Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
This property was used by the Shoshone Indian tribe as a summer camp area. Later after the pioneers came they set up a dance floor and had parties here. The dance floor has since overgrown. This property has also been the host to never dams. It has been in our family for many years and we have enjoyed it. Learn more about this land: The campsites are located in a wooded area so lots of shade. 2 sites are creek side along maple creek and the other has a small stream and a pond. All sites have a fire pit available. All sites are carry in carry out. Easily accessible with a four wheel drive. You will need to cross maple creek to reach site 1. The road down to the river bottoms is a bit steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended. This area is ideal for tent camping.

Site 1 - Secluded Maple Creek River bottoms
Perfect site, a bit tricky access
Loved the sight so beautiful and lots of wildlife around. Accessibility was tricky because of steep rocky roads and Sight 1 you cross the stream to get to it. Which the far side of the stream is a bit steep and rocky. Thought site 1 was closer to the bathroom but site 2 is actually closer. Wish the ad had said 4 wheel drive preferred or precarious access when wet. It’s not bad in dry weather but in snow or rain it would have been really hard to get in and out without 4 wheel drive. Luckily it was dry and we didn’t have too much trouble getting in or out just a scare/bump here and there/a running start going back out at the top.

Great site!
It was a wonderful site! Lots of room, loved that we could have our dogs with us and have fires in the fire pit. Highly recommend!

Great stay
Great spot. Drive thru farmland and end up at a great little spot just off the road. A little hard to find turn but got there. Site 1 was a great spot. Site 4 and 3 also looked awesome and fits a lot of people. Overall great experience would return. Also wood on site some soggy but some ready to burn

Overall pleasurable stay!
This is primitive camping. The hill is very steep to get to any of the camp spots. And to cross the river to site 1 is pretty steep going into and out of the creek! Site 4 is down that steep hill and then side-hill up and back down another steep hill. Sites 2 and 3 are near each other with site 2 being pretty open with not many trees. The others have plenty of tree cover. The sites are fairly spread out, so that’s nice unless your a group. There was one porta potty for all 4 sites, so it was pretty gross and fly filled by the end of a weekend. Over all it was a pleasurable stay, but the road structures could definitely use some improvement.
