Mark was very friendly and led me to the campsite on arrival. Peaceful, beautiful, and only very minimal noise. The picnic table and fire pit were a great touch! Gorgeous in late summer.

*Serene Escape on 36 magical acres*
Perched atop a gentle hill, the site offered breathtaking views over a vast expanse of treetops, creating a natural tapestry that was both humbling and awe-inspiring. -Wildlife galore at every turn and peripheral , offering a sense of peace and privacy that is hard to find in more crowded campsites. The air was fresh, as well as the natural spring water running through the middle of the prairie. As night falls, the countryside quickly transforms, revealing a blanket of stars that seemed almost within reach. The moon phase delivered illumination to the landscape making for good natural night light up on the hillside! Most importantly to be known is ; The hospitality of Mark & Wendy during our stay was immense and magical adding a special touch to the entire experience. In essence - this is the stay of the season for us and staying on this property is not just a retreat into nature, but a truly enriching encounter with wonderful people who see sharp and live freely with bright spirits doing what they love.

Hilltop Overlook Tent site
Booked Mark's Hilltop site at the last minute and he was very responsive in providing details to drive right up to the campsite through the app. He also provided a nice map to check out the meadow -- startled a couple white tail deer during my walk. Being on the hilltop, there were great sunset and sunrise views -- with the big sky above.
