CAMPER BEWARE!!
The land was very pretty, but I resent paying for a site advertised as having certain amenities when, in fact, it didn't. I paid extra to have a site with a propane fire pit. I had been in contact with the owner about arriving and getting an orientation to the camp; he was very timely in responding. He told me that he was about to close camp for the season and that he had been called away and could not meet me there. He said I would be the only camper there and that he would leave the gate open to the camp. When I arrived the pit was there, but not the propane. The following day I messaged him to ask if I was getting the propane I paid for and to tell him I expected a partial refund for the previous night or double that if I didn't get propane for the 2nd night either. Late that afternoon a caretaker for a neighboring campground came by with the propane and helped me get it going. This person told me that the owner had gone to drive cattle - another family business. The owner never responded to my message about a refund - pure silence. I guess he only wants to talk to people when they are putting money in his pocket. I sent a complaint to HipCamp and they say he refused to issue any refund. I have zero respect for anyone who willingly cheats people. So CAMPER BEWARE - maybe you'll get what you pay for or maybe he will cheat you. Maybe at the end of the season he doesn't care about treating his last customer fairly. Glad I'm not him.

This was a phenomenal trip. Matt was accommodating and incredibly nice. We stayed in campground 5, and despite the family in campground 6 having, in their words, 'a dance party,' we could barely hear them and slept well to the sound on the nearby South Fork of the American. Our site had a bench/table, propane fire pit for S'mores, well cleared flat area for the tent and a close by spot for the car that was far enough I couldn't see it (sweet spot, as far as I'm concerned). There was a nearby running water toilet by the hose bib for portable water, in addition to closer by port-a-poties. In other words the perfect setup for a car camping trip with the kids.
I would recommend staying here, and my 7 y/o has already asked to return.

Awesome spot
Very nice spot next to the river. The provided canvas tent was great. The Propane fire pit was a awesome bonus.

Matt's place on the American River was fabulous. Matt met us at the site and couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. There were six of us in our camping site and it was spacious and lovely. We appreciated the super clean restrooms, and the propane campfires were a special treat. This was our first Hipcamp experience, and it was excellent. Thank you, Matt.
