A hideout indeed! Google maps and pics do not properly show the enormity of this place. I came here a couple of months ago for disc golf, but there was way more to be discovered here then I had thought. Here's a little bit about Horning's Hideout: = Just Getting Here = Be aware that once you drive off the main road, you'll see the signs to the hideout, but it's all gravel and tall trees from there. From the main sign, the drive heads downward, winding through the forest, down the canyon. Similar to that of driving to Pittock Mansion, only unpaved and narrower turns. So please proceed with caution. Once at the bottom, it opens up to a pleasant little valley. = Parking and Fee = Past the barn, to your right is the parking area. It's an open field. Pay at the parking station, $5 per person. = Features & Activities = * For fishing, I had inquired at the office. Once you park, there is a house or an information office just above the parking station. The lady (or owner) was helpful as she explained to me the lay of the land. Again, this place was way larger than I had imagined. But back to fishing... There is a lake that gets stocked with trout. No fishing license required. Assuming due to this being private land. You do pay a catch/cleaning fee. They also have fly-fishing during the winter through spring season. More details on their website. I did notice they've got paddle boats as well. So, forget the stupid ipad, and keep the kids busy with fishing and paddle boating! * For disc golf, there are three huge courses. One, only being par 3's. Which to me was like a good hike, yet still challenging. A medium course that's par 3's and 4's through the canyon that's said to be scenic. I have yet to try it. And a championship course with par 5's; Difficult greens around trees, and a U-turn. Someday, but not any time soon! * As for the wedding venues, I can only imagine, but there are three venues to use depending on your wedding party size. Can you envision your wedding photos or even your reception being close to a pond, a lake, a creek, or even a waterfall, with trees all around? Yeah, that's this place! Oh yeah, and with peacocks too! * Camping is also allowed as well. Reservations required of course. * And as you can see with the yelp photos, they occasionally have concerts which I though was really cool. Well, that just about sums it up, not sure what else to say. It's just a secluded place worth checking out. Especially if you need to escape some city life. read more

An Absolutely Beautiful place for a wedding. My son and daughter in law chose the lakeside venue. We were blessed with a wonderful day weather wise. It had forecasted to rain but luckily it held off until the following day. It would have been a totally different event had it rained. I do wish there was a way of getting around having to walk in gravel but unless they pave it there is no getting around that. So guests were told ahead of time to be aware of that. Different chairs were rented rather than the plastic ones that are provided which was a nice thing. Extra hanging lights were rented and hung up by the brides father. It made a big difference and I think the venue should consider investing in adding them permanently. read more

Wedding was great, beautiful place. If you like disc golf they offer that as well with the camping

If you consider North Plains as part of the Portland metro area, then this is hands down the best place for beginner disc golfers within Portland, in terms of scenery and variety. 3 courses for different skill levels. Very woodsy, earthy, forested courses. One of them has a hole where you throw your disc across a pond. My partner said that was the easy course, but it's challenging for a newb like me. Bring an extra disc and a towel! During covid times, there weren't a lot of people, so that is a big plus. It's $5/pp and you can play disc golf all day. Watch for the peacocks and peahens, they are a hoot! read more

Really beautiful place that is actually a wedding venue, but we went here for fishing. It was our first time fishing. The guy at the front explained us the whole process. When we got to the water, it still took us a while to get the hang of it but we finally caught two good size trouts in the 2.5 hours we were there. You are expected to clean and cut your fish yourself, which we really weren't ready for. But it was an experience! You pay $5 per person to enter the grounds and then $8 a pound for the fish you catch. All the gear is available there. Just bring maybe an ice box to put your fish in if you have a long drive back. read more

I go for the golf... disc golf that is. This may be one of the most beautiful fun course in the northwest. I will warn you, make sure to bring some old discs you don't mind losing.... the courses have some very difficult holes with water hazards.... I have parted with a disc or too. I try to take a few minutes alone to have a final moment with the disc before I throw it so the loss is not as bad. For other discs they hit so many trees I place them under by car seat as an air freshener after my rounds.. for 5 dollars to play all day you can do all three courses if you are prime shape! read more

