Pasture camp

Clinton is a great host with a nice tucked away pasture for tent camping (the RV portion is closer to the road), with a friendly horse to say hi to every morning. He even offered us a farm tour with his other barn animals! This would be nice fun for families with little kids, as there are small trails running through his property. If you're a light sleeper, I should note that this there is some street noise throughout the night (Amish carriages, an occassional car, etc) and their are dogs within the area that bark excessively. BUT, if you're like us and are active all day long on your weekend getaway, you'll still crash and sleep soundly after an adventure-packed day.

Pasture camp

Part 2

I forgot to add he’s got some really cool animals on his farm. You should definitely 100% check that out. Also, while there is no water spigot right at your campsite, Clinton did let me fill up my 30 gallon tank.

Pasture camp

Piece of ground

This is what it says. A piece of ground on this man’s property. No other campers. There are 2 areas to choose from. I think I would pick the more private spot further back. You will be completely hidden from 11 mile Rd. The front spot will experience some minor traffic noise and Amish run their horse and buggy regularly.
