“Cannonball camp is amazing, the campsite sits right on the water with access to an awesome dock perfect for cannonballs. The site had tons of space for our group and at night the stars were an incredible site. We will definitely be returning here for future camping trips with our group.”

Abuelo Camp

“Abuelo camp faces south east. Perfectly located to enjoy the milky way at night, leave your rainfly out and sleep under the stars on a warm summer night.”

Squirrel Acres

“The open meadow is great for stargazing from your tent.”

Irish Creek Camp

“The quiet land was a nice choice to relax and spend the night at. Also, the land was an awesome spot to look at the clear sky and the stars.”

Organic Farm Retreat

“It’s in the foothills so bring some bug spray, but also be sure to turn off all your camp lights at some point during the night – the stars are incredible.”
