We really enjoyed our trip. The view was amazing. It felt really secluded even though you can see the road if you're up by the parking area. We lost signal just moments before pulling up so a little nerve wracking but it was so much fun we almost didn't miss not having phone service. Kids had an amazing time and really enjoyed having water access.

Beautiful serene space that was well taken care of. Slept great and our dog had an amazing time running around the wide open space. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my stay at By the Water. Really large pond. I didn't venture out. Just wanted some quiet time. Will stay there again.

Beautiful, private, and excellent fishing! We liked how shutting the gate behind us made it feel even more secluded. There were many great options for where to pitch our tent. There was quite a bit of noise from neighboring properties - shooting practice (afternoon/evening only), dogs, road noise and roosters/screaming chickens that continued throughout the night. I recommend ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones/ear buds to sleep. While it appeared there was a lot going on around us, we didn't see anyone else nor anything but the beautiful fall leaves and reflections in the lake. The positives more than outweighed the negatives, and we would return.

Very pleasant place! I spent a night here in my van; it was quiet, peaceful, and the view of the pond (almost a lake) was beautiful. Property is easy to find, entry is through a gate, and road/two track in is very well maintained. Level ground and good cell service (Spectrum in my case). Another Hipcamp winner!

Wendy was an excellent host and was very responsive to my queries and requests. The property is very picturesque and the main camp site large enough for 2-3 small to medium sized tents. Like other reviews, I would mention that the site is only about 100-150 yards from a state highway and the nearby roosters crowed 24 hours a day so there is some noise. The dogs from the nearby kennel (sounded like hunting hounds) barked off and on during the day and night as well so if you are looking for quiet solitude this may not be the place for you. That being said, we didn't find it too distracting.

This place is a hidden gem! I’m almost hesitant to leave a review for fear of it being booked solid. Very peaceful, secluded, so many places to set up a tent ( we tent camp). This was our first time here and we have already booked again in 2 weeks. Host was very helpful with information as well. Highly recommended!

This is my first time camping trip, I love how private it was. You do hear chickens from somewhere but easily tune them out. There was plenty of shaded spots near the water, that’s where I pitched my tent. Only thing I wish I brought was a fishing pole. Very peaceful and safe.

Gorgeous spot out by a large pond ALL to yourself! Terrific getaway if you need some quiet, private camping. Small town with a handful of stores ten minutes in either direction.

We loved tent camping at By the Water. Easy to find easy to set up. Lovely view across the water. Neighboring chickens have a lot to say, but they become background noise. Also while we are well away from the road, you can hear the traffic. Once on the property it feels very private and secluded.

Fourth time I’ve been to this location. Very easy to access and secluded considering it’s right off the road. Really enjoy having the whole lake to myself.

I hesitate to recommend this place because it will get booked and I'll never get to see it again. Farm pond with fish jumping and Herons patrolling the shore. Closely mown field grass, plenty of level RV parking. Some road noise and chicken coop continuous background noise 24/7. No bugs to speak of end of April.

Very peaceful and great pond to fish in. First time taking my dog camping so it was nice that it was isolated and you don’t have to worry about other campers around the area.

Beautiful property, good privacy, great spot!
Notes:
-Everythinng was very well maintained and clean. There is a nice spot to set up camp by the water as soon as you come past the treehouse/stand on your right.
-While there is plenty of privacy and tree cover, a somewhat busy road is nearby and you can hear vehicles passing
Thank you for hosting us!!

Great spot and hosts! GPS took me straight to it. The spot is serene and quiet. I was there in the fall and with a camper van hauling a trailer and i had no trouble on the grass. It was easy to pull through and turn around.

"Absolutely stunning and secluded camping location. The grassy area is impeccably kept, and the view of the pond is truly awe-inspiring. Our weekend couldn't have been more idyllic, especially with the flawless autumn weather. Wendy was exceptionally responsive and incredibly supportive throughout the entire experience."

A beautiful and relaxing spot. There are tons of options for setting up camp and I felt very secluded. My dog loved the water and I felt very comfortable having him off leash. There is a bit of noise from the neighbors animals so just be aware. I will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The land is beautiful and our dogs really enjoyed playing in the pond. It’s also a great place to see the stars. There was also a pretty constant light breeze that felt great! There is noise from neighbors roosters and dogs, and some cars so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. We would come back again.
