10 acres hosted by Carol W.

1 RV site · 2 tent sites

Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

Carolzy’ Secret Garden

The host is incredibly nice and was accomdating. I thought that we would be more in the woods for our site. In order to have electricity, we had to use two of our extension cords to tap in to her electricity and set up camp right next to her house. The yard is filled with all kinds of equipment and what I thought was trash. But, it could be treasure. Depends on how you view things. Super nice but we're camping next to a attached to the house garage filled with a collection of items. Water access was also inside the garage. The tub/faucet was not easy to access and had a dead rodent above the spigot. Kinda a turnoff

In and Out

it was fine for a late night sleep and early departure if you’re in an rv. However, if you arrive at night make sure you bring a flashlight because there are no lights guiding the driveway where you need to park. Also, the electricity didn’t work and the water hookup was nearly non existent.

A magical, relaxing property!

I can’t say enough great things about Carol and her magical property! She is the perfect host. Her property is so peaceful and welcoming… perfect for short or long term stays. Do not hesitate to book your stay with Carol, you will not regret it!

What a wonderful host! She was so much fun to talk to and welcomed us like family. The site was great and the animals there were a special touch.
