Wake up to the chirping of birds and a beautiful sunrise! Bald Eagles and Great Blue Heron are seen sometimes! Take a stroll along the river, go to the pond to go swimming, or relax on the beach! Gaze at the starry heavens and fall asleep to the sounds of the night! There are three sites to choose from: plus we have 3 Cabins The Cardinals Nest - A charming whimsical off-grid cabin that sits on a hill and is close to the river! Riverview seasonal sites - Near a pond for swimming with a sandy beach, great for longer-term stays. River Overlook - 4 ppl per site 5 spacious sites overlooking the Maitland River and several sites in a large open area, a great place for kids to explore

We love this small campground where my cat can run free. We feel very safe. We love swimming in the pond and watching the abundance of wildlife on the Maitland River. Thanks for a safe and wonderful experience. We will be back!

Camping with the better half
Tent camping was breathtaking in so many ways, the swimming pond was really nice, the beach could use a bit of maintenance, the campsites were nice with provided table and fire pit. We enjoyed the fantastic views and overall just enjoyed the experience. The host didn’t greet us when we arrived or at all for our two night stay, which is fine but it would have been nice to get some information about trails and such

Perfect Camping
My family loved this camping trip. We could only stay for one Saturday night as I had to work Sunday night, but I booked 2 nights so we could stay until sunset the next day. It was so good to be out in the farm. The shallow river at one side, the corn farm to the other. We stayed up until 3am with soft music and bonfire. There was only 1 other group camped next to the pond. And that’s it. It was very private. Bernice was so kind to give us 4 jugs of water for washing. We brought our own drinking water. My kids stayed and played at the pond the next day. It’s deep in the middle so they stayed only at the beach building sandcastles. They have portapotties, which were very clean. We got firewood from a house at the nearest intersection. Use Google maps for precise location. Apple maps showed us to a different site.

Beautiful spot with everything you need. Private and secluded with good separation from main house - particularly since we were the only campers there for the night. Easy to access, clear instructions, felt like we had the help if we needed it without being imposed upon. Would be a great spot for a group to camp together. 10/10 we will be back.

We camped next to the falls, it was peaceful. The only complaint is the lack of signage to get were you're going.
