Tent Site 1 - Grp camp for up to 10

Wayne and his wife were super sweet and attentive. The land was beautiful and I made besties with a horse and a dog. The river was beautiful and the bathroom and drinking water was a luxury that us camping girls aren't used to! Wayne made sure after a down pour we had wood that would light even when wet and we felt super taken care of! So much fun and such a pretty area! 10/10

RV Site 3

The great: Wayne is very accommodating and will talk at length about recommendations for local sites to see and routes to take. The swimming hole is absolutely beautiful. It's private and pristine with chairs, a table, and cooler provided by the host! Wayne is just getting started and this place has a lot of potential -- with some extras provided at the site as well. The resident horse is also very friendly. This is an exquisite spot for tent and van campers, or a smaller off-road friendly rig. The less-than-great for big rigs: The 5 mile road into the site is not suitable for a big rig. It is a winding, single-lane road with unpaved areas and steep grades. It is so overgrown towards the end that your truck and trailer will receive what I call "Appalachian pin stripes" from the blackberry vines. Thankfully there's not much traffic, but I did run into 3vehicles coming the opposite way. For context I have a 28 ft bumper pull towed with a Chevy 2500. It gets narrower as you get closer. You will also want to have 4 wheel drive to get in/out of the entrance, it is steep and soft/sandy. I needed 4WD and I also scrapped the guards on the bottom of my rig coming out. Lastly, the conduit used to provide the hook ups is really meant to be buried, not unwound and re-wound the way it's currently set up according to my boyfriend (works in trades). It did fine for us. There's room for more than one rig, but there's only water/power hookups for one.
