Pleasant Places campground is clean, quiet, spacious, and private with lots of nooks for R&R, as well as ample space for play and activities. It is an ideal location for large groups and in order to keep the campground as a single site, larger groups are given preference. Centrally located and with 10 acres of field, forest, and farm in a quaint community, there is something of interest for everyone. In camp, you will find a rustic kitchen with a sink, three picnic tables, and a fire pit. Bring water containers for hand and dish washing - a five-gallon jug fits above the sink nicely for ease of use. The resource area for campers is at the second gate. It has an electrical outlet, and it is safe to leave items charging here, as well as a water hose for filling up your containers. Bundled firewood, including kindling, are available for purchase as long as supplies last. Birdsong comes early here, and crickets and frogs light up the evenings. There aren't any city lights, so stargazing is a real delight. We don't have goats anymore, but the chickens and ducks are lovely to watch, so take a moment and say hello to them. We are Michael, Summer, Judy, and Chula, and we are pleased that you are considering a stay with us! If you have any questions or need special accommodations, please reach out, we are happy to help if we can. Happy Camping Friends!Follow a deer trail through a budding forest or pick a bunch of wild blackberries, apples, mushrooms, or flowers. Enjoy communing with our feathered friends in the barn-yard - if you are gentle and calm, they will eat from your hands. Other animals include deer, skunk, coyote, and possum - bear and cat are not common, but please do be conscientious about leaving food out. While the campsite, play space, and driveway loops are mowed, most of the grounds are wild, so tromping shoes are advised. The play space has a net, so gather your games, or don't bother packing them and just rent ours. Locally, lakes Mayfield, Ike Kinswa, and Riffe provide lots of boating, swimming, and fishing opportunities. If it's hot, stop by Three Dog Cider in Ethel for a refreshing and delicious pint. Just five minutes away, Carlisle Lake offers walking trails, outdoor exercise equipment, fishing opportunities, summer concerts, and a playground for the kids. Grab a latte at Backroads Coffee on your way. Also, check out the Herold Observatory, the second largest telescope in the state, and learn from a brilliant host who will be happy to answer any questions you might have about our night skies. One last thing... I have an often disabling chronic illness, so your stay at Pleasant Places, is a very real help in hard times. Thank you so much. Unfortunately, my energy is limited and the space is large, so I ask everyone to follow 'Leave No Trace', as outlined by Hipcamp. A little cleanup on my part is expected, but please do not bring any micro-trash such as glitter, confetti, spray foam, candles/wax, sidewalk chalk, or any other item that takes from the natural beauty of this place and could be harmful to animals. Also, a compost bucket is provided for you to wipe all of the food and grease off your dishes before washing them. Not doing so leaves a stinky mess that attracts bugs and animals to camp. It also requires that I dig out and clean all the rocks in the drain. I know the sink is super helpful, so let's work together to keep this amenity in camp, yeah? If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I am happy to help if I can!
