Ed's campsite offers a relaxing escape with a unique touch of farm life. Campers consistently mention the peaceful atmosphere, friendly animals like goats and geese, and accommodating hosts. While most enjoy the animal interactions, some mention the unpredictability of farm noises and the need to navigate a few muddy patches. Overall, it's a refreshing spot to unwind and enjoy nature's company.

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!
