A small private campground sits directly beside the main road into Carlisle, where some locals drive fast and loud. Owner Jim lives nearby in a converted silo and stays accessible by phone or text when needed. The 12 sites include full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, though the water runs brown initially and requires a moment to clear.
Most guests are refinery workers on extended stays, with only two sites appearing to house long-term residents. The property accommodates larger dogs with front and back areas at some sites. Payment requires cash only, and the owner sells fresh brown eggs on-site for campsites near Carlisle.
