Friday night we heard a Great Horned Owl! Saw a gopher multiple times poking his head out of his hole and looking around. Birdsong in the morning is wonderful, along with good bird watching, too. Gorgeous sunset the first night. Alder meadow slopes downward and the ground is very uneven. Don't think you're going to set up a whiffle ball game or other activity that requires level ground. There are limited level spots for tents (best one is down by the trees). Be sure to bring leveling devices for RVs and vans. No picnic table, so bring your own camp tables. Only shade is down by the trees, so bring shade tent if you want to hang out closer to your rigs. There is potable water, but it is a couple hundred yards away at the old farmhouse (on the back porch where the dishwashing station is located). There is significant vehicle noise on Sunnyview, starting at about 6:00 a.m. and going well into the night. Many farm vehicles traveling pretty fast. The traffic noise diminished at night. There was some loud music (from a neighboring property?) late into Saturday night, but we slept okay. If there is someone camped \"next door\" at Heritage Grove, you have to walk at little farther to go around this site to get to the outhouse." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Carrie B." }, "datePublished": "July 22, 2025", "reviewBody": "Nice, quiet heritage property with an amazing variety of fruit trees.

Just rustic enough to know you’re away. Just funky enough to make it interesting. Friends camped, and the space was open and not crowded too close to other campers. We rented a cabin, which was tight, clean, electrified and really well appointed. No running water, but stocked w fresh water in a jug and backup water should you run out. It’s WAY nicer than I can describe here. Our own composting toilet - not to gush but…Wow! Who knew? Great, helpful, friendly staff, dogs, cats and ducks. Enjoy your stay.