I am amazed that I experienced this for the first time this August! A friend gifted me a three day pass for Faerieworlds and this setting made that experience magical! The first day I got there super late in time to see the last band and spend time with friends, walking them back to their campsite. I honestly had passes for camping too but was a bit too nervous when I had never even been to the site at all to go all in like that. I will say I was very impressed with the Faerieworlds volunteer staff the whole weekend as they were so welcoming and on top of it. The markers leading you to and fro were very clear, especially with a volunteer to also point the way. It was super confusing to find my way around in the dark so things were far easier the next day...and I even saw a few of the peacocks with their young! The paths throughout were so perfect for all the rows of vendors. The pond is gorgeous and the huge stage setup is magical - there is not a bad spot to watch from, whether you are on the lawns or right up front. The camping area offers an incredible amount of sites but I do warn you that this whole area is quite challenging for us that can walk well. read more

I really like Horning's hideout. It's the best place and I caught two fish horning's hideout is the best place I've ever been at

The place is beautiful but the customer service is lacking. I came here October 2020 to view the location for my wedding. Bob was very nice and showed us the different locations. I was super excited and decided this was the place I wanted my wedding. Fast forward to June 2021. I was told to wait until June 1, 2021 to book my October 7, 2023 wedding. June 1, 2021- Reached out to Bob about a half hour after they opened. At first he sounded real pleasant. He even joked about my caller ID name because it says, "Hello, I am calling." Then when I asked to put my deposit for October 7, 2023, his voice changed and he sounded slightly annoyed. He advised me to send an email and they would send me a quote. I said okay and sent an email. I called the next day because I still hadn't received a quote, no answer. I called again 2 days later, still no answer. I left a message asking for a call back and if they received my email. Waited a week and called again, no answer. June 28, 2021- Still no quote, email, or call back. I sent an email this morning stating I no longer need a quote since apparently they don't want my business. I am now back to square one on wedding venues and it stinks because this was the venue I really wanted. I gave 3 stars because the place is gorgeous. I took 2 stars because I feel like I was made to feel like my wedding isn't important because the date is far out. Also for he lack of communication with me and the rudeness when I said my wedding date. Update: I feel like an a-hole. I didn't realize there was so much going on with the owner of the venue. He was nice enough to email me and explain. So I gave the 2 stars back. I may still have my wedding here given the fact he explained and gave me quote. I honestly, didn't want to look for another venue and I fell completely in love with this one. Thank you Bob! read more

My husband and I just had our wedding here, and we have no regrets! The Creekside venue is *gorgeous*--for natural beauty, you really can't beat it (especially for how relatively close it is to Portland). Bob was very helpful throughout the process, answering all of our questions beforehand and checking in on the day-of and moving things as needed. There were a couple of miscommunications about what was/wasn't allowed at the venue, but I don't see that as anyone's "fault." For potential/future customers: if you're not 100% sure whether a specific activity or item is allowed, I would recommend just checking with Bob in advance. Other than that, everything went really smoothly. Overall, I would definitely recommend Horning's Hideout! read more

