Whether you're looking to unwind for the weekend or reconnect with friends and family, this private campground offers the space and setting to do just that. Please note: This is a bring-your-own setup. Guests must provide their own RV, camper, or tent—fire pit is provided on-site and there is fire wood for sale. A large cabin on-site offers campground restrooms and showers, accessible from an exterior entrance. We offer spacious spots surrounded by nature and open skies. Rates start at $35/night for RVs and campers and $20/night for tents. You'll enjoy access to private trails and a scenic lake (no swimming, per insurance), plus shared use of kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat—life jackets are not provided. This is a great place to unplug and relax. Expect a quiet, rustic atmosphere with the charm of country living. You may even see a bit of wildlife or hear the sounds of the woods at night.
