This 40 Acre parcel has been in my family since the 1870's when my Great^4 grandparents homesteaded it. For the first 50 years or so, It was used as a hay field and cattle pasture, but it has been managed as a tree farm ever since and we are still doing periodic selective harvests. It was handed down through the paternal family to my Great Uncle, who passed away in 2013 and deeded it to my 2nd cousin in the will. My Dad and I bought it from my cousin, who lives in Arizona, together. Then my Wife and I bought my Dad out with our share of the profits from our first commercial thinning. Although I plan to do some minor harvesting in the future, I no longer intend to do any clearcutting. Selective harvests only. I hope that campers will make ample use of windfalls and other debris to keep the fire risk low. I also use the property as a release site for wildlife caught as part of my urban nuisance wildlife business.

Thick Forest Seclusion

The site was beautifully maintained and the sanican was spotless. We wished we could have stayed longer and will come back again.

Thick Forest Seclusion

Quiet, clean, secluded.

This campsite was well secluded but easy to find. My group loved that there was a spotlessly clean port-a-potty. We were tent camping and there was plenty of room. The campsite was well-maintained and perfect for those who just want to get some quiet time. Be aware there is no cell reception. I would definitely stay again.

Thick Forest Seclusion

Great stay - Recommended!

Our group had a great stay at Thick Forest Seclusion. We appreciated the cool shade of the camp on hot days and enjoyed exploring the many trails. The meadow next to camp was great for frisbee. Super clean porta potty. Recommended!

Pastoral Overlook

Great experience

The view was really beautiful and many hiking trails we went on. Porta potty was the cleanest one I've ever seen! The only downside is the bees, but I am not knocking this camp because bees have literally been EVERYWHERE we have camped this year and we usually do disperse. I loved the sounds of crickets at night and how amazing the stars were! Highly recommend this hipcamp.

Pastoral Overlook

We had an absolute blast on Jack's pastoral overlook site. The site was very secluded and had a surprising access to many walking trails around the property. We are definitely coming back next summer, and don't forget about the stars! We have 4 people and a dog, two tents and two cars up there with plenty of room at the site.

Thick Forest Seclusion

Family camping trip

Very nice and secluded. Only issue were the vicious yellow jackets. A few in our group were attacked and stung multiple times because of riding over a nest on their bike. It is understandable being in the Forrest. Other than that it's was great!
