I cancelled the reservation because there were no services. I wrote to the host about getting a refund, but I am still waiting for a answer.

Weird spot
It definitely has potential but definitely don’t recommend and the description should tell you that you that you have to drive a over grown path to get anywhere definitely not tenter friendly the grass was so tall couldn’t put a tent anywhere and you also had to pay 10$ to use the bathroom host was super friendly but not worth the money we left and found somewhere else to camp

Super hip camping
Kevin's camping place was real open and private. It was also super close to the Cabot trail which was handy for us. The pathway to get there was a bit tricky as there were some swampy areas, so make sure not to go off the pathway. The bugs were not the best, but Kevin plans to do more property maintenance in the future will likely help. We didn't utilize the showers or electricity by the (regular, not 30 Amp for our trailer) because we preferred the privacy instead. Much appreciated and worked for us, but maybe not for everyone. Super hip though. Thanks p

Not worth the price
The place seems great for the hostel, but really not ideal for camping outside. There's only a little rock firepit and it was on another tent site that was occupied, there was not picnic tables anywhere and not a single tree for the shade. If you want access to the showers and indoor kitchen you got to pay 20$ more, and 5$ more if you want wifi. Overall, I don't think it was worth it for the price. The owner was nice and I hope he can upgrade the place to make it better for camping in tents.
