Spacious private property and the sites are excellent! The host was kind, knowledgeable, timely, and caring. We experienced some bad weather overnight and Bryan came by to check on us in the morning to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying here next time we’re in the area!

I would highly recommend this beautiful site to any campers looking for a great weekend under the stars, camping and plenty of activities, such as kayaking, Paddle boarding, gem mining and a lot more. Also they had the cutest animals on site goats and turtle ! Definitely will be back if weather permits soon ! Bryan and Amanda thank you so much for letting us stay and helping us during our stay.

This was a great spot with a friendly welcome from Bryan. The kayaking was wonderful and it was peaceful. We liked the sounds of the train.

We enjoyed staying at this site, even though I totally overlooked it being by train tracks!! It still gave us safari feels tho! I was expecting a lion or giraffe to come out of the bushes at any moment lol!! The trains do come fairly often! The horn is the worse part lol but it didn’t ruin the vibe at all! We just needed a night away from the city! I would absolutely stay again to explore more of the area!
