Bare Bones Bivouac was beautiful and peaceful. Great scenery - an easy walk - hot shower - and extremely friendly and helpful host in Michele. I highly recommend staying here - whether for camping or for Airbnb.

Michele is great. She was super helpful and has set up a property with great features like a warm shower and a hut with games, water, coffee and air conditioning.
Don't miss checking out her beautiful custom pottery.

We only spent one night at Michele's campsite. The place is beautiful. Michael was thoughtful and we really enjoyed having a warm shower after a long journey. We would definitely go back again if in the area.
