Hybrid of Rustic/Glamping for 1ster

We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend camping at Robin's site! This was my boyfriend’s first time ever camping, and it couldn’t have been better. The site provided just the right amount of privacy, and Robin and her son showed incredible hospitality throughout our stay. The indoor bathroom facility was immaculate, giving us the perfect blend of rustic and modern camping vibes. The fishing was also great! Robin’s three dogs were very friendly and lively, but she was prompt in putting them up when we wanted some quiet time around the campfire, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this site for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Tent/Small Camper Trail Head Dock

Robin was a great host! She came out to introduce herself, gave us a little tour, and taught us about poison ivy so we would know what to look for. She also took note of things we liked to do and gave us suggestions of things in the area. They had wood provided, offered farm fresh eggs, and fishing opportunities galore! At night, it was almost as dark the dark sky parks we've been to for beautiful night sky viewing. The paddle boat was also fun to take around the lake. Very gracious host, very beautiful property, and a very relaxing stay. We are hoping to stay again soon!

Beautiful private lake

First time campers so this was perfect for us. Robin warmly greeted us as we pulled in and made us feel very welcomed. She recommended a beautiful spot for our tent. We enjoyed fishing, using the paddle boat, the trail, having our own campfire with wood generously provided and looking at the beautiful lake. The homestead is just lovely and there’s been a lot of time and care invested into the property. The experience was fantastic. Highly recommend. Robin was on site and seemed to know just when to lend a hand. But we didn’t feel like we were being watched. Very private. There was some traffic noise but it was Saturday night and it didn’t diminish our stay. Great location 5 mins from gas and Dollar General.

Tent/Small Camper Trail Head Dock

Touch of Serenity

Right on the water, with a dock and a very nice paddle boat available for our use. There was shady areas throughout the day except maybe for a couple hours when the sun was highest. Lots of large mouth bass. Plump bGills. Bathroom and shower were available for use, but we didn’t use it. We’re just not the type to approach someone’s home. Feels intrusive lol but we’re fine with rustic anyway. Garbage can available got use was nice. I feel bad about leaving fish remains in it. Hiking trail was quite nice although needs slight upkeep. Portage river so close by. Convenient location to several towns. Site was close to the home but far enough that we felt we did have privacy- which was really cool. The owners both seemed like great people. The nature sounds at night were in perfect symphony. We had a screen roof so we slept under a perfect view of the stars. Our purpose there was to just get away from home for a short while, and this place really hit the spot!
