Sunrise by the Pond
This place was absolutely beautiful. The owner and the property are welcoming in thier respective areas. The pond is beautiful, the animals are beautiful, and the site has more than enough. Bring pillows and blankets, pots and pans, but other than that, you are good to go. Wonderful stay here.

I really enjoyed spending time on Kevin's beautiful land! The property has everything you need to get out of the city and spend time in solitude. Kevin is stellar person and host who genuinely cares about those people he hosts on his property. I highly recommend saying with him.

Sunrise by the Pond
We had an overall great experience. My family and I very much enjoyed our time there. We had a blast canoeing in the pond, chopping wood, tending to the fire, and walking around the farm. Kevin, the host was a great guy. They run a good camp ground. I would recommend.

Kevin is great, and the whole area is wonderful. The tent is very clean and the campsite is large and accommodating. I was able to kayak on the pond and loved it. I enjoyed spending time with some of the goats and horses, and had an all-around lovely time. I will return!

Kevin’s land was such a gem! The tent was cozy, spotless, and ready to settle right into. There was plenty of firewood—by the end of the weekend I felt like a true lumberjack. Canoeing on the beautiful pond and watching the farm animals was an absolute dream, and our dog had the best time exploring the property. The site feels wonderfully remote and peaceful, but it’s still close enough to a store if you need to grab any essentials. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of nature, comfort, and charm!

It’s always appreciated when the host provides necessities, and this site had fire wood, water, trash can, seating, and a lantern. It was lovely to see the animals and be on the beautiful property. Definitely recommend for some tranquility. It was a pleasure to meet the hosts and I’m so glad our dogs got along well. Truly memorable and special.

Lovely spot and experience for my 4 year old. We felt very safe. The dog was able to roam off leash no problem. The area where you camp is private, large, has a gas grill that worked well (no grill tongs etc) a porta potty (very clean), 5 gallon tub of water, trash can, fire pit with wood, kayaks, canoes and there is enough room to play lawn games. It is private and a bit detached from the main farm but a very short walk (~1 min) up a dirt/gravel road to where the animals are. The farm hands and owner are super friendly and very kind, letting my son help some with the day to day farm work. Well worth the overnight trip and experience for my son. Thank you!

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved it here. The hosts were two of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and gave amazing hospitality. They made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our getaway. The atmosphere here is incredible, and we 100% plan on coming back one day. 10/10 Unforgettable weekend.

Sunrise by the Pond
Great place to stay! Plenty of privacy, but we really liked having access to potable water and an outdoor shower. We stayed in the peek of summer, but there was plenty of shade. Kevin provided plenty of free firewood, and chairs to sit in. We also enjoyed the kayaks and canoes that were available. Lastly all of the farm animals were so sweet!

My wife and I had a fantastic time relaxing and enjoying our anniversary at "Sunrise at the pond." Kevin and his wife were excellent host, and the animals were great entertainment.

We had a terrific time camping on Kevin's farm. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend surrounded by nature. Despite visiting in the heat of summer, there was plenty of shade at both the gathering area by the pond and at the tent, which was very cool and comfortable. Kevin and his family are terrific hosts, and we enjoyed the chance to walk their working farm and see a variety of animals. Our hosts thought of everything and were super accessible. And you definitely won't run out of firewood! We definitely look forward to returning.

Sunrise by the Pond
Other’s reviews of the stay are spot on! Spacious tent, we added an additional queen size raised camp bed with ease. Shower is hot and close to site and port-a-john clean and closer to the site. There’s a gas station with a convenience market less than a mile from the site for last minute supplies.
We took the kayaks out for an afternoon trip around the pond and got to visit a few farm animals. There are trails to hike right from the camp site.
Malinda and Kevin were responsive to our request and really enjoyed getting to meet them. Hope to stay here again in the future!

This was our second time staying at sunrise by the pond. We always enjoy our visit! Everything is always clean and well kept. The kids absolutely loved the animals and going out onto the water! The hosts are responsive and even provided us with a color packet for the fire! We will be back for another visit!

