    8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers. The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to end of Sept and the Gers are all 12 months. weather permitting. Pets allowed, toilets on site, campfires permitted when burn ban is not in place. Now up until this year I have provided Free Firewood. I have quit doing that for a variety of reasons, the least being the cost and the work for me. I am encouraging everyone to purchase a Propane Fire Pit if you don't have one by now. I am not to the point yet of saying no big dogs. Talk to me if you think your "big dog" might not fit in. I don't like running thru other campers sites, so just be respectful. Take them for walks along the lake, not having them run thru everyone else's camp sites. No Yappers, no barking dogs, no yapper's, no pain in the butts. Why would you drive by 46 grocery stores and forget to bring ice? No loud music. I have changed quiet time to 9:00 PM. You need to listen to the chaos/stressful music I suggest you start a band or become a DJ. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”. Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen. I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven. Then there is the silence. The best part of “Heaven”.

    There were very few cancellations this past season.  I appreciate that and thank everyone.  If you did cancel and you didn't get a refund either thru Hipcamp or from me, please let me know. Here are some ground rules and absolutes: No barking dogs.  You can bring 100 dogs and I don't care, BUT NO BARKING DOGS. No older dogs that are overly protective.  I have been bit twice and it was both times older/protective dogs. No over the rediculous alcohol consumtion. NO SMOKING AND THAT INCLUDES NO SMOKING DOPE IN THE GERS.  I absolutely do not allow smoking anywhere on the property in the summer and if you are still a smoker than you need to buy and read my book "101 Ways to Tell the World to Kiss Your Ass" specifically Chapter 33. These are 2 Original Mongolian Gers, direct from Mongolia. They are 1st class and pristine.  I have created an enviornment below glamping and at the same time maintaining comfortablness and magic.  The listing on the Gers was voted #3 in the nation for Glamping, even though I don't consider the experience in the Gers "glamping".  They can accommodate up to 4 adults, it is best 2 adults/w or without kids.    Fall of 2021 I built decks on the front of both of them and put in windows on each side of the doors.  New carpet in The Osprey, reconfigured the furniture/kitchen area in both of them which gives much more room.   Wood stoves in each and lots of fire wood cut to size.  On the cooler mornings/evenings the Buddy Propane Heater works great. Each Ger has a single/twin bed bunk bed style.   There is a sleeper sofa/full size that can accommodate a couple easily.   No one has complained about the mattresses on the sleeper sofa, they are/were both new. There are single air mattresses available.   Reading material and lots of games of all kinds.   I am a big advocate on less is better.  So don't bring everything you own.  If you want, I can provide very nice/warm/comfortable sleeping bags/pillows.  However, you willl need to bring a queen sheet or large sleeping bag insert.    This is semi-primitive.  No running/drinking water.  There is a 5 gallon bucket of water in each Ger out of the lake with a foot pump for washing up and for washing dishes.  The cooking area includes a 2 burner propane stove top/small microwave/small counter top oven/coffee pot/tea pot/all cooking utensils and pots and pans, crockpot, waffle iron, paper plates and paper bowls, paper cups and coffee cups.  There is a BBQ available on the deck of each Ger.  Bring plenty of bottled water.  I always have plenty of bottle drinking water.   There is power to each Ger, lots of lighting.  Lots of daylight coming thru the windows on each side of the door. There is Wifi available and a land line phone in the cabin.    There is an outhouse with a lighted walk way.  No heat in the outhouse, but during the daylight hours, "What a View".   There are also always 3 Porta Pottys down at the lake a very short stroll. No shower facilities. I am a advocate of the "5 P's.  "Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance."  So think about what you are doing and plan for it. I COVID spray after each cleaning thoroughly.   If you have any questions please message me. Also read the directions thoroughly, this is an easy place to get to. When I decided to “share” this property that I happen to be fortunate enough to be one of the owners of, I had no idea the “Hipcamp” experience was going to transcend into what it has become.  8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers.  The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to October 15 and the Gers are all 12 months.    My intention was to create an atmosphere of more than just “going camping”.  I did not want to create a “glamping” type situation, not my style. I wanted to have people realize, feel, appreciate and experience what I get out of being here.  To be able to live on this piece of “Heaven” has a whole host of special meanings to me.  When I lived up here in a 26 ft tipi for 2 ½ years, thru 2 winters I realized that there was more meaning to life than all the wanting, thinking that more money was the answer, the constant need for more stuff, more things.  I realize now that there is more to life than all of those “things”.   