Well, where to start. I tent camped here over the weekend with my 4 year old grandson. The place is gorgeous ok! However; I never knew the tent sites were walk in!! Can you imagine with a 4 year old?? I nearly had the kitchen sink with me! Hauling all of our camping stuff up a 45 degree embankment and then some; I was exhausted. Not to mention our campsite was apparently at the crossroads of many a trail leading to other campsites. We had overly inebriated individuals walking through our campsite at all hours of the night! They were even smoking!! OMG- taboo here at Hornings! Do not tent camp here if you think of tranquil quiet settings in a forest! Weddings, receptions and guests of those partying and sharing all of their music til the wee hours of the morning! I got no sleep in the two nights I was there! The night of three weddings there was conflicting music from each venue shouting at one another from afar; the tent campers in the middle! Then, to top it off... our 4 30'ish guy neighbors played nirvana at the top of their speaker range till after 3 AM!! And walked and talked through our campsite like they were at Disneyland! We had beer cans in our campsite in the morning. Hornings is day use only for me! Great scenery, fishing and paddle boats! If you're going to fish, since every cast you get a fish, plan on no more than 10 minutes! Otherwise, you end up with way too many farmed trout! Fun place; just don't plan to camp if you enjoy sleeping at night! The weddings and receptions looked nice though, but I didn't get invited! read more

Bob was excellent to work with and the venue was everything we had imagined and more. The website is a bit outdated but I was blown away with how beautiful the venue was in person. Bob runs a tight ship and is helpful in all aspects of wedding planning. We made the leap for a destination wedding and booked Horning's Hideout Creekside sight unseen, it was a fantastic decision and I have not had a moment of regret. read more

People of Oregon: Why has this magical locality not yet been yelped?!? It takes a girl from California to be the first? So be it. A 30-minute drive from Portland will bring you to Horning's Hideout, a wonderful, secluded place that caters to the outdoorsy person in you. Beautifully nestled in an Oregon canyon, Horning's offers a gorgeous setting to have a picnic, camp, fish, play disc golf, or just enjoy the scenery filled with tree-lined hills, a beautiful lake, and peacocks. Lots and lots of peacocks. But, the real reason I've ventured to Horning's is because of the the live music events they host on their natural amphitheater. After a few years of legal battles, Horning's has recently been granted venue status once again. I sadly just missed out on the annual Northwest String Summit but I can't wait to visit for another upcoming event. To be honest, I don't even like to camp but I don't mind at all when I'm at Horning's. I love spending a weekend here, listening to my favorite bands, be amongst old and new friends, sleep under the stars and trees, and enjoy all the magical beauty that Horning's has to offer. Oh, and get woken up by the peacocks. Two things about peacocks I didn't know before Horning's: they can fly up into trees and they are loud! If you're a local who hasn't yet been or an out-of-towner like me that needs a place to rejuvenate the soul, go check out Horning's Hideout. Thank you, Bob Horning, for sharing your glorious place with the rest of us. read more

I recently got into disc golfing and have been looking for places to play other than Pier Park. A friend saw this place on a disc golf forum so we headed over on a cold Sunday morning. Even though it was cold, it was bright and sunny. The place was a little difficult to get to from Portland. It didn't take too long but it really feels like you're going out into the middle of nowhere and with all the abandoned vehicles in the woods, it had the feel of Deliverance. A big friendly man greats you upon entrance and collects the extremely modest entrance fee of $4. As you pull into the parking area you have to be very careful because there are peafowl everywhere. My biggest complaint is that there are no cheap maps. You can purchase a map but it's $12 and comes on credit card stock. A minimalist letter size photocopy map of the area would have been nice. However, the course is very well labeled so even without a map we didn't have too much trouble finding our way around. We did two of the three courses while there, the easy (don't call it that) and middle course. I'm not sure if it was because it was cold out or because of its remote location, but there was almost no one else there. We never had to wait to tee up which was really nice and pretty different from Pier Park. Maybe it's different when the weather is nicer. I definitely can't wait to come back and try the last, most difficult course. There are ample trash cans, recycling bins, and bathrooms/porta potties read more

This past September I got married at Hornings Hideout, creekside to be specific. I can't go on enough about how amazing the venue is. It's set close enough in to the city that getting guests to come isn't hard but it's far enough away to forget that we are so close to the city. I made jokes about my wedding, saying I was going to have hundreds of albino peacocks...little did I realize that there actually was one that greeted my at my site on arrival and right before we left the next day. Pricing is insanely cheap, that means they fill up pretty quick and if you want to get married during the Summer you better get there at least 8 months in advance! My favorite part was that on top of the super low rental fee we also go the venue for 24 hours, that left us so much time to prep and tear down without going over. Bob is one stellar dude. I couldn't have asked for a more laid back, helpful and all around friendly guy to work with during such a hectic time. He went above and beyond what was expected and I appreciate him so much. read more

