Edge of Town Oasis

This was a beautiful location. Close enough to town to be convienent but far enough out to be quiet and secluded. The site is well cared for and nicely laid out. They have a troupe of ducks and geese to entertain you as well. We recommend this for a peaceful stay.

The Mighty Oak Tree

First Camping with Just Mom & Crew

The host was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout our stay. The grounds were well-kept, portable toilets in private tents were clean and ready to use with toilet paper and hand sanitizer in the tents, and morning feeding of the ducks/geese/chickens/turkeys/peacocks was fun for my kids and myself. Great first experience at camping.

The Mighty Oak Tree

The campsite was exactly what we needed. The hosts were super accomodating and told us everything we needed to know. Also there were apple trees they let us pick off!

Conifers and Pine Cones

Lovely site, very private and quiet, with a very hospitable host and adorable ducks. Easy to find and access, with wood on site which made starting a fire terrifically easy
