## Recent reviews

> We loved camping on Jennifer's land. Their property was simply amazing and a dream spot to stay. The view, the drive and location are top notch. If we are camping in the area again we will be stopping by. I can not forget to mention the goodest boy Bishop. You must check in with him first then Jennifer. He is such a great dog you will hear him at night from time to time but that is simple letting you know he's doing his job, protecting you and the property. Thank you Jennifer and your family for your hospitality.

> Jennifer’s farm was a tranquil place to stay with beautiful views of cows in the pastures and wildflowers. Having the outhouse was convenient for rural camping. Their sweet farm dog visited us from time to time. Once in awhile you’d hear neighboring ATVs and the dog barking but overall, pretty pleasant.

> The camp site was beautiful and spacious for four people. The compost toilet was in good condition although the temps were too cold for the showers. Jennifer had plenty of wood for purchase and we had a great time with the farm dog, although he can be nosey at night and is a good reminder to pack up all food and food items well and securely when camping. We would definitely return!

> It was great to camp at possum tail. Rain moved in while I was there, but I had a great view of storms coming across the mountains in the distance. Bishop the big friendly farm dog dog stopped by a couple of times. He was well trained and a good watch dog at night, which was a bonus in this remote area.
