I loved this camp site and hope to have a large family event there. The area is remote, clean, and extremely well equipped. They have a large cooking area with every mode of cooking, eg. gas burners, stoves, grills large and small, plus bbqs using wood or gas. There are large bathrooms and 2 large showers. The camp sites are spaced out very well and the glamping tents are wonder. The pond is huge and beautiful. Each nite a large flock of geese came in, what a delight! At night the stars were amazing. Each night we heard coyotes howling from afar. We will be returning, as this spot is an oasi…
This location was amazing! We were hoping for a campground to help us see the stars, and this site did not disappoint. Mind-blowing beautiful view of the stars. Nice amenities like hot showers and clean bathrooms. Amazing fire pit was worth the additional fee. We highly recommend and will be coming back!
Absolutely stunning views in this remote, welcoming ranch! The hosts were absolutely wonderful- offered us tips on weather & how to use their BBQs/built in kitchen area. We LOVED canoeing around the pond, playing horseshoe, and lounging. The fire pit was worth every penny for evening smores!
Great stay. Lovely pond and my young children had the best time with the boats. Very clean bathrooms and hot showers. Lovely bird life - red winged blackbirds, Canada geese nesting, coots, great horned owls. Loved the communal kitchen. Lots of space and quite remote.
I had such a great time at this location. I happened to have it all to myself. It was so peaceful and lovely. Would def recommend.
