Text me to make sure our Charlie doesn't go out..near your campsite if no one else is here..your discretion because their is wildlife here..Inspect the area.. if your dog digs holes, ask for tools to fix the holes.. 🐕👨‍👦*Kids & dogs we love them...should not wonder too far from their campsite out of their parents view due to wildlife..They should play in front of your camper and not your neighbors. People rest here.. . Stay on Mowed trails/field areas only when walking. *No smoking within 800’ of our house. 🛑No generators!

Location

Grass and packed sand... millings. You will travel on 1 mile of dirt/gravel packed road to reach our home. ½ mile County maintained & ½ mile of private rd..Some minor bumps.. We pull our Travel Trailer in and out just fine, as well as our past BW/HH guests... Plenty of room to maneuver. Sites are not perfectly level, but level enough :)

    We stayed here for four nights and enjoyed every one of them. Ron and Sue are a wonderful couple and gave us some great suggestions for dinner. We definitely will return.

    The hosts are super friendly. I spent Thanksgiving here and they even brought me over a delicious plate of food. Plenty of space to walk my pup and run a bit.
