We had a wonderful time tent camping at Mike’s basecamp. Great views of nearby mountains and stars on clear nights. Easy drive to nearby shopping and coffee. Mike knows so much about the local area and happy to make recommendations. The awning on site provided welcome shelter from frost and rain on our tent.

Perfect Remote getaway!
Great remote spot!!! Mike was very knowledgeable of the area and answered all of our questions immediately!!! Perfect place for a little getaway from it all. He allowed use of his fire pit and wood, gas stove, and had electric hook up for anything needed. There is a plenty of water given his outdoor well pump and has a bathroom set up for use (covered and private). We pitched our tent under his camper shed given frost (if tenting would recommend an air mattress), but we stayed warm and dry both nights. Beautiful hikes, eateries and breweries within 15-30 minutes! Thanks again, Mike!!!

This is a great spot -- off the beaten path, but not too far. It was very quiet except for some mooing from cows at a nearby field. The Adirondack chairs are very, very comfortable and the access to a flush toilet was tops. Michael was super helpful and had lots of recommendations for us. Would go back in a second!

Mike is super easy to reach and talk with. He gave a lot of helpful tips for the campsite and the area. The campsite is perfect, back on a quiet road near town with plenty of space.

Weekend Bike Park & Fly Fish Send
Awesome spot with more amenities than we could have ever wanted! The ground is pretty sloped or covered in gravel, so could be slightly difficult for tents (we hammocked between the vertical poles of the structure over the RV). There's also a road right below the site that is NOT BUSY but definitely means that people can see you and your gear if they do come by. The hose water on site is clutch, especially after a dusty day at the bike park and having a few Adirondack chairs on site is also amazing, there was also a BBQ with a full propane can and lighter. The host was insanely helpful and seemed to know the area well and really want us to have the best possible time while there. My favorite part about the property was the fireflies that not only blinked at a strobe rate, but also blinked in sync with each other!! Thanks for a great spot to base our weekend trip from!

Peaceful
Michael was a great host. Well supplied campsite and easy to find. The views were amazing and the quiet nights for sleeping were some of the best I’ve had. Definitely look forward to staying again!