Horning's Hideout - Running up that hill! My wedding at Hornings, this is the hill at the creekside location. - Parks Near Me - North Plains, Oregon

This place is a disc golf mecca. I spent a morning up here with a friend to play a round. There are 3 18-hole courses including a very difficult gold-tee course. We opted for the gold-tee course and paid dearly. We had a blast though. The course is very well laid out and offer a variety of challenges. Almost every hole involved throwing through a patch of heavy forest with some elevation change. Most baskets were perched on a hillside so even the putts were a challenge. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to enjoy the lovely lake and other amenities during my visit but they seemed very pleasant. This is a little island of utopia in the hills outside of Portland. Loved it! read more

It's so nice to be out in nature and all you can hear is the stream in the distance, the blowing of the win through the old trees and the sound of your feet on the earth. What a wicked awesome day I had playing some disc golf. Played the canyon course and was super fun/ worth it. There were some challenging holes and a lot of places to work with your mid range/ throwing putters. Looking forward to playing the other two courses the next time I come. Super convenient "pay to stay" parking meter which took your card. I was a little worried that I was going to have to pay my $4 in change! $4 for each person you bring down. Will for sure be back with some friends ready for a full day of disc golf + some lunch. read more

Highly recommend this venue for anyone who is looking to host an event. read more

Horning's Hideout is amazing. We came here in the middle of a 10 day North-West disc golf trip and this was easily one of the top 3 places we played at. The area is huge, has 3 disc golf courses, fishing pond, various facilities for hosting events and weddings, and even more things to do. The disc golf courses are great. They've got a really easy one, a medium one, and an advanced one. We started on the advanced one and enjoyed it. You've got to be in good shape for it as there is lots of up hill hiking as well as lots of distance. The course was a blast. Really unique throws that were a lot of fun. You will want to go in a group as there is a good chance you will lose a disc and need to search for it. On the steep down hill throw I managed to not hit a tree in sight. My disc flew down the hill until it eventually disappeared. After a few seconds we heard it hit a tree and then began the search. It was a pain, but eventually we found it. We were exhausted after playing the advanced course and the two of us are in fairly good shape and do a good amount of hiking, backpacking, running and biking. You will need to be in good shape for this course and you will need at least a couple bottles of water each. It took us around 2-3 hours to play this course with 2 of us. After that we played the easy course really quick. It was fun to play such an easy course after such a hard one. We were hitting birdies all over the place. It's a fun course and you will come close to an ace multiple times. You can get through this course pretty quick, easily within an hour. We decided it was worth it to stay the night. $20 gets you a night of tent camping for 3 and included all the disc golf you can play. This was awesome, and a great deal since we would have had to pay $4 a person to play disc golf anyways. It's definitely worth your while to stay here a night or two and I'm already looking forward to staying here again for a couple days. They've got 5 minute $5 showers as well, which was really nice after all the hiking. They've also got pay for wifi, which was $10 to use. You likely won't have cell service while here, and as we had some things to plan it was nice that wifi was available. The camping was plentiful while we were there, we were the only ones and had the place to ourselves. They've got electricity as well at each spot. The next day we woke up and played the medium difficulty course. It was a fun course, playing through lots of trees. It was a good, medium difficulty and was a lot of fun. This one is a lot more like your average disc golf course than the other two. They've also got a really nice looking amphitheater and beautiful wedding facilities. I wish someone I know would get married here so I could come down and play disc golf the whole time. It's an awesome place and I really can't wait to go back! read more

