Park Your RV!

Hmmm

We’re new to hip camping and found it surprising to have such a different experience at the same price point during our extended road trip. We were thrilled to have a hot shower available in late November although it felt weird traipsing through the owners back yard to get to it, with a window to the house right in the shower (yes it was covered from the inside). Hooks for a towel or shower bag would have been nice. The outhouse was in the opposite direction and leaked out the front a bit. It was cold and rainy during our stay so overall not the best day for camping. Hosts were very friendly.

Farm camping

Mary and Victor's farm was very enjoyable. We had lots of room and privacy. Victor was very helpful and an excellent host. We unfortunately did not get to meet Mary, however she handled our reservation well and answered all our questions ahead of our visit. We would recommend staying there.

Old Style Re-made Horse Trailer

Great stay!

This spot was everything we’d hoped it would be! Mary and her husband are laid-back hosts but super friendly. The trailer has been renovated and insulated and was plenty of space for the three of us… Would be plenty for four.. The furnishings are rustic and charming… The 2 beds were actually pretty comfortable and the location of the trailer at the back of the property is private and yet not super remote. Mary and her husband were so kind to our little boy… Letting him in to pet and play with the chickens, the dog Marley and the horses Girasol and Lady Gaga! We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful people and wonderful property! They don't get much better than Mary (Dr. K!) and Victor, they're just salt of the earth people. Their 2 horses, Girasol and Lady Gaga are beautiful and their dog Marley (The Fugitive) is a sweetheart. Property was very peaceful. Highly recommend!!!

Park Your RV!

My husband and I booked a very last minute trip. We arrived late and passed the drive. As we were reserving, Victor was flagged us down. Very unexpected but super helpful! We were able to pay him for the wood we'd requested and got setup very easily. I had some work to do the next day, but was able to hotspot with no issues. It was quiet and relaxing! The second night there was an RV parked there and another couple. Thankfully, everyone was respectful and not very loud. We drove around the countryside and visited Dinosaur State Park. All in all, a great weekend!
