8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Property owners very friendly. Area is spacious with picnic areas and grills in case you forgot something. Price is close to the same as state park prices, so if Rickett's Glen is full, you won't be getting taken advantage of by coming here. If you are afraid you won't experience any wildlife, don't worry. We were entertained by deer all night!

Loved our stay!!

My group of 7 friends and I absolutely loved our stay with Jackie and Chris! Communication with them was very straight forward and quick right from the start, and Jackie greeted us right when we arrived (Make sure you touch base with her or Chris, as they will direct you to which specific campsite is yours). They were so friendly to us the entire weekend, saying good morning and goodnight and even getting us more fire wood when we ran out around 8 pm one night. There were 4 other groups camping at other campsites with no trees for separation, but we felt like we had enough privacy to enjoy ourselves- it helped that quiet hours were at 11. The porta potties were clean and in good shape, the site was large and spacious- good for lawn games, etc. We highly recommend hiking at Ricketts Glen, swimming at Lake Jean, and checking out Colonel Ricketts Cidery while in the area. All in all, wonderful stay with Chris and Jackie!!
