Are there places on the property to hike?

We want to allow optimum privacy to all campsites so we do not allow guests to venture freely on the property. As of now, the best places to walk are on the main 1/2 mile driveway. There are also wonderful hiking spots at nearby parks like yellow river and stone mountain park and arabia mountain.

How close are the campsites to each other?

You can not see the campsites at all in the spring, summer or fall months. They are several hundred feet from each other. You can slightly see lake tent and cove from the tree house if you look really hard in the winter. You might be able to see string lights from a distance at night but they give optimum privacy but are close enough to walk to one another if you book with a group.
