We had a great time during our stay. Aside from watching the eclipse, we took so walks on the property. The crowd was busy for the eclipse weekend,, I would recommend a visit during a normal weekend, as the property is close to many beautiful hikes. Host was welcoming and accommodating

We had a great time watching that eclipse at this campsite. David and his friends were very accommodating. Would recommend his field in anytime.