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE FOR YOUR WEDDING! Bob Horning is an absolute dick - he swore at women in our wedding party for putting tables on the grass area (that was reserved for tables). He will ride around in his golf cart telling people what they can and can't do the entire time, constantly contradicting the contract he provided. The venue is also unkept and muddy in August/September. read more

I am totally disappointed with this place. I went to take my son fishing and not only did I not see any season closed signs whale driving up their drive way, but they also took $20 for two passes with out giving me $10 back in change. Management is a total joke, once I complained they refused to give me my money back and began to accuse me saying that there was signs up and that I should have read them. Then while leaving the premiases the owner stood in front of the exit wanting a confrontation which I was not going to do with my disappointed son in tow. After I said I was going to leave a bad service review. Take caution everyone. This place does not support Hispanics or people who are transgender. read more

See Dick & Jane enjoy the outdoors See Dick & Jane go fishing See Dick & Jane develop a family legacy Horning's Hideout is definitely a hideout from the city of Portland. It's about 30-40 minutes west from the city. Or 20 minutes away from Hillsboro. Located in a field of trees, hills and grass, you can also bring the fam bam or your dog! The scenery is so relaxing. Very, very chill and great exposure to the great outdoors. I came here on a lovely, sunny afternoon on the weekend to go fishing with the buddies. There is an entrance fee of $3 (per person). If you rent a fishing pole it's only 50 cents and it's pretty much taken off your $3 bill. The same goes for nets, worms (a couple cents as well) and the fish you catch. As a fishing newbie, it was a bit awkward for me to use a fishing pole. I was glad my friend's boyfriend taught me how to use the fishing pole, and to actually cast my hook into the lake. BUT I didn't put the worms on my hook. (I have a fear or touching anything creepy-crawly like worms, slugs, snails - pretty much anything slimy). Unfortunately I didn't catch any fish, but was able to grab a couple twigs and leaves. I was a bit jealous that everyone else who was there was quite lucky to catch a bunch of rainbow trout. There is an area where you can clean your fish before you leave. You must pay for the fish you catch. Whatever you spend there is taken off from the $3 you paid for entrance. The lake that you are fishing in is man made. It's dedicated to Dick Horning, who decided to purchase the plot of land and retire here. He's actually buried nearby the lake. The family has a dedicated gravesite for him. Dick was a Korean War veteran and was exposed to radiation during his service. He developed radiation induced leukemia and passed away in the mid-1980's. His wife, Jane and the rest of his family developed the area because it was his dream. Today, Horning's is run by the family and is going strong. What other things can you do here? - Outdoor weddings - Camping - Concert events - Picnic - Peacock watch - Discgolf What I love about this place is that it's so family centered. There was a bunch of families (big or small) coming and spending quality time fishing. That interaction is priceless. The place is pretty cheap and the employees are very helpful. I wouldn't mind hanging out at this hideout again! ***Dedicated to Dick Horning and my 600th Review*** read more

Extremely rude and unreasonable staff. Would give negative stars if i could. The owner is rude and doesn't really care for the paying visitors. It is the owner's fault if the signs to private areas are not easily visible, especially when public visits to watch wild peacocks roaming freely. There are various ways to let people know about the off limit areas, but insulting them is not one of them, especially when: 1. its owner's fault that the signs are not clearly visible. (I was told that there two signs, one of which i still couldn't see, and the first one i had to walk very close to the said property to notice.) 2. Wrong choice of placement of signs. No sign in obvious areas from where you'd enter. 3. No clear de-markation between public and private space and lastly 4. When you charge people to visit the area. Do not go there. Save your time and energy. read more

