Customer Reviews
This property is absolutely amazing - my girlfriend and I were looking for a camping spot with amenities and stumbled upon Kai's property. The tents were spacious and well protected from the elements with very comfortable beds and bedding, extremely clean and organized with the essentials you'd want.The fire pit and grilling accessory made for a fun experience cooking a pizza in our cast iron pan over the fire before making s'mores later in the evening. If you'd prefer to cook over a traditional grill, that's available as well. The layout of having the sleeping quarters raised on a second story with the dining room / hangout area below is such an efficient and cozy use of space. The bath house is pristine with a nice little coffee corner with a small fridge as well as an electric vehicle charger on the side of the building.Perfect for two couples or a small family, as there are two separate sleeping arrangements on each side of the property with plenty of privacy between them, separated by the bath house. There are also nice trails for walking and some pick your own blueberry bushes that make a nice addition to pancakes in the morning.Will definitely be back and recommending it to our friends and family.
