Site 1 - The Edge
You gotta go!
Y'all...this place is GREAT! We had the whole site to ourselves which might have helped but we loved it all. Great location from the cities. Not having to bring wood for our fires was great. Very private (again, we had the whole place to ourselves, not just this site). Super easy in and out options with a vehicle. There's a lean-to which is great for rain (we had 2 of 3 days with rain). We also booked the cabin and that's very comfortable with chairs available if needed, plenty of sleeping space (a single and a double with a single bunk), and a small table. We booked the cabin in the event of rain but even though it rained, we just used it as a great place to store our food etc. There are two zip lines - the kids and adults liked those. Plenty of room to roam. GREAT view!! Will definitely come back! And, would recommend renting out more than one site so you can have a little privacy!

Disappointing experience
We got to the site and were unable to position our 30ft camper on the site due to tight quarters. We had to back out of the property on a poorly maintained inclined gravel road. Not a good experience. Contacted owner to inform him of our situation. He mentioned that we could camp anywhere on his property because there were no other campers there during this time. We looked but could not find any acceptable site. We were fortunate to find a place to camp elsewhere. Proprietor said he would check into a refund, but we have yet to see it.

Awesome peaceful weekend
I had a great time at The Edge. It was just the peaceful retreat I needed. There were barely any bugs, there was plenty of fire wood to gather, and all the solitude I could hope for. There were only two other campers there renting the cabin and I loved the privacy. The airplanes were loud, but I read the reviews so I brought some ear plugs - problem solved. A grate over the fire pit would have been helpful but I managed just fine with my cast iron Dutch oven. I will definitely be back!

Grill with shelter -not a camp site
Great place. Different at first because there is no home on the property (guessing it’s across the street) but host was very nice and responsive.

Site 4/walk in
Offering a wheeled cart to help schlep gear from one's vehicle to their site would be helpful. Perhaps paths of wood chips, too?
