Woodside campsite was secluded and quiet. Rob is very nice and greets you on arrival. Live music on Saturday in Rob’s backyard was a bonus. We will def be staying with Rob again if we are in the area.

Very near the Ghost Town Rail Trail

We had a wonderful time camping at Robert and Sally's place. Our site had a picnic table, fire ring and a stack of firewood. It was a quiet and peaceful place. We drove just a few miles to Twin Rocks and parked at the Ghost Town trail head to bicycle. We had a great time.

Excellent Hosts, enjoyed my stay. Off grid, but not off grid at the same time. Fifteen minutes or so to get anything you need . Great trails for moderate hikes close by.

Must stay

We are so happy we chose to stay at woodside. Robert and Sally made us feel at home by sharing their beautiful property, ideas on places to eat and their special musical talent. Robert met us on arrival and invited us to their jam session later in the evening with their friends which was the perfect end to our trip. Sally reminded me that the flight 93 memorial was a short 50 minute drive from their property, so we visited it the following day. We highly recommend the memorial if you have time. We didn’t plan on spending over 2 hours there, but there is so much to see, hear about and remember. Thanks again for making our trip so memorable!
