If you’re looking for a quiet respite along your journey — this is NOT it! the folks were very nice, but unfortunately there is an extremely loud train that runs all hours of the night right along the edge of the property. and there’s also at least 50 chickens that will start screaming far before dawn.
This was an amazing spot to camp with wide open park to look at stars with no light pollution and the best part was to watch amtrak trains passing by from campground.
Off the beaten path, I’m a good way! It was quiet, remote, and still close to town (about 12-15 minutes) Host was good to check in digitally and give all of the info I needed. Beer drinker? There a very nice brew house down the street with indoor/outdoor seating and gas fire pits. There’s a great set up for a fire in your site as well.
The host, Nouae, and his community were very nice!
We just happened to stay during a busy time for the ranch (their Harvest Festival and Halloween event) so there was a lot going on - a lot of people, constructing, and equipment that we were not expecting. Directions to the sites were not clear once we reached the main house.
The site itself was nice. We enjoyed the fire pit and out dog loved the open field where she played.
We loved the open land and having farm animals around. For us, the train added charm, and so did the roosters. The directions were clear, but we were glad to arrive before dark.
