Nestled off a quaint country dirt road, this campsite offers a serene and private escape with ample space for groups or families. The soothing sounds of a nearby stream promise restful nights, while spacious grounds accommodate both relaxation and recreation. A standout feature is the large covered pavilion, perfect for meals or shelter during rain, alongside a massive fire pit that sets the stage for memorable evenings. While clean amenities are a plus, guests should be prepared for some local spider visitors in the restroom.

Very private and well taken care of. The owners are super sweet and accommodating and the restroom was clean. I loved being on the water. Plus the fire pit is huge!

Gorgeous private campground with tons of space right off a small country dirt road. We enjoyed sleeping next to the running stream and got some of the best sleep ever. Fire pit is huge and it was nice to have covered seating in case of rain. Bathroom was very clean but beware if you’re afraid of spiders there were a lot. Our camp host was wonderful and had some wood for sale! Would definitely come back with more people since it was so big

We loved staying here! Quiet, secluded, and the rushing river made for a great night’s sleep. Be ready to share the restroom with some local spiders.
Chris went above and beyond and was a fantastic host. We hope to be back soon.

What a great spot! Secluded, clean, beautiful. The sounds of the creek help you feel isolated. Covered picnic tables were nice during the morning rain. We will absolutely stay here again!
