The teardrop itself is pretty much what we were looking for, though the area had some issues. The trailer is about 75 yds up a path through the woods and across a private driveway, so it is inconvenient to lug a cooler, campstove and food up and down the hill, especially since you need to bear-proof overnight and there is no bear locker at the site. When we were there, the shower was only enclosed on three sides and open to other campsites on the fourth, and the property looked like a construction site, with half-completed projects scattered about. It did give us a chance to try sleeping in a teardrop for a low price, so the overall experience was ok.

The small trailer was a nice touch which kept the two of us very warm and comfortable for the night. The trailer and our grounds area were very clean and well kept, including the fire pit. I did expect it to be a little more private but it’s still a great alternative if you want to get away from a busy public campground. It’s up a trail in the host’s backyard and just off the visible main road, and we did not have any other tent/trailer neighbors. Both nights were very quiet and calm and we felt reasonably safe there with just a few cars passing by, and a rare pedestrian on the road through the day. As much as I love animals I was not the biggest fan of the three separate adult dogs that came to our site looking for food in the mornings. Two did not have collars. They were not territorial, barking/growling or aggressive towards us, or grab food out of my hands, but I’m reasonably cautious about free roaming dogs with no owners in sight. I still recommend this host, especially if you’re wanting to visit Golden Canyon Park.

This felt more like squatting rather than camping. The camper is located on an upper tier ‘grove’ of a mobile home site strewn with abandoned vehicles., patrolled by stray dogs (some aggressive) right below a driveway that kicks dirt and rocks down when cars drive by.
We made camp at dusk, setting in for a night among the stars. The site’s trees obscure much of the view, so we went wandering for an open space, but we’re rebuffed by the first and least friendly of the stray dogs we’d encounter. Back at the campsite, we started a fire only to retreat to the camper due to the dirt plumes and another stray dog - who’d again be barking at our door at first light.
The checkin was easy (although done by a neighboring camper), host was responsive via the app, and actual camper is nice and comfortable, but the overall experience wasn’t relaxing or positive.

I have mixed feelings about leaving this review because I know it might sway some people not to stay here and I truly loved the camper, the location, and the hosts could not have been kinder or more accommodating. The site itself was above average and very sweet. However, around 4:30am a man watched me pee outside and yelled at me from within the woods (where there was no house), leading both me and my boyfriend to be petrified and leave the site as soon as the sun came out. The host said she had no idea who this could be, and that it was likely a trespasser. I leave this review only because if I was going to stay here and this happened to somebody else at the site, I would be upset if that person didn’t inform me.

What a phenomenal host couple and site location! We loved our opportunities to get to know them, learn about their favorite hikes and spots to explore, and used their advice to make our weekend special. The hobbit home was cozy and clean. We loved building a fire and cooking right outside our door after a long day hiking. Thank you both, and we hope to be back again!

Full disclosure, we didn’t stay the night. My camping partner was not into 8 hours of rain.
However the biggest factor in that decision was that we weren’t allowed to have a fire at our actual camp spot. We would have to share with others camped on the property at a small pit on gravel, very close to their home. If this had been noted in the listing I wouldn’t have booked. The host was super friendly and helpful, gave us a full rundown.

This site was very beautiful and private but if you’re not a dog person I would not recommend it. There are numerous dogs that were Roaming free. So I would recommend putting away any food that these dogs can get into. The host is very nice and accommodating.

Nice space but there are dogs that roam around This wasn’t mentioned until we were about to unpack .. we had 2young children with us and having big dogs just walking through our set up was scary. They were nice but dogs can be unpredictable . Also There was also a long plastic pipe going through the site. Not pleasant to
