    Lovely quiet area
    Tent · With pets
    Such a nice quiet space with ample amount of room as you have the whole site to yourself. The dogs loved playing ball on the freshly mowed grass and swimming in the very refreshing creek 🥶 I’ll be adding this spot to our rotation. Hosts are very easy to talk to and happy to answer your 100 questions (maybe that’s just me)

    We had the best time staying here with our 3 kids! Heidi and Mike were great hosts and we felt very lucky that they opened up their perfect little campsite by the creek for us to stay. Campsite was perfect, grassy bottom, shady trees, creek access, very safe for young kids, beautiful wildlife and plenty of firewood! It was like pressing the reset button on life! Which is just what we needed. Thanks again we will be back!