If you disc golf you owe it to yourself to find this 36 hole (and soon to be 54) course. If you have a young child, an aspiring angler in your inner circle, or an affinity for chum fed trout you owe it to yourself to find this place. Peacocks abound this lovely setting. Often used as a concert venue for lesser known festivals and widely known among those who follow those lesser known bands. It has recently (past year) been converted into a beautiful, challenging, and engaging course for disc golf. The main coarse has some long holes, some elevated T-pads, quite a few trees, a bog and even a creek. While the "shorter" 18 has some beautiful vistas, fun cage placement and many up and downs. I first discovered this place last year when I was searching for a stocked pond to take my son fishing for the first time. In the past year we have probably visited them over 20 times often bringing along friends or family to enjoy the scenic beauty so close to the city and some easy fishing. Its a great place to go to get away when you don't have the time to actually get away. Just outside of North Plains near Pumpkin Ridge it sits down at the bottom of a windy gravel road. At first glance things are a little sketch, you pass what you hope isn't a home, a run down bus, hmm, but soon you are ew'in and aw'in over the peacocks. As you follow the hand written signs you soon see the small man-made lake. Very picturesque setting for what it is, someones home that has been opened up for the public to enjoy and get a piece of the good life, if just for a few hours. The lake is so well stocked that you can't help but catch a trout with every cast in under 5 minutes... I guarantee it.! The have all the necessary tackle you need (pole, bait, net, stringer) and no license is necessary. It works out to roughly $4 per pound of trout caught and if you like you can leave them for the donation to a homeless shelter or something. (we prefer to grill ours stuffed with garlic, lime, cilantro and a few peppers) You can also catch and release or practice your fly-fishing tech for $7 an hour. The lake also has paddle boats available, bbq facilities, and even camping. They can get busy mid-day on the weekends but during the week you actually can find yourself alone - it's wonderful and scary, which just adds to the excitement. http://horningshideout.com/ read more

A "Welcome Home" sign as you drive down a windy wooded road sets the mood as you head on in to Horning's....which has quickly become my home away from home. Theres something for everyone here, fishing (rumor has it Bob stocks the lake), paddle boats, playgrounds, music festivals, THREE disc golf courses....and my personal favorite, PEACOCKS!!!! My boyfriend=disc golf junkie and i = the poster child for adult ADHD...look something shiny! At hornings, he gets to play, and i get to skip around a beautiful forest wonderland listening to babbling brooks and hoping to find faeries and gnomes, or maybe just a peacock feather.

16 hours ago Only addressing as a Wedding Venue. POSITIVE attributes. Private..Rustic but bathroom are good..Settings are all beautiful in their own ways. Blank canvas. Nice plants hanging flowers NOT SO GREAT No cell phone service..Totally everything except table, chairs, tablecloths must be hauled in and out. Running water isn't drinking quality . STEEP drive/walk ways.. Brides room primitive..poor lighting Another thing to bring in hang take down lights.Walk way to bathroom is unlight and very dark. Not very safe for older people or those with poor vision. Owner is intense in his rules but other sites music was on after midnight so rules not universal. VERY BEST QUALITY there.

We went to Horning's Hideout to play Frisbee gold today. The woman who owns the place was super nice and gave us a little history when we paid her the $3 a person per day to play. The peacocks are hilarious to see strutting around and were surprisingly chill about our dog. They are very dog friendly at the hideaway so long as you scoop and make sure to keep them on leash. (There are at least two dozen peacocks hanging out and even the best behaved dog might want a little chase if hes not on a leash.) Also they sell chips, soda and cookies with an honor system bucket so make sure you bring cash and small bills since there likely won't be anyone to make change. We played the first course which seems be all Par 3 holes but they are pretty challenging as most the course is in the woods. My advice is to wear hiking boots rather than sneakers and to dress warmly. As the owner told us, they tend to be about 8 degrees cooler year round. Also they have some streams running through the course so the ground can be a little wet and slippery in places. (Especially in the fall with all the leaves on the ground.) The course was very pretty and I'm very impressed by the newly poured pads. Also the course tends be very well marked. The pins have large numbers on them that you can see from far away so you can be pretty certain you are shooting for the right pin. They get four stars instead of 5 from me because some of the pads are pretty close to the previous holes pins and that could easily lead to someone getting smacked by a disc if the oncoming golfers aren't being careful. read more

