Campsite #2 Gravel Bar Turnaround
Great site! If you can find it.
Had a good time here tent camping for the April 2024 eclipse! The view of it was absolutlely spectacular. The site was nice and secluded with very few sounds from other campers/busy roads, and the sky is a bortle 2 or so, making it is very dark and you can see an insane amount of stars/the milky way. Only issue was, the directions provided were pretty vague which caused me to end up at the wrong campsite. Melissa was very chill about it and helped me to the right spot. Pro tip: If you're trying to get to campsites #2 and #3, turn right just before a bridge going over twelve mile creek from state highway C traveling southbound. Also, there was no fire pit, but it was easy enough to MacGyver one out of nearby rocks.

Campsite #1 Farmhouse Front Yard
Tent camping here was awesome! Thanks for letting us use your lovely space. The stars were amazing and it’s nicely secluded. The stream sounds are really soothing at night.
Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
Primitive and secluded campsite at the end of a rocky/sand road. The area isn’t cleared very well, there’s few level spots, and is just overall unkempt. The swimming hole is nice and worth it , but it felt kind of sketchy (atvs driving up and down nearby roads unsure if they’d come where we were) and the directions to get there weren’t great. If you’re looking for a secluded spot to swim and have for wheel drive then I’d say go for it.

Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
We loved the private gravel bar campground. The clear creek had a nice swimming hole and the water running over the rocks was the perfect calming background noise to sleep next to. Felt like we were in our own private getaway. Make sure you have a sleeping pad or air mattress, as you are on gravel, but there is a nice flat spot to set up your tent. Hope to come back soon!

Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
We had an amazing time camping here and highly recommend! As we drove through the orchard to the site, we passed Melissa working in the orchard and she was so warm and welcoming! Upon arriving at the site, we were pleasantly surprised at how much space we had all to ourselves (our dogs loved this as well). The site was very secluded and quiet and we had the clearest creek water running through the site for the dogs to play in. Also, not that we needed it, but we actually got great cell phone reception out there…which is hard to come by with scenery like this! On the way home, we were already talking about how we can’t wait to go back and camp there again. Thanks for sharing your space with us Melissa! We will definitely be back!

Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
I loved tent camping on Melissa’s land. It was very remote and private.
