Private Forest Camper Retreat

Loved the campsite. We were at Hummingbird, with the camper. Kathryn is an excellent host and was very responsive if we had any questions. The site felt isolated and the dogs had a great time running around. There were hammocks, chairs, two picnic tables. We used the propane grill for cooking, that has a charcoal grill on the side if you choose to bring charcoal. They have all of the cooking utensils, and even plates, eating utensils, and mugs in the trailer for those of us that forgot to bring them. There are maps that they provide to go for hiking around the property. They have a nice compost toilet that's about 10 minutes away from the campsite (we did not use the toilet offered in the camper). There's plenty of firewood that you pay through venmo. All in all we had a blast and would definitely return again.

Secluded Creekside Retreat

I loved it here! The campsite was so cute and quiet and had everything we needed and more! And it was really nice to be able to walk around the property and see the mushroom farm!

Forest Oasis with Creek Pool

I loved how well maintained the site was! The grill and cooking accessories were very helpful! The bathroom was very clean and all other campers were respectful! The site was beautiful, and it was wonderful walking around the mushroom farm! The host was very responsive and helpful!

Phantom Hill

Waterthrush at Phantom Hill was a lovely weekend getaway with nature. The site had great seating, fire ring, table, comfy hammocks, and a grill for meals. The farm trails were full of sweet surprises including the self guided tour of the mushroom farm. The shared outhouse was close but not too close. This Hip Camp spot is just as described with hidden treasures.

Had an absolutely wonderful weekend camping at the Catbird site. Kathryn went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The place is beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Peaceful Creekside Getaway

I loved camping on Kathryn’s land!! Learning about the mushroom farm + the trails around the property was such a bonus. The site itself was so well equipped too, can’t wait to come back!!
