Stephen showed us to the site. he explained the camping site was a little messy from the storms but it wasn't a deterrent for us. the camping area was private and was in front of a creek. when we went, there was no bugs. we enjoyed camping between the corn fields and the creek. would definitely come back!!

Had a great time camping with the family! We had 13 people tent camping for 2 nights. We did a canoe trip from Penrose to the campsite. We would've gone on down to Lazy Otter the next day, but it was going to rain hard.

This was my second time staying here and I can’t wait to go back! It’s an awesome campsite right on the river with a great host. I love that it’s secluded and not extremely close to any houses like other places we have stayed. The outhouse was clean and stocked with TP in case you forgot yours!

Toilets are very bad , basic should be available . They charged more . We paid $65 per night but no proper toilet and no water no shower nothing is available. At least they should reduce the price .
