> This was such a lovely spot! We stayed overnight in prep for Old Rag the next morning. Property signage was really helpful and the property was well kept. Heard so many cool sounds including a very loud owl!! Great spot as long as you don’t need bathroom/washhouse facilities. If you generally use low to the ground camping chairs, would recommend bringing a taller one so you can feel the fire on your legs better - the fire pit has high sides.

> Graham was the perfect Host. The provided Firewood at a very lost cost is great. Will be coming back to one of his sites in 2027.
