With the main house built in 1860 this property has seen many uses such as a farm, retail Christmas store, church, rental cabins, and a gravel quarry among other things. I now try to keep the back acreage by the brook and pond as natural as possible for habitat, as well as you the campers!

Peaceful Pondside Retreat

We really enjoyed our two nights! Simple setting by a pond with a creek and path behind the site. It was beautiful and so peaceful. The stars the second night were beautiful. This was a relaxing spot and we will definitely be back. Thank you Gus!

Peaceful Pondside Retreat

This place is so convenient off the highway. Gus keeps the spot super clean, mowed, lots of space. The pond is enchanting and peaceful, watched the little ducks swimming around while eating dinner. I would definitely stay again.

Great Site, Would Stay Again

We very much enjoyed our stay at Gus's Campground. It's a very peaceful, relaxing site. It was wonderful to sit next to the pond and watch the ducks while sipping our morning coffee. Gus was very friendly when we had the opportunity to meet him. We would definitely stay again!

Prime camping spot

We loved this spot on Gus's land! We were right in front of a pond with a little dock. We could barely see other houses back in the trees. It was so peaceful and quiet. We walked along the nicely mowed path after dinner to town. Our dog was ecstatic to be free and unleashed for a few hours! We'd love to come back!
