Loved camping on the island. Felt like a secluded piece of land you can call your fortress. There’s an Out-house with a convenient Wooden walk-way. The sound of the river splashing gives a nature vibe and helped me with sleeping. The bridge was a cool little spot to watch the water, and the gazebo was the perfect spot to cook your fresh farm eggs they provide for a small price. Definitely worth it!

Pet friendly!

Hubrecht’s private camping ground is beautiful! There’s a cute little bridge you walk over to get to the camping ground and it’s not far from where you park your car. Your camping ground is like a cute little island with a stream of water going all around the camping site which is so nice to listen and wake up to. This location is also private with tress and bushes all around you. I would definitely recommend this place.

It was a great and private camp site! The host was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely come back here again for a weekend get away. Thank you!

Paradise

Tent

Me, my husband and our pup had the most magical experience at Hubrecht’s campsite. It is secluded and private, and we we’re surrounded by such beautiful nature - stream, birds, trees, flowers. We felt we were in our own little paradise “island” away from the rest of the world. Our pup had the time of his life dipping himself in the stream as he pleased. Hubrecht took good care of us and made sure we had everything needed. The eggs were delicious. Thank you for allowing us to re-set and experience this beautiful place. Would recommend it 100 times over.

Wonderful private campsite. Waking up to the sound of the birds and the creek was amazing.
