We absolutely loved camping at McIntosh Pines. The site is gorgeous, shaded and very private. The dogs loved getting to run off leash and explore the well kept pathways through the woods. Chad answered all my questions promptly and provided excellent insight to the property. We woke up to a beautiful blue Herron every morning flying along the creek!! Natural beauty at its finest. Would definitely recommend and would love to return in the future!

Peaceful Soitude
Tent
Chad & Elizabeth were so accommodating and easy to book with. I was there on a particularly hot day and Chad & Elizabeth checked in on me (via message) to make sure I had plenty of water. So thoughtful. I was there for some solitude to get some work done and Chad & Elizabeth respected my request. Beyond that, the site is phenomenal. So peaceful, excellent views, and great hosts! Highly recommend!

Beautiful property with a wonderful creek! The kids played all day in the creek and enjoyed seeing all the tiny fish and crawdads! The site is shaded and cool even on a hot day. Very private, no other campers. Some normal traffic noise in the distance you can hear at night but nothing crazy, slept like a baby! Chad & Elizabeth were amazing hosts and able to help us when we needed more firewood while we were there! It was a lovely get away into the woods to relax in nature!

I took my 6 yr old grandson camping for the first time, he loved it! The property is beautiful. We went on a hike with our 4 dogs, who also had a blast running free. Very private and wooded. A great experience

Beautiful backwoods space w a scenic view and trails. It was a great way to escape for a weekend away w the dogs and our rooftop tent. With most of the leaves off the trees, we we able to see a gigantic hawks' nest although it appeared the couple had not yet returned for the season. It was spectacular to see amongst the backdrop of the creek valley. Very kind host and hostess.

Great Visit!
Tent · With pets
This site was just what we were looking for! We stayed in a rooftop tent on our truck and were able to drive right to the site and found a great level spot to park. Our dog was happy to be able to run around. The campsite was clean and firewood was there waiting for us. Our hosts were responsive when we had questions. We would definitely come back if we’re in the area again.

Very private and awesome view
Tent
One of the best campsites we have been to so far. Back in the woods nestled on the side of a hill with a view of the ravine and creek. We loved that it was the only site on the property and was very private. Having a campsite stick out is hard because they are a lot of times very similar, but the large fire ring, trash bag lift, wood chopping logs, plenty of flat tent spots, and great view really make this place stand out. We can’t wait to come back and explore more. Thanks for hosting us

I loved staying McIntosh Pines. It was a peaceful and private area with plenty of room to walk and hike around. Also, I had an issue that Chad graciously helped me. Would love to come back.

This campsite is GORGEOUS. Acres of land to wander, multiple great sites for hammocks and tents. Incredibly secluded, far from the owners' house and tons of trees for privacy. The stream was mostly dry thanks to the recent drought, but we still managed to get water for emergency fire extinguishing. There were a couple benches, a good table, a really nice fire ring, and even a little shovel (the site is truly primitive, you might need that shovel). We could hear Route 62, but it was quiet overnight and the sleeping was excellent. 10/10 will book again!

I had a wonderful time tent camping on Chad & Elizabeth’s land! It was a very tidy campsite with a very nice fire pit and plenty of flat ground for your tent! So nice being able to walk some of the trails and enjoy the late summer weather.

Great private spot!
Tent · With kids
This place was great! We had 9 people with 4 large tents, which is kind of tight but we utilized the well maintained driving path for a tent and to play Cornhole. They only rent to one person at a time so the entire wooded area is all yours!
Plenty of trails to explore and we seen deer every morning.
Absolutely be back!

Always A Great Experience!
Tent
I've stayed at McIntosh Pines now 4 times and I will continue to return. The site is gorgeous, sitting atop a ridge with nice views down into a creek valley. I really appreciated the upgrades to the site since the last time I visited -- a new fire pit, the new bridge, and the beer cap tree! Definitely take the time to walk the trails in the meadow and through the woods, down into the creek valley.

Simple, quiet and laid back camping
Tent
Really enjoyed the peacefulness of this Hipcamp for one night. Since there is only one spot, we had the place to ourselves and that’s what makes the great as you can enjoy some quiet time in the woods without other campers nearby. Fire ring was really nice and we purchased a bundle of firewood which was at the site when we arrived. Would highly recommend for those seeking a simple, quiet and laid back time in the woods. It’s far enough away from the city, but also close enough to where it’s a not a long haul to get to.

Solo in the 'tosh
Tent
We'll groomed property and single campsite means you get the place to yourself. The updated firepit is one of the nicer ones I've seen, dare I say nicer than some state park's.
The creek running along the property was mostly dry, it is mid August after all.
Trails are well groomed. Campsite is very clean and the provided hammock is a really nice touch.
Would definitely visit again.
