    We loved staying on Robert’s land. It was perfect for a short weekend getaway. The area was flat, dry, quiet and well kept with a perfect canopy of trees overhead. We loved having the additional furniture and appreciated getting a supply of wood, which lasted us both days. The area and facilities were very clean. It was only a short car ride away to some of the lakes and towns nearby. It had everything we needed and we would highly recommend. We hope to be back again soon.

    Very secluded and quiet. Great space to set up the tent. Also, very convenient with lots of comfortable seating around the fire pit. I plan on coming back!

    We had a great stay here. Would definitely come back. Nice and secluded feel without being to far from civilization. Was nice to bring our 2 large dogs and not have to worry about other people. Having the outhouse was a definite plus. Robert left us with more wood than we even needed and there was great seating already there which was appreciated! Lots of shade too so we weren't stuck in the sun the whole time.

    Perfect trip as always! Naples and Grimes Glen are a short drive from this quiet private site, adding to its charm.

    Had a great stay! This is a lovely, quiet, and private little patch of woods with a comfortable balance of light and shade. Good location: we found a nice park in town for kayaking and took a day trip to Letchworth State Park. Shopping & food nearby if you need it. The onsite furniture is both cute and very usable, with a huge picnic table. Plenty of fire wood was provided. The cooking grate over the fire ring was very appreciated, since our camp stove failed. Even the clean, close by, composting toilet was pleasant. Host was friendly and very respectful of two women camping by themselves. Would definitely camp here again if in the area!
