We had a good time camping on Ed's land. He was very accommodating and gave us choices of where we wanted to stay. Porta-potty on property and filtered water! It was quiet and his dogs were extra friendly.

Edwin was so flexible and accommodating! The land was easy to find and very peaceful. We only planned to stay one night but stayed two nights to enjoy Edwin’s beautiful property. Would certainly recommend!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the sanctuary. It was very peaceful with the all the animals. Porta potty on site was a nice touch. I would come back for sure. Thanks
