The land is pretty, and seeing all of the deer on the way up and on the land was amazing. We were there in the fall, so there was a male keeping an eye on us and occasionally making some noise, but he mostly kept away. He came as far as the path just outside the campsite.
The river was a bit hard to get to because we couldn’t find a path, but we did make it. On the way back, I had to use my phone so we made it back to the right spot. It was an adventure! Even being low, the river was nice.
The only complaint I have is that you are much closer to other houses than I expected, so you could hear the dogs from, at least, 3 different houses. Not a fault of the owner at all. I felt pretty bad for the dogs, though, because they barked all night long which meant they were out all night in really cold weather.
You can also see lights from some of the houses and hear the occasional car. I think it would be quieter in the summer when the trees have more leaves.
Overall, for our very first camping trip, it went well. I felt very safe because of the lock on the gate, and I think I would come back if we ever decide to camp again.
