Just got back from an amazing stay at this private campsite, and it was seriously awesome! John was super helpful and even helped us carry our stuff to the campsite.
He was super accommodating and really patient with our anxious pups, which made everything so much easier for us.
The campsite itself was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing getaway.

We had a great time on John's property. His wife met us and hauled all our equipment to the camp site. John took us for a tour of the property which was cool learning about the history. Very convenient having firewood and eggs for sale on site.

Primitive Site in a Quiet Location
My family had an incredible time at John's property. John and his family were gracious hosts. Our family swam in the nearby creek, fished each day we were there (and caught something each time!), hiked a bit, gave the goats a good petting, and otherwise enjoyed being by ourselves in the wilderness. The outhouse that John provides is perfectly adequate. We brought plenty of water knowing that there was no plumbing on site ahead of time. John was also kind enough to help us get our belongings to the site itself after I injured my shoulder prior to our trip. I felt better by the end, but his family still helped us get our belongings back to our car! We really want to come back and have been talking about our trip ever since. Thanks you, John!

Amazing secluded site! Great communication and help packing in and out. Felt well taken care of while also letting me enjoy the space to myself. Will likely stay again!

John was a great host! Very helpful and super nice. We bought a few bundles of firewood and some delicious fresh eggs from him. He helped haul our stuff to the campsite (very useful in the rain) and made sure that we got settled okay. The campsite is very private with a nice nearby outhouse. The campsite is a bit of a trek from where you park, so don't consider it "car camping," but our dog and 2 year old were able to make it down the hill unassisted with no problems. Our daughter loved seeing the chickens and goats. It was great to get a remote camping experience, but still be only a 10-20 minute drive from coffee/ shops. We would definitely recommend this campsite!

Second time camping here, it was amazing, just like the last time. Very secluded campsite, but still close enough to the parking that you can grab anything if needed. John is a great host.

This site is incredible, as is John. It is next to a small steam near the site that you can hear at night, and a fishing spot not too far. Lots of space to walk, and very private. We will absolutely be coming back!

John was a great host! He helped us bring our equipment down to the camping spot, showed us around the property, and then left us to ourselves for the rest of the stay! This helped us feel perfectly isolated even within the property limits. Fire wood was a good price and helped keep us warm all night and we were able to catch a trout within the river tucked on the edge of the property. A babbling brook adjacent to our campsite made for a very peaceful night sleep. Overall 10/10 camping experience and we would be happy to come back to unwind any time.
