Water views and cool vibes!
Excellent spot! Easy 20 minute drive from UNCW as we were here for parents weekend. Site 1 had great privacy and the shelter gave us the opportunity to not have a rain fly on our tent which was awesome to wake up and see the colorful sky at sunrise. Jane was very accommodating and eager to support our trip. We stayed a little later on Sunday to enjoy time on the water with SUPs and our kayak. The aluminum boat cart was key with four vessels. We woke to happy sounds of folks leaving the nearby harbor/marina. Our family strolled along the back path to grab lunch on the upper deck at The Sailfish Restaurant. Ballyhoos is a cool spot under the restaurant to grab cold beverages and chill by the water while checking out boats cruising in the ICW. We look forward to four years of popping into this Hip Camp while we visit our child at UNCW. Too much fun! Oh, definitely eat breakfast at Cast Iron Kitchen! Thank you for offering up space on your impressive piece of heaven. Cheers!

This site was so lovely and the host could not have been nicer. Even though you are next to her house and a neighbor you have all the privacy you need. The camp site on the water was really what makes this great. The view is during sunrise is unbeatable. Would definitely stay again.

Lush Coastal Getaway!
This was a beautiful location. We camped at site 1 and it had good privacy, a beautiful covered structure that you could hang hammocks or lights from, semi-wild herbs that help with the biting insects, and a somewhat primitive but effective method of showering which came in handy. Tips with that: Let the water run for a minute and the smell from the well water will start to go away, and also keep anything that needs to stay dry on a stool or 8+ feet from the shower if on the ground so water doesn't run over to it. Jane was very hospitable and friendly during our stay, giving us a full tour of the property and allowing us to pick some herbs for food we had brought. Also offered a gallon of filtered water from the house. You can enter the water from the coast, water shoes recommended, and there's plenty of area off the campsite to walk around and enjoy the nature. Beautiful property, highly recommend.

This is such a beautiful place. Jane met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property on her gator. She was so sweet. We woke up and walked over to the river to watch the birds and the sunrise. I would definitely come back.

Jane’s property is beautiful, and she’s a great host! In a world full of golf course yards, it was refreshing to see her natural landscaping. Site 1 is tucked away nicely because of this, and the pavilion is a perfect place to hang hammocks. In the summer, I would recommend bringing a tent to sleep in to provide a safe haven from the prevalent bugs. Hammock sleeping would be great for less buggy seasons! We took advantage of the waterfront and brought our kayaks, and greatly appreciated the dolly Jane had on hand to cart them down to the water. We are looking forward to staying here again!
