Parking & Arrival
PLEASE USE GOOGLE MAPS TO FIND US. APPLE MAPS TAKES YOU TO THE WRONG LOCATION. Directions from I-70 -- staying on paved roads: Take the Wilson exit #206, head south towards the city of Wilson. Turn left on Avenue D. Drive 2 miles & turn left on 4th road. This is a paved road, but it is bumpy so go slowly. (It was paved in the 1959 by the US Government, but it hasn't been maintained...) Drive on 4th road until you see our large mailbox on the left and our driveway with postrock stones. You can't miss it! Drive up to the top of the hill and look to your right. There, you will see a large grassy area with limestone blocks lying in front of large concrete foundation pads. This area used to be a paved parking lot in the 60's so it can handle the weight of heavy rigs. I have hosted MANY there! I ask that you pull or back in to this area with the front/back end of your vehicle facing North/South. You may use your slide outs, awnings, outdoor furniture, and generators. I am usually here to greet you at the top of the drive and help you get situated. (Occasionally, I am not here, but are always available to you via phone/text as you arrive.) I live on-site currently in a RV, but I am in the process of building a home here. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
