site is much improved. I won’t say too much more or might have trouble getting dates in the future. This is a real gem.

What a fantastic campsite. Jose met us and showed us around. So peaceful! It was my daughter's 18th birthday and she wanted to camp. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Communication was spot on and their property is gorgeous and right on the lake. I highly recommend!
The campsite was very spacious. We were able to set up two large tents comfortably. The night time noises were so peaceful to fall asleep to. Only one person in our party took out a kayak, but we just relaxed on the floating dock while he enjoyed paddling around. Perfect stay.
Thank you Bruce and Jose. We will definitely come back again

Enjoyed the camp! Great lake, lots for the kids to do, good fishing. One of our kiddos accidentally dropped a paddle in the lake and the hosts were very gracious and kind about it. Close enough to grab things from town, but secluded enough to feel like you have some privacy.

Bruce and José are excellent hosts. We had an unexpected squall, and they were kind enough to provide extra firewood after ours got drenched. The location itself is delightful. Lots of wildlife around the lake and great fishing. We will be back!

I loved camping on Bruce and Jose's land. Jose met us and we followed him in his truck to lead us to the site. We were absolutely alone. No one else on the lake or at the other sites.
Things to keep in mind:
It gets pitch black at night.
The tent site is not completely flat unfortunately so keep that in mind when orienting your tent.
Lots of dead trees in the lake so be prepared to lose some fish hooks!

The fishing here is exceptional. We each caught 4 fish. Fly fishing and traditional both will yield exciting medium bass, bluegill, crappie, various sunfish. Use of their canoes and kayaks is included and it’s great equipment. They have a new dome structure and it’s fantastic. A very well appointed cabin with a blackstone griddle and wood burning stove. we decided we needed firewood at like 9:30pm and they brought it within minutes. Jose is very nice and gave my family a tour of the whole facilities and made sure my mom knew how to use everything.

Beautiful lakeside campsite 🏕
Tent · With kids ·
Lakeside Campsite with Kayaks
The lakeside campsite was beautiful and restocked with firewood daily. We had plenty of room for two tents and three vehicles. The floating dock provided the perfect spot for sunbathing and fishing. Our boys took the canoe out several times and had great fishing. Sadly, a rainstorm ushered in our last morning, so we did not get to enjoy a final lakeside breakfast. Our whole family agreed that this was spectacular camping trip, and we can’t wait to do it again.

Beaver Pond at Daffodil Hill
Really enjoyed my stay here! Booked a last minute trip for me and my dog to do some tent camping during a stretch of perfect weather. Lovely campsite near a small lily pad covered pond, with fire ring, picnic table. Plan to return soon and bring my wife along. Nice and quiet with very dark skies, great for watching wildlife and stargazing.

We had a wonderful time at Daffodil Hill! You could not ask for two more gracious hosts. They were there to greet us and gave us a tour of their lovely property. We fished, made campfires and had a wonderful three days!

This was easily my favorite site so far on Hipcamp! The hosts were friendly and accommodating, and the land was gorgeous. Daffodil Hill Lake #1 had a view of the water, nice shady tree coverage, a fire ring, and a large picnic table. We were able to use provided kayaks and a canoe to get on the water, where we went fishing and caught several small fish. The water itself was peaceful, sunny, and even had water lily pads blooming. The composting toilet, while primitive in setup, was clean, well maintained, comfortable, and positioned with a relaxing view. The site felt remote, with only the occasional glimpse of other campers.
The only note I'll give is that the lake is pretty small. It's a perfect spot for quietly putzing around or doing some relaxing fishing, but isn't large enough for any distance or more adventurous exploring. If you're looking for space to kayak/canoe instead of just chill, this probably isn't the right spot.
10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic hosts. Property is outstanding. At beaver pond expect to hear an orchestra of wildlife all night. Loved seeing and hearing so many bullfrogs. Good fire ring right by the pond.
Fishing was fantastic. I caught almost entirely Bluegill, which I threw back, using medium minnows and snelled hooks. Could catch a fish every 5 min in certain spots, provided the canoe could have been anchored somehow. A canoe anchor would make a great addition. Weather was wonderful and the water was clean and clear down to about 5’.

It was beautiful and quiet, except for us lol. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome with flower and a tour our the grounds. My son loved to kiaks and canoe

Lovely spot with a compostable toilet on site. Amazing fishing and water with access to kayaks and canoes. Other people do live on the small pond so you aren’t totally isolated but still a good spot for an escape from the city!
