Just look to the left of the west facing garage door.

Conifers and Pine Cones

This was a beautiful location. Close enough to town to be convienent but far enough out to be quiet and secluded. The site is well cared for and nicely laid out. They have a troupe of ducks and geese to entertain you as well. We recommend this for a peaceful stay.

The Mighty Oak Tree

The host was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout our stay. The grounds were well-kept, portable toilets in private tents were clean and ready to use with toilet paper and hand sanitizer in the tents, and morning feeding of the ducks/geese/chickens/turkeys/peacocks was fun for my kids and myself. Great first experience at camping.