This place is an excellent get away from the city. The tent is comfortable. There are kayaks and canoes for exploring the pond. This place is so peaceful. If fresh air and quite are what you need this place is excellent. Kevin is very friendly and responsive. He made sure we were well supplied with firewood and fresh water. There is a portapotty a short walk from the tent and it is kept very clean. Exploring the farm and meeting the animals was very fun. Our dog had a fun time being off leash and exploring around our little camp.

It is such a beautiful place. A pond you can enjoy on some kayaks, animals, nice and roomy tent, fire pit, just a wonderful experience! Will definitely be back.

Kevin was a wonderful host - making sure we could find the place easily with great and timely directions, and then letting us enjoy it quietly. The site exceeded our expectations with the available amenities and we especially loved getting to see and interact with the animals. Everything was clean and well-kept. We had a 3 and 5 year old, and this was their first glamping trip. Would absolutely recommend Kevin as a host and this lovely site!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying on Kevin's farm! The camping area is very large and separated from the farm so we could let our 3 large dogs roam freely. 2 adults and 3 large dogs also fit nicely in the large tent provided by Kevin. He provided tons of firewood, a water jug (that he kindly refilled whenever we needed!), a porta-potty onsite, and an outdoor shower - with hot water!! He stopped by a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We were also encouraged and welcomed to bring our dogs (on leashes) to visit the farm animals! We met horses, cows, goats, donkeys, chickens, and even got to play with baby chicks 🥰🥰🥰 !!
We very much enjoyed our time away from the city and relaxed by the pond, cooked over the firepit, and let our dogs be dogs (swimming, getting dirty, farm animal adventures).
The one thing that surprised us was the train that runs nearby. It had a tendency to blow horns loudly at 3am 😂 but we will gladly accept some train horns for the kindness Kevin's family showed us and the unique and wonderful retreat we enjoyed.

We’re used to primitive camping so going to a place that already had a glamping tent was a nice change! It thunderstormed the first night and withstood the rain.
My husband chose this spot because he loves fishing, and he was not disappointed. We did do some evening fishing. There were some mosquitos but not unbearable. Bathroom and shower are by no means glamorous but does the job well. The shower was surprising very hot!
We spoke to Kevin for a little bit and he was very passionate about his farm. We even got to buy eggs off of him!
We’re excited to bring friends with us next time!

We loved our stay at Kevin’s. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the pond, walking through the woods of the property, and meeting all the farm animals. We also loved building a fire and drinking our morning coffee while the sun rose over the pond. There is so much to do all in one place! It was great to meet Kevin and hear about the history of the farm. We hope to be back soon!

Stayed a night with my dog as a stop point from Myrtle beach to PA. Kevin and his site were great! Large cooler of cold water was provided. Free Firewood burned great, he provides everything u need to start a fire. Safari Tent AND outhouse was spotless, no bugs. Outdoor shower with hot water was a nice amenity.
Right on the pond my pup and I loved the canoes/kayaks. My dog and I got hungry pretty late and Kevin hooked us up with a huge steak for a good price that cooked great over the fire from frozen. All the animals were great and looked very well taken care of. The star of the show was his dog Buck, who will greet you before Kevin does. You can see the thought & care that has been put into his farm and campsite.

Slice of country heaven. Felt safe and welcoming. The view of the stars, mist on the pond in the morning, it was completely relaxing. Can't wait to return.

Tent was clean, farm land was awesome to explore. Very accommodating giving goat food and telling us what foods donkeys, horses and goats could eat. Canoes and kayaks were easy to put in and fun, fire was great. Grill was clean annd has propane, porta potty was clean. Overall a great experience with a ton of land and things to do.

This is our third trip to Kevin’s sunrise by the pond and like always we had a great time just unplugging from our busy lives and getting to simply enjoy nature and all the awesome animals at Kevin’s farm. 10/10 recommend and we’ll be definitely coming back before our big move to Washington state.
