Site 9 - Woods Edge

We loved our campsite, tucked in a little grove off the dirt path, with lots of kindling to collect around us for the fire. We arrived after dark, so all the beautiful sights of Barbie’s land struck us in the morning. The swamp with beaver huts, visiting with alpacas and meeting Barbie’s super friendly cat were some of our highlights. We’d love to come back again.

Excellent campground! Barbie was a great host. She checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed. Her property is the perfect place to camp.

Site 9 - Woods Edge

Fantastic and beautiful setting with clean and useful structures including Porto potties and a “welcome shed”. The site was perfect and very comfortable for me and my dog and could have fit more. Great star gazing. I never quite figured out the hiking trail and had off and on reception on site, but I know that Barbie, the host, was responsive—so if you’re interested in this probably good to message in advance. But lots of space for me to take my dog on a long line through a field and around the common areas.
