Full RV hookups

Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at select sites.

We bought the farmette with much work outside and home interior remodel to complete. We slowly turned the property into our family oasis. We neighbor a pasture with cows. There are free range chickens running around during the day. Geese greet us every evening and morning at the pond...as do the many bullfrogs. Occasionally you'll hear the coyotes, but they keep their distance. The stars shine peacefully and the sunsets are picturesque (most afternoons). The pond is a great place to swim and fish. The hillside is a nice walk for exercise or take the easier route and sit under the great oak tree in the other pasture. Campsites are off the road, behind our main home. You won't find a sign...we keep it simple. We allow pets at the sites for a $5 per pet/per night. If you would like to bring a pet, please add the Pet Fee which is listed on the Extra during the booking process. We have firewood available for sale, $5.55/bundle. This is located in the Extra section during the booking process. Lastly, there is free range chicken eggs available for purchase, $3.50/dozen. This is also located in the Extra section during the booking process.

Site 3: Friendly Central

Great Time

The land was beautiful and peaceful. We camped in the center 3 sites. We fished everyday, went hiking nearby, and had bonfires. There were Cute cows, chickens, and ducks. The owners were very friendly. I would like to go back. But my family said they'd only go back if more bathrooms were installed. Having only 1 bathroom is difficult when there's any other people camping.

Site 1: Linden's Original

Beautiful views, quiet, great for f

Overall the experience was really good. The location had amazing views with open fields and a pond. Thr bayhroom on-site was clean and convenient. Water and electric is available at ease. The pond was an amazing communal space along with a cute playground for younger kids. Only downside was there is some construction on one of the houses onsite going on. The construction took place during our stay so we left for a few hours to go explore the state park. Owner of the site was apologetic for not giving us prior notification of construction by providing a nights worth of firewood. I imagine the construction will be done in a few weeks, so shouldn't be an issue next season!

A wonderful find for couples/single

My husband and I stayed 9 days at site#2. While it was perfect for us, it might not be for everyone. Bath facility was close and clean. It took us 2 showers to figure out the ebb and flow of the hot water but it was worth it. The area was busy in the mornings though surprisingly quiet. Chickens and cows were our only neighbors. The family lives on site and were respectful of our privacy. Little shade from trees but we were seldom there during the day and the nights were cool and dry. There are few activities for families and no camp stores . The sites are water, 50amp electric and a bit uneven. Our site also had dump access. It was exactly what we wanted for a change from regular campgrounds. I would go back if I ever planned a trip in that direction. I would not change anything.
