Carol's campsite offers a serene escape into nature, providing a peaceful and secluded experience just close enough for convenience. Guests frequently praise the host, Carol, for her welcoming and helpful nature, making the stay even more enjoyable. Wildlife sightings, such as deer and birds, add to the charm, while well-maintained trails offer exploration opportunities.

This place is an absolute DREAM! Carol's campsite in the woods was just isolated enough to provide privacy and a real camp feeling, while also being close enough to the house and cars to be convenient. The woods are full of deer (we saw fawns every morning we were there!), birds, squirrels, turtles, and rabbits. At night, the fireflies make the woods light up like Christmas, it's absolutely magical. Carol was so friendly and helpful during our stay, she was sincerely so sweet and kind! I cannot recommend this place enough, it's the perfect getaway! We camped with our two cats and rabbit and even they loved it! Definitely hope to come back in the future!

Carolzy’ Secret Garden
The host is incredibly nice and was accomdating. I thought that we would be more in the woods for our site. In order to have electricity, we had to use two of our extension cords to tap in to her electricity and set up camp right next to her house. The yard is filled with all kinds of equipment and what I thought was trash. But, it could be treasure. Depends on how you view things. Super nice but we're camping next to a attached to the house garage filled with a collection of items. Water access was also inside the garage. The tub/faucet was not easy to access and had a dead rodent above the spigot. Kinda a turnoff

it was fine for a late night sleep and early departure if you’re in an rv. However, if you arrive at night make sure you bring a flashlight because there are no lights guiding the driveway where you need to park. Also, the electricity didn’t work and the water hookup was nearly non existent.
