[hipcamp aggregate summary]
What a perfectly serene spot — Camp Chester was a home away from home for our long weekend and was exactly what my wife and I (plus our three dogs!) needed. Jackie was an excellent and communicative host as well. We will absolutely be coming back soon.
This is probably one of the best vacation spots I’ve been to, and I’ve camped and traveled all over the US. The feeling of peace and tranquility was unparalleled to anything I’ve experienced, they’ve truly made a magical camping experience. The hosts are kind, attentive and you can just tell they do this to share their little piece of heaven with the world. 10/10, can’t wait to come back!
Exactly as advertised, and more I had a fantastic time in one of the cabins with my dog and would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks for the amazing space (and cookies :) )
This place was awesome!! It was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog.
Laurie’s land was amazing. The outdoor kitchen with running water and the outdoor bathroom was a true highlight! Clawfoot tub and star gazing is the way to go. Fenced in yard was perfect for our Great Dane. highly recommended!
