10 acres hosted by Patricia W.

Private sites

100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Every cowboy enjoys a chair by the pond with a fishing pole in his hand. Gordon was no different. Gordon’s pond was designed and built by Gordon. The beautiful wooden gazebo and rustic cabin were once standing trees of the Colton property. Before they were harvested, milled and carefully nailed together by Gordon. Today stands a wooden gazebo and benches to sit by the pond as the bull frogs sing & the crickets chirp. The rustic one room cabin with wood stove helps to disconnect and enjoy the simple life in nature.

Sounds of Nature

It was a bit too find it but after that it was pretty easy, You're greeted by the dogs, they bark but are very sweet. Keep an eye out and you will see the horses walking around, they are sweet but can be a bit shy. Fresh clean water is a big plus. The gazebo can be a nice place to sit and relax. I love the sounds at night very peaceful. You hear coyotes but they are not on the property but I like the howls you can hear but they are brief and it gets quiet again you can hear the frogs and insects and owls. There is a country store that has a nice hot food selection as well. And last but not least Patricia is very nice and accommodating and likes to meet the guests when they arrive to welcome them. So if you like peace and quiet sounds of nature and no light pollution then Gordon's Pond is a nice place to be

Not what we expected

The property has lots of potential. The pictures advertised were from a time the place was better taken care of. The pond doesn't look as inviting as the pictures advertised. Campsites did not have fire rings. And, the roads headed to the property need work. The horses were beautiful. But, need a good grooming and hooving. One of the horses needs a vet. And, bring earplugs. What was not advertised was the owner breeds dogs. And, those dogs bark. A lot. Coyotes came the first night we were there. And, the dogs there and in the neighborhood barked from midnight til after 4 AM. Tuesday morning at 8AM We woke up to chainsaws running. Wednesday morning was Porta potty cleaning at 9 AM. So sleeping in didn't happen for us. The owner is extremely nice. And, suggested earplugs. I know only so much work can be done with just one set of hands working on the place. I'm hoping a local charity or church local to the property could come help her out by cleaning and shaping the campsites for her. She seems like a good lady who could use a little help. I told her I'd leave a honest review and so I have. We were Upgraded to site 3 when we got there which was more private. But, closest to the dogs. Minor improvements and a good clean full pond and this place would be booked solid.

Serene Camp Site

Patricia is a lovely host! Her property is beautiful and serene. She upgraded us to Tent 3, it was secluded, shaded, can fit few tents comfortably. It was also nice to have a picnic table. We also met with the rescue horses and they were friendly! We will definitely return :)

Tent 1

Such a peaceful quiet space. Patricia was a lovely host, fir valley pour house down the road is a wonderful place to have lunch or a elevated dinner. Live music as well on most weekends. Great swimming holes nearby as well! I would definitely recommend staying, I hope to make my way back for years to come.

Tent 3 Group

The host is super friendly and welcoming! A camping spot tucked into the woods. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Bring bug repellent for mosquitos but it was excepted being by a pond. The host has horses roaming around which the kids loved! We had a great time!
