Camping with the Dogs – A Peaceful
Tent · With pets
Our recent stay at this private campground was nothing short of amazing. The well-spaced sites provided great privacy, and the beautifully maintained surroundings made us feel truly immersed in nature. With a slight overlooking view, the scenery was stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. Debbie was excellent at communication, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience It was a perfect, peaceful escape—just the sounds of nature and our happy dogs enjoying their walks around the camp. Highly recommended for those seeking a serene, pet-friendly camping experience!

Had a very relaxed overnight stay in heatwave conditions. Being high the property has some air movement which was great, and only being 20 minutes from Wiseman's Ferry allowed us to go for a swim in a dog friendly park. Debbie is an amazing host, prompt to reply to messages and was checking in that all was OK during our stay. The sites are private, grounds are well maintained for off-the grid style camping, we will come back in winter and have a fire to sit by!
