Great for short stays or RV newbies
This is a beautiful spot but sadly, the neighborhood is in the process of development. I recommend this spot if you are on your way to a destination, or new to the RV world and learning how your systems work. If you are seeking a quiet, peaceful experience, I don't recommend this location. It's near a local highway (construction trucks, street racers, semis) and a flight pattern for small planes. Too noisy for my taste. I got a kick out of it as it would have been quieter camping in my own driveway!
The spot is immaculate and backs to a beautiful grove of trees. The pad is an extension of the owner's driveway and relatively close to their home. It's angled in a way which it feels somewhat private and the owners were respectful to keep their distance which I appreciated with Covid. That said, I would have loved to meet them in person and have a conversation.
In the description, it mentions "secluded" with farmland on one side and wetlands on the other. I was expecting a far more serene experience but felt like I was in the middle of suburbia. Secluded if you sit on one side of your camper and don't mind looking at the houses across the way and dealing with the noise. I didn't experience any wildlife with the exception of birds but was unable to appreciate them due to the traffic noise.
The owners have planted some trees that will enhance the location and provide some privacy. Unfortunately, I believe a new housing development is going up next to the pad based on the hot pink flags in the middle of the field. If this happens, it will be a bummer for the owners as it will truly take away from this location.
That said, I would stay here again and bring earplugs for sleeping and noise cancelling headphones when sitting outside. This is an ideal location when getting your RV ready for the season to make sure you have everything you need. I took advantage of making notes for next season and doing some cleaning as it was super windy and too cold to be outside. I have had some maintenance issues with my RV and this was a great place to test the new battery knowing I had the option to plug-in if I had issues.
Ramona was excellent at communicating and left a cute welcome rock with information one might need during the stay. As mentioned, this spot was immaculate but definitely not the feel of nature as one might expect from the description.
One suggestion, larger street numbers or a sign indicating Hideaway in the Wetlands. I drove right past the driveway because I coudln't see the numbers. Because it's located off a narrow road, it was challenging to find a safe place to turn around.
All-and-all, this wasn't what I was expecting but I made the best of it. I would return but not for the nature fix as much as having a great place to test your RV and make sure all things are up and running before venturing out to a nature filled campsite.
