Beautiful setting and very private. We had a full moon so it was even more special.
Both hosts are very friendly and accommodating.
I am happy to recommend the site but I also would prefer not too many people crowding in.

This campsite was very peaceful and I got a good night's sleep. Thanks to James, :)
I was able to find the place with no tr6juble.

James is very communicative and hospitable. He went above and beyond our expectations multiple times. He also provided the best farm fresh eggs I've ever had in my entire life. Thanks again, James!

Great memories! Beautiful field.
James’ land was a great spot to watch the eclipse-clear open skies! We had a blast as a family. James also drove by to provide us lunch. He was an awesome host. Thanks James for helping our family create memories.

Absolutely fantastic, the folks running things had everything pretty well organized. For the first time letting it be camped I think they put something amazing together. Hope we can stay here again.

Great place to camp
This was a great place to view the eclipse! Lots of tree line for camping. The grass was well manicured. There was a water truck and portopotty provided. He drove around on a golf cart delivering firewood right to our camp. He didn't have any problems with us digging a firepit. There were even Amish horse wagon rides for the kids. Very nice person. I would definitely recommend this place.
