Animal Sanctuary at the Lake

We stayed in a 33ft tt David was great helping getting in the spot and was very patient and welcoming. He helped us get level and acquainted with the spot. David's wife was amazing with our kids and the animals. Our kids had a blast feeding the animals and hearing about how she came to adopt each one. Even after the tour she invited our girls to help her feed the animals and included them in everything. There is a lake nearby and calhoun falls state park. There is a cute dog park with fencing a macaw that talks. All and all no complaints the hosts were great and they love There animals and have a real passion for what they do!

Animal Sanctuary at the Lake

Davis was a very nice host and has a good setup. Water and power hookups and easily accessible dump station. We loved looking at the farm animals and our days floating in the lake.

Animal Sanctuary at the Lake

Not great for tent camping

I wouldn't recommend this place for tent camping. The hosts are nice, but it seems to be more geared towards RVs. Nothing much special about the limited primitive camping spots, but the animals on the property are interesting.

Safe Location

Felt safe. Lovely rural location. Farm animals would be of interest to kids (and adults). Might recommend a little more structure / guidance around checkin and campsite set up. I believe the site had flushing toilets .. but did not find them. Upon arrival I had a difficult time finding someone to guide me. What turned out to be another camper showed me where to park. I had only planned one night .. however, If I had planned more than that I would have left early due to the loud, inebriated camper next to me -- with little regard for personal boundary/space.
