Welcome to our cherished family land, steeped in Native American heritage and nestled amidst the serene beauty of nature. For generations, our family has lovingly tended to this sacred land, and we invite you to experience its tranquility and charm. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by acres of meticulously mowed lawn stretching down to the tranquil creek's edge. Choose from one of our seven pristine camping sites nestled along the creek, where you can listen to the soothing melody of flowing water and immerse yourself in the serenity of the surroundings. For those seeking a closer connection with nature, explore the numerous sites scattered across the property, each offering its own unique ambiance and natural beauty. Wander through lush gardens bursting with fresh vegetables and seasonal delights, including succulent blackberries ripe for the picking. With 700 feet of creek frontage, you'll have ample opportunities for fishing, wading, or simply basking in the peaceful atmosphere. Across the creek, four acres of additional land beckon, providing space for more secluded campsites or quiet contemplation amid nature's embrace. Our expansive lawns offer the perfect setting for gatherings, celebrations, and special events, from weddings to parties and BBQs. We provide BBQ facilities for your convenience, or we're happy to handle the grilling for you if you prefer.

Camping with Kids
Overall experience and communication with the host was excellent. However: couple things: No potable water access, even though is listed on the site. Bring your own water. In addition, the bathroom is mainly a backpacking toilet in the open. No privacy at all. Bring wipes, or extra water to rinse after doing bathroom business. If you bring your dogs, I highly recommend to ask the owner to close the gate at the entrance at night time. We brought two of our doggies and one of them passed away when being hit by a car early morning on a Saturday. Our dog explored too far, while we were sleeping. No one’s fault, I want to prevent and protect a future doggy at this site when you go camping. My nieces enjoyed the creek, great space for kiddos. Make sure to ask host to clean the site before you arrived. We found trash all over. The place was easy to find. The property has two dogs on site, they are at the house fenced in, but if you have doggies, they might be interested in going to check them out and they are close to the gate which can be dangerous, if you dog gets out on the road.

The creek was perfect for the hot weather and for the kids to play safely. Great getaway in the summer.

Creek campin’
It was awesome getting to camp right next to a swimming hole. Quiet and secluded, we were able to really relax. Mike is kind and accommodating. We will be back!

Great swimming, listing incorrect
Mike was super nice! Very responsive and friendly when we arrived. Also, the water was great, even for kiddos because it had shallow spots as well as swimming areas. This campsite has great cell service and is easy to get to from the road (minimal amount of off-roading required). There were a few things in the listing that were not true so be aware when you come. For example, the listing said bins, potable water and toilets. I put my trash in a bin on site on our way out, assuming this was the bin being referred to and turns out the expectation is pack in/out so definitely plan accordingly. Also I asked Mike beforehand if there was potable water and he let me know there wasn’t so just make sure you don’t follow the listing exactly (and just ask Mike). Also, this location won’t feel very private since it’s near the road and the house. Wasn’t a problem for us but be aware it’s not very isolated. Mike indicated we could camp anywhere so you may be able to find a more private spot than we did. Finally, there was some stuff around the campsite so it wasn’t the most pristine experience. These are all minor things though, overall we had a great time!

Mike was a great host and his property was wonderful. We were right next to the creek and it was nice being able to dip our feet in the cool water during this heat wave. Would recommend this spot to future campers for sure.

Beautiful plot to camp in with a nice creek to enjoy. The surrounding trees are gorgeous, and I saw lots of cool birds. There is the slight sound of cars passing by on the highway nearby, which bothered me a small amount as I was hoping to feel entirely isolated from urban environments, but I soon stopped noticing it.
