Camp Parking - Horse & Lake View
Highly recommend
I spent the perfect weekend camping with my friends at Jeremy’s campground. We saw the most amazing moonrise, kayaked in the lake at night and during the day.

Camp Parking - Horse & Lake View
Magical nights & Blissful mornings!
Our stay at Jeremy & Michelle's lake site was absolutely magical. Watching the moon rise and sun set over the lake was an unforgettable experience. The serene surroundings and breathtaking views made it the perfect escape from the city. Even though it was our first camping trip, we felt right at home thanks to the warm welcome and helpful tips. We slept soundly and were only woken up by the cheerful sounds of nature. Thank you for creating such a peaceful and memorable retreat. We'll definitely be back!

The Lake View Tree House
Glamping
The treehouse was so fun with the kids. The view is beautiful and it was fun seeing the animals and gathering eggs in the morning. Their sweet dog loves to show you around and plays. It is dusty so be prepared for that, like camping. Enjoy the day at the lake! The hammock was a nice touch too, big enough to hang on with the kids.

The Lake View Tree House
Peace and Quiet & Stargazing!
Had a great stay in the Tree Haus. The views are amazing during the day, and stargazing in the recliners on the deck at night was incredible. The outdoor shower with a view was also great. The animals were a huge plus especially for our toddler who loved them all. The dogs are friendly and a horse even stopped by the picnic table during breakfast to say hi. When we stayed it was over 100 degrees (in October!) and the AC unit did a decent job keeping the Tree Haus around 80 degrees from 12-3 which was just cool enough for our little one to catch a nap. We escaped to Prospect 772's tasting room to wait out the rest of the heat of the day. Great wine and only 5min away. Nights were quite comfortable and the sleeping situation was great. The walk to and from the lake is not short - it takes ~15 minutes to get there from the treehaus and a bit longer back (uphill). That said, the reward of a cool swim was worth the effort and we had a nice picnic there. The worst part of our stay was the dust, which I imagine is a non issue during other seasons. The dust stuck to our feet and legs like crazy. We ended up keeping a wet towel handy to wipe our feet and legs before going into the treehaus and it was fine. Just something to be aware of if it's hot and dry when you go, you will get very dusty walking anywhere outside. All in all we had a great time. We got exactly the break we needed here.

The Painted Tents
We had an amazing weekend at the campsite with my wife and our dog! Despite the heat, we made the most of it by kayaking and cooling off in the lake. One of the highlights was feeding the farm animals—it was such a unique experience! Jeremy was an outstanding host, and his friendly dogs added to the charm of our stay. We especially loved starting each day with freshly laid eggs from their chickens, which made for a delicious breakfast. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!
