Jan and Ryan were such great hosts :). I’m super glad I picked this spot, they even let me have the bigger site than what I booked as I was the only one there. The views were gorgeous, I even saw the stars :). The day I was leaving my car wouldn’t start and Jan was so generous to search all over for his jumper cables even while he was in the middle of moving.. so kind!!! Will definitely go back :).

Weekend Trip to 4D Creek Ranch

Beautiful, peaceful setting, lovely view from the kitchen area. We enjoyed seeing/hearing the cows and sheep and some wild deer that wandered through. Bonus was hearing the coyotes singing at night. The common area kitchen area was set up very nicely. We enjoyed sitting at the picnic table playing games and having our meal there. Deanne generously let us stay in the yurt at site 5, though we had only reserved for a tent site. The campground is still a little rough around the edges, however. That’s understandable since this is their first year. They are still installing a horseshoe pitch and doing more landscaping. Right now it is not so great for tenting — no grassy spots to pitch a tent. And the common area is just bare dirt ground. But I’m sure it will be all nicely set up for next season. I would recommend this place.

We stayed here so we could go to the Armstrong fair. It was a lovely spot away from the hustle-bustle of the fair, even though it was only a short drive to Armstrong. Clean porta potty, tidy sites, lovely host! I'm a very light sleeper and I had to wear ear plugs as some of the cars that drove along the back roads were super loud. But my family wasn't bothered... just a note for the light sleepers to have ear plugs. Heard owls in the night. Definitely recommend this spot.

We had such a wonderful stay at Herman Lake Wilderness Campground! 🌿✨ Catieln is the most friendly and welcoming host, and her beautiful family made us feel right at home. The campground is so quiet and peaceful—it was exactly the getaway we needed. Our kids loved petting the sheep, picking berries, spotting butterflies, frogs, and lizards—and were thrilled to see a baby moose! We enjoye fishing at Herman Lake, and White Lake (just minutes away) was also fantastic. This is truly a beautiful place, we will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly escape! ❤️🐑🎣🦋

This is a beautiful and remote campsite. The hosts are really friendly and have a very cute pup! The sites are private and the toilets are very clean. There is a foot pump tap by the toilet so you can wash your hands. Site 9 has a water tap (not potable) beside it so you can easily clean your dishes. I highly recommend this site. We had a great time exploring the property, picking berries, and looking at the stars at night. Thanks so much!
