    Saw a small sign on the side of the road. Wasn't prepared for how awesome the English camp was…read more There are original buildings, a formal garden, and a hiking trail up to a small cemetery. Further up is a gorgeous lookout from Young Hill. This is a National Park so you can get your passport stamped. The husband and wife volunteers are quite knowledgeable and willing to share info on the camps history or the Osprey that are currently nesting up in the woods. They set up a camera so you can watch the birds on an iPad from the barracks. In the back of the main building there is a 12 minute video explaining how the British and Americans fought over a boar being shot. Eventually the British left and Americans took over. This was an excellent experience. Highly recommend not driving past the small sign!

    Well, first we met Dennis and Christina, wonderful people managing the place to national Park…read moreservice husband and wife team. They were amazing and so nice. I'm handicapped and they even gave me a ride back to my car in a people mover from the property. The hill is a little bit steep but doable slowly for people with a cane. I am a disabled veteran, so I really appreciate their hospitality. The gift shop was quite amazing. It offered not only a lot of items that you would like to see if there was also food on the property that you could get from vendors one of Mr. nonprofit that supports the park. But I really liked the English garden and the barracks were well-maintained and they have a 17 minute video that explains the history of it which came in very handy understanding its progress and process. If we have longer, I will return and spend more time looking around, but if we don't, I know I got to the place that I thought was a pretty special place. Highly recommended.
