Woodsy Campsite
This was a fine place to stay for the night. The space for a tent is small (my two-person tent was a squeeze) and the walk to it is over slippery tarp. At night, the pathway and camping area gets very dark. There were many mosquitoes (there’s a pond). Jessica offered me coffee in the morning, but my visit and shower felt received as if it was an inconvenience. Maybe it was just a bad day, but Jessica was not the friendliest host.

Fun Solo Camping Adventure!
I stayed at the Woodsy campsite at Jessica’s house, and I loved it! I came for a nice solo camping trip to relax and unwind for a long weekend and hike at Maquoketa Caves. This spot was perfect for me, and I really enjoyed meeting Jessica and learning more about her homesteading. She is very friendly and offered suggestions about things to do close by. She was very responsive to my messages and made sure I had everything I needed. As a woman, I felt very safe camping here on my own which made the overall trip more enjoyable. I bought some tea and soap too from her and love it! I am definitely coming back to camp here again; I would highly recommend this site and also recommend trying some of her homemade goods!

Jessica was friendly and made sure any request we had was met. She responded back to messages in a timely manner and gave us some ideas to do in Bellevue. The location was great and the house and yard surrounding it was very cute and old time feel. Would definitely stay again!

Cute place to stay
Cute place! Jessica was lovely! We didn’t have time for any of the tours she offers but I bet that would have been fun. We did get the brats. They were delicious! Trails on the land had poison ivy so we didn’t use them. And heads up, the area only fits a tent of 4ppl!!! Did not know that until we were well into our drive. Our 6p tent was too big but we found a way to make it work. I did like the spot overall

Homestead and hammer on the hill
Jessica and Pete where kind hosts with a lovely house on the hill at the edge of town. Enjoyed an outside shower after dark with a band playing hotel California off in the distance. Benders grocery store is 4 mins from the house. Good selection of groceries. Enjoy the small town energy and walk Jessica's gardens
