Garden Party RV Site
It was an ok experience. The creek was nice and the kids enjoyed it. The porta potty was clean as stated. What really didn’t work is that the host’s listing doesn’t list the extra costs. I was told that 6 people were allowed and that any more than that costs extra. Great, I paid for the extra people and the extra vehicle. She did not have the selection for extra people so I was told to choose something that costed the same. Day 2 on her property she asked me to venmo her $70 because any people over 4 needed to be paid for. Previous communication was forgotten about. Also, on the listing it does not say that wood is $8 a piece nor does it say that on the property where the wood is located. They actually put wood in your spot before you arrive. But I was then told that wood costed $8 a piece and should venmo that as well. Luckily, we only used wood we brought. All this to say, the listing needs to be more specific and list ALL of the extra costs. I would not agree to “let’s just figure this out later and venmo” only to find out that there was serious miscommunication. Make sure it’s all ironed out on the listing before booking.

A Peaceful Sanctuary
I seriously can't recommend this spot enough! Margot gave us the warmest welcome and was a delight to interact with over the course of our stay. Her property is a beautiful oasis of butterflies and beautiful native plants throughout the area. We stayed at the RV site but had no problem setting up our tent in a nice grassy area. If you've done any kind of dispersed camping then this will feel like glamping no matter which site you use. A flushing toilet?? Absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I stayed here with his 8 year old son and we had so much fun exploring the river, which was very safe and full of all kinds of cool wildlife that his son was excited to see in person. This is the perfect getaway if you want to go out and enjoy nature but don't want to necessarily "rough it". Also, I am an absolute magnet for mosquitos and Margot said that this year was the worst their mosquitos have been but it wasn't bad at all for someone who is regularly attacked by mosquitos the minute I step outside. With the help of a mosquito repeller that Margot let us test out I came out with only two bites! Usually I'm covered in 10+ by the end of every camping trip. We will definitely be back and I encourage everyone to take a break from life and come out here to truly relax!

Cozy riverside camping
We loved staying at Margot’s land 😊 beautiful campsite and cozy tent. But the personal touches are what really make this a special place: flowers on the table, riverside dining spot, and Margot’s hospitality that goes above and beyond.

We had a wonderful time at Margot’s! The creek was so fun to hang out at, and we had an entire day to ourselves, despite the two other sites being booked. Plenty of space to spread out! The meadows were spacious enough for our two tents and offered shade, in areas, during the day. Margot’s garden of wildflowers was especially nice!
My only word of advice is the neighbors cats. Put up all food and dishes or you may have a visitor. We took precautions on night two and had no problems.
Margot keeps plenty of wood and eggs, although we didn’t need any this trip. She also keeps her camp clean and is around should you need anything.
Highly recommend and will be back!

Margot's little place is just amazing, full of small details to make you feel special. Very calm and close to Elbe if you are up for Ice cream, pizza in the Train car, or even a ride through the woods in the steam train and close to Mineral, that if you are lucky might win some good meat at the local meat raffle.
Margot with her kindness, the very old dog and the super friendly chickens are a plus to the stay, we enjoyed every day and would definitely visit again

This was such a beautiful site to stay at! The creek access was perfect for my dog and me. Margot was very nice and I felt very safe. Perfect campsite for families.
