The camp was great and the view of the lake was very nice. It felt very private yet was close to town if you need anything. There was some road noise but it’s not very busy

Beautiful campsite yards from the water. One of the most private feeling sites I have used on Hipcamp. I highly recommend and will likely return myself.

We really enjoyed camping in our fifth wheel on Neils's land. The view of the pond is great, it's peaceful and quiet. Amazing stargazing at night also. We will definitely camp here again.

Amazing Getaway!

Tent · Group trip

Neil's place is beautiful, peaceful, and engaging. From enjoying food and conversations around a campfire or drifting lazily on the water in an inflatable, this location has something for everyone. Neil is extremely accommodating and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this site and will be visiting again in the near future!
