Beautiful, private property!
My husband & I spent the most wonderful 3 day weekend on Loren’s land. It was private & peaceful surrounded by trees. The highlight of our weekend was sitting around the campfire on Saturday afternoon and directly above us were 5 bald eagles flying around. Nature at its best! Loren was a wonderful host & we will definitely be returning!

Beautiful, peaceful, and wonderful.
This location is a diamond. You get to have a peaceful location and lots of room to yourself. Near a river. Lots of little critters. And full hook ups. As long as you are good with backing in, you won’t be disappointed at all with this camp spot.

Very private, peaceful location. Close to highway access and not far from "civilization", but far enough that you can pretend you're out in the wilderness. Nice to have full hookups and good water pressure. Lots of wildlife, birds singing in the morning, bunnies hopping about all day. Close to the river.

Beautiful wooded site with well kept grounds surrounding a secluded flat raised pad with all the services. Great to sit outside and be one with the deer, birds, and bunnies, although the mosquitoes were ferocious. A short walk down a gravel road is old man river garlanded with wildflowers.

Great spot and easy to pull into. Close drive to the state park from the campground. The wildlife and birds in the mornings are wonderful to wake up to. Only a few steps away from the creek and great for the dogs to run around in!
