Beautiful gem! The owner is the sweetest man!! Surrounded by trees, wildlife, and fields & cow pastures in the distance! The bath house was the cleanest we have stayed at! Unfortunately we only stayed one night as we are just passing through but I would recommend this site to anyone! It was quiet and peaceful, well worth the stay for being a bit off the beaten path! Pet friendly and kid friendly! My 1 year old had lots of places to run and explore, even had a playground area! 🩵 We enjoyed the stay and plan to come back next time we are in the area! Even saw a few endangered species of birds!

It's a very good place to stop and pitch a tent for a while. Very peaceful and quiet. The staff are top notch and there are good fishing spots within a 10 minute drive. Wi-fi is consistent and working. Feels like the camping trips back when I was a kid.
