Jax (owner), Danielle and Joe were some of the most down to earth and “real” people that I have ever met in my life. I communicated with Jax for some time prior to me coming up and all made me feel welcome and helped me get set up. I truly appreciate all that they did and would DEFINITELY stay in the same place again. I believe that most sites have both electric and water hookups.
Location was very awesome… right off of US2 close to Plainfield.

Everyone is very friendly, the views are great and it is a great place for friends, family and dogs. Love going there and spending time with my gf and her family.

Great place to relax and enjoy family time. Every time I’ve been, everyone staying there seems nice, especially the seasonal guests! It’s got great scenery including the orchard, and the river, and it’s dog friendly! My dog really enjoys having the space to run around! The service is spotty which is wonderful for disconnecting from the outside world. Would recommend!!

Although we unfortunately had to change our travel plans and didn’t get the chance to stay at this campground, I still wanted to leave a review because of how wonderful the owner, Jax, has been. From the start, they were incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely understanding - going above and beyond to assist us with our reservation and questions. It’s rare to come across such thoughtful hospitality, even before arriving on site.

If our travels bring us back to the area in the future, this will absolutely be our first choice for a stay. Highly recommend based on the outstanding service alone!

In spite of several years of unprecedented flooding they have created and expanded a lovely campground. Now with an orchard and beautiful berry bushes, flowers; a walk through the woods past the pond and up to the sacred stone circle can be done by all. We had a very peaceful respite. On my list for a stop every time I come this way. Service was outstanding!
