Site 1

Amidst the beautiful property of Turtle Ridge and farm animals, four campsites offer more privacy to campers than a typical campground. Close to hiking trails, what more could you want if you love nature? Site 1 was closest to the bathroom, was spacious, and had a beautiful view of the pond below. Tom, the host was helpful and accomodating. He also has carts for campers to borrow to get your belongings to your site. We would absolutely go back!

Site 1

The property was very pretty, Tom and his goats are friendly as well. Trail behind his property is nice and flat as well, great for a nice long walk.

Incredible fun!

Site 1

The location was perfect (site 1), I absolutely enjoyed every minute of our trip. There's plenty to do, with tons of trails to hike, and fishing options. Excellent amenities including an onsite bathroom, firewood purchase, and even eggs. Would absolutely love to come back soon.
