We have new, small tents for sale if you need one. The sites are all pack in pack out, but our tractor will cart your things to and from your site, so no heavy lifting for you! You cannot drive your vehicle to your site. However we do allow vehicle camping at the edge of the woods, no hook ups. Please contract for availability. The purpose is PEACE and all proceeds go to benefit The Acres of Peace Center which provides equine, animal and nature therapy for free to Veterans, 1st responders and others since 2004.
