Had a great time, but won’t return.
I took my son to pollinator pond for his very first camping trip, and we had a great time!
First off, the pond is great. It has ducks, geese, and plenty of small fish to catch. Perfect for kids. The camping spots are separated by about 50 to 100 yards, so you get plenty of room. Small trees offer some limited shade. The tent spots are soft, and free of any significant stones, and you have several options at each spot. Although there is a gorilla cart available to transfer your stuff, it is a bit of an uphill/downhill affair over a minimum of 50 yards, And possibly 200 yards, over pasture-like terrain from the parking spot to your site. It took us several trips just for two people, so be aware, you are not going to just drive up to your spot. All of the spots are across the pond from the owners home.
Lee is friendly, and a great host, who works hard at keeping the pond in good shape.
We used the little paddle boat to explore the pond, and had a great time doing it. My son and I each pulled out several tiny bass just a few steps from our camping spot. It was great too.
That said, I can tell you there is a VERY popular firing range nearby. It opens at 7:30 in the morning, and closes at around 10 PM.
Also nearby, are about 75 nocturnal roosters, who crow in unison, continually. Finally, is what sounds like two or three German shepherds nearby who bark at the roosters for crowing. We still had a great time, but we will stick to the state parks in the future.
