Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
As you enter into our little oasis, you'll see why we want to share the space. It is a great environment to get away from the city or pass through on your road trip. The driveway enters down to our creek-side camping where a hammock under a tree awaits a quiet reader or a bird watcher. It's just a 30 minute drive to the beach, a short walk to the neighborhood park- equipped with a playground, or a five minute drive to a local ecological reserve containing multiple trails. If you'd like to hang out on the property, we offer a table and chairs with each campsite to lounge in while enjoying the fresh air and nature. In addition, we have a propane-powered fire pit, an outdoor kitchen with full amenities, including, hot water, a two burner stove, a toaster oven and a BBQ area. The bathroom now includes a flush toilet, sink and shower. Fun Fact: Harbison Canyon was named after John Stewart Harbison - aka the King of the Bee Keepers. He arrived with over one hundred colonies of bees in 1874 and within 7 years he became the worlds largest honey producer. Today there are just a few bees in the area.

I would return again
It was very pleasant to car-camp near the waterfall, and the outdoor kitchen with small refrigerator and indoor shower and toilet were nice pluses. Laura was very welcoming.

Creekside Campsite
Camp here for sure
Excellent quaint campsite. No fires allowed but there’s such a cute and functional outdoor kitchenette and a propane fire pit that was really nice at night. Super shower and bathroom for hot water and toilet. Everything was neat and tidy. The creek and the frogs at night are nifty too.
