Hill Country Camping

This was a great property to stay at. I was there for 6 night with my dad and it was so nice having heat and AC both in the cabin. There is a water hook up that worked great with the portable shower I brought. John was great to communicate with the entire time I was there.

Great weekend spot

We had a great time camping here! The camp stove and picnic tables were really great, the tables were spread around the camp area for easy use. Nolas cabin was a lovely area for my kids to relax in with some protection from our chilly overnight temps! Extra add-on eggs and firewood made meal planning and campfires a breeze. Thank you for a lovely weekend!!

Bear pond is great. The gas stove and cabin are great additions since our last stay. Would always recommend to those considering a stay.

Great dry stay in the cabin

We had a great time at John's place. It is very quiet with maybe 6 cars going down the road while we were there. It rained all night and we stayed dry in the cabin. We brought air mattresses but did not need them due to the comfy memory foam beds. We will definitely come back next fall.and maybe later this year.

Great property.

Nice, secluded, developing property. Heard lots of wildlife and enjoyed the star filled sky. The host is super responsive and the property was just as described. Nice little getaway!

Recommend!

Great spot! The spigot, port-a-pot, and firewood on site were very convenient. Loved the fresh eggs available for purchase. The pond was nice - fish were biting but they were small. Adams Lake and Miller’s (Amish) are also nearby!
