McCully Heritage Project Levee
Wonderful private nature retreat!
We had a wonderful stay that he Levee site. Felt like we had 900 beautiful acres all to ourselves for two nights with our two bulldogs. Had a great morning hike and afternoon. Picnic in the gazebo by the pond turned into an afternoon of leisure enjoying the sites and sounds of nature. Shower rooms were impressive and a welcome treat after a day in the woods. Slept to the sounds of birds, crickets and frogs….”priceless!”

Watkin's Place at McCully
Secluded getaway
The Watkins cabin was a perfect refuge on the way down to see the Solar eclipse. It was Super secluded and the giant tree in the yard just a foot or 2 from the back porch was breathtaking. We saw and heard so many birds. We definitely plan on going back to do some of the trails! <3

What a great experience. They were very responsive to a day-of reservation and instructions were very clear. I didn't use the firewood provided, but what an excellent perk to be available. Restroom/shower facilities were clean and info provided nearby gave plenty of info about the property. The property is gorgeous and the Levee site is perfect for a camper van. Highly recommend and I really hope to visit again.
