The constant sound of a babbling brook, take an idyllic walk up the road to visit the closest neighbors, the cows while enjoying the beauty of rolling country hills. Hilly terrain.

There are a few solar light placed around the camp to help visibility at night. Also provided with one camp lantern. Parking for one car off the road but next to the road. A busy day is 10 cars passing by, normally 3-5 per day. If you should see an animal you don’t want near the camp make a lot of noise and they will leave, generally wildlife don’t like people. There are motion lights that will pop on to help see at night.

The creek is the main water source used for cleaning. The is a rain catch barrel by the sink. There is a large pot to heat water for a warm camp bath. You should bring your own drinking water.

There are bugs, mosquitos etc. This is self check in but feel free to text with any questions. There are places to eat on Main Street in Franklin, the Tulip and the rose, and Yokel deli, (5 minutes away, they have some basic food stuff too).
