“After the loss of our 16 year old daughter, Kalyn Grace, on April 14, 2019, our family has decided to take a leap of faith and jump headlong into a new chapter of our lives,” the owners of the owner of Willow Springs Campground and Venue posted on their Facebook page. “Our goal is to start a new business and enter into new life opportunities. This will enable us to live a life free from the bonds of modern society and to build a community of friends and family. Family is crucial, as is meeting new people, spreading good vibes, hearing great stories and creating new ones.”
Along with festivals, the venue can also be used for weddings,, summer kids camps, and more.
“We have learned all too well that old expression ‘Life is short,’ the Facebook post continued. “Through the hardships and trials of life we have learned a deeper, more intimate love. We understand the need for love; even more, the need for restoration within. We want to spread our love and enjoyment to all good people and to help those who just want to fit in somewhere. Our grounds are open to all genres of people looking to enjoy a more balanced life in a peaceful and beautiful setting along with other good souls.”
Willow Springs is 42.5 acres of private land snuggled into the Shawnee National Forest.
