Hidden Lake Woods Tent Campgrounds!

I had two grandkids along and they loved seeing the horses, chickens and the dog Marley. Victoria and Mary were so friendly and helpful. We had a great time in spite of the damp and cold weather. We explored local parks.

Park Your RV!

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.

Park Your RV!

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.

Remodelled Horse Trailer

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!
