Awesome Camping Experience
A great camping experience! The location of this site ensures you won’t have noisy camping neighbors ruining your trip. (Who hasn’t had a nightmare like that before?) We loved how private the site was and that there were so many trails to explore, and a really neat labyrinth. Site 9 Turkey Knob, gets lots of sun which makes it perfect for chilly weather. And while there is a forested part that provides shade and privacy, there is also open space which is ideal for stargazing. You can even walk a few paces and look at the stars from the wide open pipeline easement. Donald met us when we arrived and led us to the site where we found he had thoughtfully stocked valuable camping items: firewood, a large gatorade style cooler of water, and a trail map. He has crafted a wonderful campground and experience. One note to small vehicle owners, while the dirt roads to this site were dry and traction was perfect, a small vehicle will bottom out in some areas and there is no way to avoid it. Our Prius came away with some undercarriage damage. 100% our fault. Don’t repeat our foolery. Borrow an SUV or truck, something that sits up high, or be level headed and take Donald up on his offer to drive you in. If you want to easily drive your small vehicle right up to a site, the Salamander site has a similar forrest & open space design. That site provides privacy too, but it is closer to Donald’s place and other campers, some people might be more relaxed knowing they are close-ish to others.
