Adventurous, But Dog Barking Issues
This site was amazing and a lot of fun for a family of young kids. We had a lot of fun experiencing mining for geodes and fossils while also adventuring through the creek. We found geodes and fossils within 1hour of getting to the site! We probably would have sprang for the geode bucket bundle though. The owner seemed really nice. We would have had a lot more fun, but the one main issue of dogs barking, was out of control. We didn’t get to stay long enough to ask what the issue is or if we could do anything about it. I’m not sure if there is even a City Ordinance in place for that. The dogs were barking from the moment we arrived around 5pm, and they didn’t stop until about 4am! It was so loud and incessant, there were barely any breaks in it which makes us feel like the dogs were left outside all night. We didn’t go see where the noise was coming from, but it was pretty obnoxious. We would love to come back on the condition of there being a City Ordinance that could help to fix the issue. We had a dog with us, and luckily it didn’t trigger him. But most of us got barely any sleep due to it.

A natural escape within the city
This was a great pit stop that I booked same day. You get a surprising amount of isolation from the bustle of the curry life nearby. We saw a deer, found a geode, and enjoyed walking by the stream.

Awesome place to camp right off the river. Hope to be staying again sometime soon.

Private creekside location
Really neat site along a shallow creek (with a small waterfall for that extra special touch). The site is well treed for shade and additional privacy. Hard to imagine it’s an in town location. There were a few barking dogs and ‘city’ sounds, but didn’t take away from the privacy. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot! We had the place to ourselves at the end of December. Area was clean and well cared for. Johnny is a nice guy, easy to get ahold of and follows through on what he says. Thanks!

Off the grid campground. No facilities. Make preparations for that.
Preordered firewood and it was delivered to my campsite.
