John's land. We were in site 2 and it is a large open flat area with a firepit and picnic table. Plenty of space for kids or animals to roam and to set up tents. The outhouse is a little ways from camp but not an issue. just annoying if you needed to get up in the night to go. We drove our car to the outhouse sometimes and walked other times. John is a very generous host and has a beautiful garden." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Luke B." }, "datePublished": "June 9, 2024", "reviewBody": "As always staying on John's land is an absolute privilege. It's quiet, serene, and perfect escape from the busiest of everyday life. The site has everything you need from a campsite. Access to firewood/firepit, water, and a lovely toilet situation. The fenced in field is what we love the most since we can let our dogs run to their hearts content.

The host, Johnny gave my family a personal tour of his blacksmithing area, his hotshot barn, and walked us around his beautiful veggie garden. He even hand picked some peppers and berries we ate fresh off the vine! He gave all the kids (and me) a horse shoe off the wall for a keep sake. The camping area was quiet and private and fenced in. Our dogs and kids ran around and had the time of their lives. The creek is only a few feet away and allowed the kids to cool down when it got hot. We explored the area and found a nice and easy trail to walk. The outhouse was a luxury amenity anyone would desire. We are already planning on returning again! Highly recommend! Thanks again Johnny for the priceless memories you helped create!

There is 10 of us including the pups and there was more than enough room for everyone to play, explore and spread out. The fire pit was awesome and huge, the outhouse was the best/cleanest one I’ve ever been too (it was HOT and it didn’t stink at ALL!!!). Our kids loved saying hi to the horses on the property. The owner was so kind and checked on us to make sure we were all okay & didn’t need anything! The creek was small, but perfect for cooling off! And having the ability to gate off the area so the kids and pups were safe was a huge plus for us. Toddlers love to wander, ya know? Lol. I would totally recommend this campsite to everyone!
