Relax by the Pond offers a serene and well-maintained camping experience, with spacious sites perfect for tents and RVs alike. Jennifer, the host, is noted for her welcoming nature and the thoughtful touches she adds, like providing firewood and souvenirs. While the site is praised for its tranquility and cleanliness, it's worth noting the proximity to train tracks, as the sound of the whistle is a common mention. Despite the occasional train noise, visitors appreciate the peaceful setting and the evident care put into maintaining the site.

Lovely Place

Tent · With pets

Relax by the ponds is a beautiful spot to set up camp with friends and family. The camp sites are spacious with a mix of Sun and shade. Jen has added several unique details that make this camp site memorable and special. You will hear trains in the area, and will need plenty of bug spray. But overall this wonderfully curated camp site shows the pride and thoughtfulness of Jen as an excellent HipCamp Host.

Beautiful property by the pond!

We've really enjoyed our stay at Relax by the Pond. Jennifer the host was very accommodating and super nice! Beautiful spot to camp, clean, nice setup with the fire pits. Wish we could've stayed longer but it was a quick pit stop for us unfortunately. We would definitely recommend this camping spot to anyone! Thank you again for letting us stay on your beautiful property. Cheers! The Robichauds 😃

Best site yet.

3 m campervan

The site was fantastic, very well maintained, and lots of room and freedom to set up in a desireable location and foot print. I have been to many Hipcamp sites and this is easily the best one yet. I plan on booking again. Cheers and thank you for the care you put into your site. It is appreciated.
