Loved my mini tent camping adventure. Was really close to the city, but far enough away to get into the woods. It was really nice to have a rustic location all by yourself. "Supply tent" had dry wood, board games, and other essentials. I forgot a pot to boil water and borrowed one from there. John was great with communication on where to park and if we needed anything. There are very few places like this around. If you stay here, please don't ruin it for everyone else and leave a mess or break anything. I plan to take my family back here again!

Great weekend! Extremely well setup and thought through with a supply tent with anything you might have forgot or need. Lighting around the site is amazing. Great location, close to stores and activities.
