Walk-In Tent Camp

And it’s absolutely perfect for our group. From the communication to the lay of the land and the outhouse, the site has everything you need for a great night of camping. The site is open enough to play catch, frisbee or any kind of lawn game. Plenty of trees to hammock and plenty of flat areas to tent. There is a sled where you park so you can pull your gear to the site, we appreciated that. Just an overall great experience with thoughtful hosts!

Camp 2 - West Woods - RV/Tent

I enjoyed my stay at this site. Has a nice fire ring and tons of wood around the area that you can gather. I ended up bringing my own wood but I didn’t even need it as it was more than enough around the area. Very clean, private, peaceful, and all around a good site. I drove a big transit van and set up my tent, canopy and brought my generator if it was needed. I WILL be returning!!

Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent

This place was awesome. Very quiet, well organized and plenty of space. I tent camped and the ground was level and I was able to pull right in which made it easy to set up. The owners are awesome and such nice people. We felt really welcome there.

Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent

This was our maiden voyage in our new rig, our semi-local "dry run" boondocking outing. The hosts were extremely communicative throughout the booking process, and very friendly and helpful throughout. Site 1 (North Meadow) is on the far edge of the property, secluded and isolated from amy neighbors. There is firewood for sale (and a sled for transporting if by foot), and there was also a good number of downed branches and twigs available as well. The farm literally next door was a nice little outing that would be a long walk if buying a pumpkin or anything like that. All in all, a great and relaxing time. Will be back for sure.
