My husband and I went last minute and it was an amazing experience and mini getaway that we both needed! Very friendly and helpful through our whole visit! We loved all the animals and seclusion! There is also a wonderful fishing spot not far! We will definitely be coming back and can't wait to take our son! This place is by far one of the best and favorites through all our years of camping!

Beautiful property!!!

Bobbi and her helper George were very accommodating! I booked last minute and they made it work. We just needed a place to stay, passing through for the night. They had a nice spot where I didn’t even have to unhook our rv. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL country there! The horses are gorgeous and the dogs are super friendly. We took home some free, fresh eggs from their chickens too! Bobbi genuinely cares about making sure your time was well spent and that you had a good time. We did have one incident and Bobbi made sure that all was taken care of, when most would have just blown someone off. I highly recommend to book your next camping trip here, even if it is just for a night when you’re passing through!
