If you have to bring a 2nd car, let the host know and $15/day parking fee will be charged manually. It's very expensive to maintain the paved road, and our neighbors had lots of complaints about too much traffic due to the campers coming so we have to minimize the cars as much as possible.
Our water is from a natural spring.
We are in the rural mountains and woods so overall it is pretty rustic!
It's tick season in the spring and summer, watch out for ticks and use protection (insect repellant) as needed.

We have a main trail on our 45 acre. The head of the main trail is right by the red Main House, just follow the paved the road down and it will become dirt road at campsite 12. It's about 45min to 1hr hike down to the end where the Amaya creek serves the boundary to the neighbor's property. On the main trail there is also a small waterfall, but it is not visible from the trail, you have to go off the trail on the left side to find it. I put pink ribbon on the tree there, but at other spots too so may not be the best sign.
Enjoy hiking, creeks and small water fall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing (deer, turkey, owl etc), star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more.

Just Okay

The directions to the location were accurate. As we drove down the steep and narrow paved road toward the campsite, it was a little difficult to navigate in a wider car. When we arrived at what was the campsite area, it wasn't very clear trying to find our site (8A). Furthermore, once we did find it, other campers were as confused or more confused than we were about the boundaries of the campsites. The bathrooms were functional, and I could use the sink to wash dishes, but the showers were not used by any of us because they were funky. Next time, I may take more time to find a suitable campsite without paying this much for just an okay camping experience.
