We’ve camped at many places over the years, and this location provided a great experience! Much better than dealing with a state campground. Close to Bethel Woods with a very accommodating owner who made sure everyone had a great stay.

Amazing & beautiful campground. Host is very accommodating. There is a full bathroom (stocked with towels too!) & kitchen. 15 minutes from bethel woods so it was perfect for our group.

The groundskeeper is so nice and accommodating. The property was beautiful and well kept. Bonus there is a kitchen, fridge, bathroom & shower available for use separate from the main house and a porter potty near camp site. Everything about this experience was wonderful.