"Camping is available in this wonderful setting, with either tent or RV sites. Tent camping is either in the woods or in more open areas," The quote above and the ones below are from their website. The camping is in a horrible setting. Your better off in a KOA. We were tent camping an given a choice of two crummy RV sites. Both with hardly any flat space. Also when we made reservations they failed to mention a Intel company picnic was the same day and right next to our camping spot choices. Then the water access was not set up. The warrior dash was a couple days before our camping so they took all the knobs off the water and we asked repeatedly and we never were give them in our two days camping. As the other review said this place is a real dump. "When checking in for camping you MUST ARRIVE before 8 PM. For those that play disc golf, your disc golf fees are also covered during this time, noon till noon. " Our whole camping party was woken up at 3am by someone driving in an setting up their tent and hammering in tent stakes. Disc golf is not included. Disc golf course fees are. You must rent a disc even when camping! The whole operation is done very un-professional and confusing. If there is a disc sitting outside the place they call a office do not use you will be charged no matter what. "Horning's Hideout is truly a land of enchantment and has the best camping in the Portland - Washington County area. A land where you will find quiet relaxation in an uncrowded private country getaway. Unlike pulic campgrounds where one sometimes has concerns about ones neighboring campers, our private campground offers real piece of mind and the security that your neighboring campers will not disturb you. Quiet enough that in the morning you may find tracks a few yards off mapping where deer or elk have passed through" Like I said not quiet not beautiful not good. The workers ride around all day and mornings in loud golf carts. Sadly it was a real bummer for our group. I suggest saving yourself the let down and go anywhere else. read more

A random, woodsy area that was recommended to me by a friend. It costs $4/person to go to the park. + lots of peacocks. Saw some baby ones too. + large disc golf court + fish trout for free. The $4 admission fee gives you access to rods, bait and hooks...everything you need to fish for free. You can also clean the fish there. You have to keep any trout you catch. The fish costs $6/lb. A group of us fished for a hour and got 6 little fishes, which ended up costs us $12...yup, our fishes only weighed 2 pounds. They were that small. + paddle boats available for rent. $5/ hour I think. read more

Our daughter's wedding was at Horning's Hideout at Lakeside venue and it was perfect. Staff (Kelli and Bob among others) did as promised and more. We've never had better service and the setting was beautiful. Truly a magical place. Very nice facilities too. We intend to go back just for picnic. Looks like it would be great for corporate events too. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. read more

I absolutely loved this place! It was my first time visiting and we enjoyed our stay. Bob was awesome! Very clean bathrooms and well stocked, beautiful lake, and walking paths. I learned how to play disc golf! My son enjoyed walking around and seeing all the peacocks and chickens. Bob allowed us to show up the same day for two day camping. We will definitely be coming back hopefully to have our wedding! Its a beautiful area. One of our steaks to our tent got left behind the soil was very strong and we couldn't get it out, sorry Bob! We enjoyed ourselves, thanks Bob! read more

i'll be the first one to admit... i'm not an outdoors person. i like tech and my consoles and all that indoor-sy stuff. ever since i moved to NP, all i've been hearing about is this place.... my daughter is a total nature adventurer, and she won't shut up about it... so, i had my chance and took her. the road there is a bit scary (you better have a truck or a 4-wheel drive) but once you arrive is sooo beautiful. I was amazed, no joke. my daughter was hype, and my inlaws volunteered to accompany me. we caught a LOT of fish in the pond.... it was amazing. you don't even need to be a skillful fisherman (like me). we even saw a bald american eagle soaring across the lake to grab a fish and fly it up to the nest.... i was not born and raised in this mighty country, but damn... i've never felt so american in my entire life!! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!! anyway... a good place to take the kids for a nice fishing lesson.... and they even have facilities for your RV or camping tents. I will go again, and definitely recommend to others. read more
