Needs some work.

Kindling would’ve been nice with the firewood. We had to leave in the evening to get some from a nearby grocery store. Also, rubber gloves would’ve been useful for the “wag bag” disposal.

Private, little wonderland!

Tent

The site was well-equipped for our two-night stay. Very private from the home. Hosts were friendly, and responded quickly to questions pre-stay. Site is a little smaller than anticipated, was a little snug for my teen and I with our senior dog. Distance to take items from parking area to site is soft, hilly grass. May be difficult if you have mobility issues. There weren't any snuffers for the torches, so use cautiously. The tree frogs, chipmunks, owls, and other wildlife made for a fun and remote-feeling spot. Would happily stay again.

We liked Esther's camping site! My husband, my doggie and I haven't camp for a while and we have a new furbaby that never been either. This tent site was a nice intro to him and ease us back into it!
