What a cool place if you're truly in to primitive camping. A high circle of ground looking over the water. Plenty of wildlife. The fire pit was just fine, dug it out a bit and reset the stone as it's still winter and hadn't been used. I did end up sleeping in the car because it was too cold for the tent. I was prepared for either scenario. Definitely need AWD or 4x4 to drive in. Trains were not an issue, sitting by the fire or sleeping. I'd definitely go back again.

My first time winter camping and Katie's property was perfect for it! So much wildlife even in the winter: deer, coyotes, turkeys, etc. Can't wait to go back again soon!

Beautiful, secluded sight with short walk to river. Deer, turkeys, geese and all different types of birds. I’ve been here before and will come again!

Serenity
Loved tent camping here! So serene and plenty of area to walk through nature. The host was very nice and showed us around the site so we knew the area. Beautiful view of the stars too! Great place to recharge :)

An incredible spot
An incredible space. Of the 3 campgrounds, one rises above the rest. Quiet, secluded and along the River. Was truly incredible.

Always an amazing time here! We were visited by wild turkey, 2 bald eagles soaring over camp, deer and even a frog down by the river! A great day in the woods and Katie is a very welcoming host!
