This was my second time coming here for a weekend getaway, Justin is a really stand up guy! He hiked over from his house all the way to the site with a giant water jug so that it would be easier to put out the fire we had made before going to bed. He also checked on us to see if we needed anything, he’s a real nice dude! Me and my buddies will absolutely keep coming here! You can also see many stars in the night sky when it’s clear, it’s very beautiful!

Great location with a few extras!

15 ft pop-up camper

We had a great stay, ideal location as a base camp for hiking the triple crown. Property was very clean and well-maintained. Justin‘s communication was excellent. Plenty of firewood on site and the pit toilet was a convenient touch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we’re ever in the area.

New Year’s Camping

Tent

We really enjoyed our New Year’s stay on Justin’s land! Justin was helpful and communicative and briefly stopped by to be sure we had settled in and had everything we needed. Pros: - Covered picnic tables! - Plenty of firewood - Lots of places to explore - Bathroom!!! - Two options for fire pits Cons: - Right off a fairly noisy road/doesn’t feel super private - We visited after rain, so the firewood was wet causing issues starting and maintaining a fire
