Rod's campsite offers campers breathtaking views and a serene setting, making it a memorable spot for those who appreciate nature's beauty. Many visitors rave about the stunning sunrises and sunsets, with panoramic vistas that include vibrant fall colors and starry nights. While the site is praised for its privacy and peacefulness, some reviews mention challenges with wind exposure and tent staking on the rocky ground. Overall, the campsite is highly recommended for its views and tranquility, with the added bonus of blueberry picking during certain seasons.

Rods land was very beautiful. A perfect spot to spend the weekend. Rod was very friendly and took us on a tour of the property to scout out some of the other good camping spots he has on his land. We had a wonderful time and would recommend staying here.

Best Campsite in North America

16 ft car

After a decade of camping across North America, this is by far the nicest campsite I’ve ever stayed! The fall colours were in full display, with vibrant reds from the blueberry fields and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and hills - absolutely breathtaking! Both the sunrise and sunset were stunning and made for unforgettable moments. The campsite itself was very clean and well-kept, which added to the overall experience. Could not recommend this place more - it’s a must visit for any camping enthusiast!

Beautiful spot, nice and private. Loved the fire pit and picnic table. We couldn’t really stake our tent down and were pretty exposed to the wind but other than that had a great time!