The book I wrote "101 Ways to Tell the World to Kiss Your Ass" is an result of that thinking and life style change. Now, what is most important and paramount. in my life…”is me”. That is not me being conceited, or selfish, or missing the mark.  After all, what matters most is how we treat ourselves. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”.  Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen.  I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven.  The chipmunks, the squirrels, all the different birds, the eagles, the osprey, the fish jumping, the deer roaming, the timber martins running thru the trees, the snowshoe rabbits and the occasional black bear. Then there is the silence.  The best part of “Heaven”.    So, while you are here, take a deep breath, close your eyes at the appropriate moment and ask yourself, am I on the right path?  Is what I am doing fulfilling me?  Am I showing my family and friends how much I love them?   Do I really need all that crap I got?  Where do I go from here? My intention was for each one you to not just go camping, or to stay in a Mongolian Ger, but to have an “Experience” that just might lead you to a more fulfilling and happier life. If you haven’t figured it out yet, and if you are not over 40, or there abouts, life goes by in the blink of an eye.  Before you know it, if you are lucky enough to live that long, you are going to be turning 76 years old. What are you going to do with your life between today and then?

    RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
    Looking forward to summer 2024.  Still the same beautiful place. One thing that has not changed for sure: NO BARKING DOGS.  I don't care if you bring 100 dogs, one of them barking is not going to work and I have ZERO TOLERANCE for a barking dog.  You will be refunded and asked to leave, no discussion. I try to create a combination of tents, vans, CVT's, Tear Drops and small pop up campers, Class B's and for sure Camper Vans.. This is not an enviornment large Travel Trailers/Class A's.  Now if you book the entire site you can pretty much configure it anyway you want and there are several bookings which will make it the 5th Hipcamp summer, where there are lots of RV's lined up.  We like to message and discuss the circumstances surrounding your situation, how many adults, how many kids, how many dogs, where are you coming from, what time do you anticipate your arrival.  The booking tells me how long you are staying.  The more I know, then when I review the messages a couple of days before your arrival, the better I know where to place you.  It doesn't make any difference what site you book, they are all number "6". There are fire pits at each camping site.  Firewood is provided.  I am asking for donations on the firewood this summer, it just costs a lot of money. There is a donation box on a tree next to the firewood pile. Fires will be allowed only in the fire pits until a fire ban is placed on the area.  This season there will be a "Money Post" to help contribute to the cost of the campfire wood.  It has just got way to expensive and there is no way I can go out and cut it, even on the property. There are water craft available, canoe, paddle boards and kayaks.   I leave it up to all of you to work out the usage. We meet and greet, I place you in the best site for your circumstances.  If you need it, forgot it, ask, because I probably have it. The fishing can be excellent until it warms up. As ever year, there could end up being a fire ban on camp fires, I adhere to the Forest Service rules/fire ban if in fact it is implemented.  There was no fireban last year. Late arrivals, after 9:00 are hard on me.  I understand circumstances are dictated by work and a host of issues.  Just try to leave sooner than later to arrive sooner than later.   I am a big one for practicing the 5 P's, "Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance". Quiet time is at 9:00PM.  We gave had a few instances where folks stayed up until midnight talking and watching movies and it makes it hard on everyone else.  So please help out on this. All sites are right on the beach and individually placed with trees separating most sites.. It is quite, private and a no non sense environment. Limited alcohol consumption.  No smoking.  No loud music.  No bickering or arguing.  No screaming children, screaming and playing are entirely two different things.  Please don't drive in and out any more than necessary.  Please unload, set up and then take your vehicle up above and back it in/park it. For the vans, CVT;s, ect I realize it is not possible to take your rig up and park it. There are no warnings.  You comply, act like adults, use common sense or you will be asked to leave.   If you show up rowdy, under the influence you will be asked to leave immediately. If you are unsure about anything communicate with us via the Message system on Hipcamp or you can call me at:  five four one five five zero seven four nine nine.  I check my messages on Hipcamp and on the phone no less than every two hours and when busy more often. When I decided to “share” this property that I happen to be fortunate enough to be one of the owners of, I had no idea the “Hipcamp” experience was going to transcend into what it has become.  8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers.  The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to October 15 and the Gers are all 12 months.   My intention was to create an atmosphere of more than just “going camping”.  I did not want to create a “glamping” type situation, not my style.

    RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
    Looking forward to summer 2023.  I have made some changes.  I will list them: There are only 8 sites to book for camping.  With feed back and observation, now there will be a vacant camp site pretty much between each and every one of the 8 sites.  Now, communicate via messaging when there is the need to utilize an extra site for family/friends/etc.  We can make anything with in reason and common sense work.  By taking the 10 campsites down to 8 campsites, it worked verywell so that will remain the same for the forseeable future. 80% plus of the bookings for summer 2023 will be Hipcampers returning for the 2nd/3rd/4th time.  If you look at the calendar you will see July and August are booking up fast.  June not so much and of course I don't know why September is not used more, for the weather can be very nice that month.  There were very few cancellations this past season.  I don't think there was one instance where we kept somebodys booking fee.  If there was, let me know.  I refuse to keep somebody's money for any reason. One thing that has not changed: NO BARKING DOGS.  I don't care if you bring 100 dogs, one of them barking is not going to work and I have ZERO TOLERANCE for a barking dog.  You will be refunded and asked to leave, no discussion.

For the vans, CVT;s, ect I realize it is not possible to take your rig up and park it. There are no warnings.  You comply, act like adults, use common sense or you will be asked to leave.   If you show up rowdy, under the influence you will be asked to leave immediately. If you are unsure about anything communicate with us via the Message system on Hipcamp or you can call me at:  five four one five five zero seven four nine nine.  I check my messages on Hipcamp and on the phone no less than every two hours and when busy more often. When I decided to “share” this property that I happen to be fortunate enough to be one of the owners of, I had no idea the “Hipcamp” experience was going to transcend into what it has become.  8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers.  The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to October 15 and the Gers are all 12 months.   My intention was to create an atmosphere of more than just “going camping”.  I did not want to create a “glamping” type situation, not my style. I wanted to have people realize, feel, appreciate and experience what I get out of being here.  To be able to live on this piece of “Heaven” has a whole host of special meanings to me.  When I lived up here in a 26 ft tipi for 2 ½ years, thru 2 winters I realized that there was more meaning to life than all the wanting, thinking that more money was the answer, the constant need for more stuff, more things.  I realize now that there is more to life than all of those “things”.   This thinking and a huge life style change is where the book "101 Ways to Tell the World to Kiss Your Ass" came from. Now, what is most important and paramount. in my life…”is me”. That is not me being conceited, or selfish, or missing the mark.  After all, what matters most is how we treat ourselves. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”.  Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen.  I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven.  The chipmunks, the squirrels, all the different birds, the eagles, the osprey, the fish jumping, the deer roaming, the timber martins running thru the trees, the snowshoe rabbits and the occasional black bear. Then there is the silence.  The best part of “Heaven”.    So, while you are here, take a deep breath, close your eyes at the appropriate moment and ask yourself, am I on the right path?  Is what I am doing fulfilling me?  Am I showing my family and friends how much I love them?   Do I really need all that crap I got?  Where do I go from here? My intention was for each one you to not just go camping, or to stay in a Mongolian Ger but to have an “Experience” that just might lead you to a more fulfilling and happier life. If you haven’t figured it out yet, and if you are not over 40, or there abouts, life goes by in the blink of an eye.  Before you know it, if you are lucky enough to live that long, you are going to be turning 76 years old. What are you going to do with your life between today and then?

    RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
    Looking forward to summer 2023.  I have made some changes.  I will list them: There are only 8 sites to book for camping.  With feed back and observation, now there will be a vacant camp site pretty much between each and every one of the 8 sites.  Now, communicate via messaging when there is the need to utilize an extra site for family/friends/etc.  We can make anything with in reason and common sense work.  By taking the 10 campsites down to 8 campsites, it worked verywell so that will remain the same for the forseeable future. 80% plus of the bookings for summer 2023 will be Hipcampers returning for the 2nd/3rd/4th time.  If you look at the calendar you will see July and August are booking up fast.  June not so much and of course I don't know why September is not used more, for the weather can be very nice that month.  There were very few cancellations this past season.  I don't think there was one instance where we kept somebodys booking fee.  If there was, let me know.  I refuse to keep somebody's money for any reason. One thing that has not changed: NO BARKING DOGS.  I don't care if you bring 100 dogs, one of them barking is not going to work and I have ZERO TOLERANCE for a barking dog.  You will be refunded and asked to leave, no discussion. I try to create a combination of tents, vans, CVT's, Tear Drops and small pop up campers. This is not an enviornment for Class C's/Travel Trailers/Class A's.  Now if you book the entire site you can pretty much configure it anyway you want and have several bookings which will make it the 4th Hipcamp summer, where there are lots of RV's lined up.  We like to message and discuss the circumstances surrounding your situation, how many adults, how many kids, how many dogs, where are you coming from, what time do you anticipate your arrival.  The booking tells me how long you are staying.  The more I know, then when I review the messages a couple of days before your arrival, the better I know where to place you.  It doesn't make any difference what site you book, they are all number "6". There are fire pits at each camping site.  Firewood is provided.  Fires will be allowed only in the fire pits until a fire ban is placed on the area.  This season there will be a "Money Post" to help contribute to the cost of the campfire wood.  It has just got way to expensive and there is no way I can go out and cut it, even on the property. There are water craft available, canoe, paddle boards and kayaks.   I leave it up to all of you to work out the usage. We meet and greet, I place you in the best site for your circumstances.  If you need it, forgot it, ask, because I probably have it. The fishing can be excellent until it warms up. As ever year, there could end up being a fire ban on camp fires, I adhere to the Forest Service rules/fire ban if in fact it is implemented.  There was no fireban last year. Late arrivals, after 9:00 are hard on me.  I understand circumstances are dictated by work and a host of issues.  Just try to leave sooner than later to arrive sooner than later.   I am a big one for practicing the 5 P's, "Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance". Quiet time is at 10:00.  We gave had a few instances where folks stayed up until midnight talking and watching movies and it makes it hard on everyone else.  So please help out on this.

    Looking forward to summer 2023.  I have made some changes.  I will list them: There are only 8 sites to book for camping.  With feed back and observation, now there will be a vacant camp site pretty much between each and every one of the 8 sites.  Now, communicate via messaging when there is the need to utilize an extra site for family/friends/etc.  We can make anything with in reason and common sense work.  By taking the 10 campsites down to 8 campsites, it worked verywell so that will remain the same for the forseeable future. 80% plus of the bookings for summer 2023 will be Hipcampers returning for the 2nd/3rd/4th time.  If you look at the calendar you will see July and August are booking up fast.  June not so much and of course I don't know why September is not used more, for the weather can be very nice that month.  There were very few cancellations this past season.  I don't think there was one instance where we kept somebodys booking fee.  If there was, let me know.  I refuse to keep somebody's money for any reason. One thing that has not changed: NO BARKING DOGS.  I don't care if you bring 100 dogs, one of them barking is not going to work and I have ZERO TOLERANCE for a barking dog.  You will be refunded and asked to leave, no discussion. I try to create a combination of tents, vans, CVT's, Tear Drops and small pop up campers. This is not an enviornment for Class C's/Travel Trailers/Class A's.  Now if you book the entire site you can pretty much configure it anyway you want and have several bookings which will make it the 4th Hipcamp summer, where there are lots of RV's lined up.  We like to message and discuss the circumstances surrounding your situation, how many adults, how many kids, how many dogs, where are you coming from, what time do you anticipate your arrival.  The booking tells me how long you are staying.  The more I know, then when I review the messages a couple of days before your arrival, the better I know where to place you.  It doesn't make any difference what site you book, they are all number "6". There are fire pits at each camping site.  Firewood is provided.  Fires will be allowed only in the fire pits until a fire ban is placed on the area.  This season there will be a "Money Post" to help contribute to the cost of the campfire wood.  It has just got way to expensive and there is no way I can go out and cut it, even on the property. There are water craft available, canoe, paddle boards and kayaks.   I leave it up to all of you to work out the usage. We meet and greet, I place you in the best site for your circumstances.  If you need it, forgot it, ask, because I probably have it. The fishing can be excellent until it warms up. As ever year, there could end up being a fire ban on camp fires, I adhere to the Forest Service rules/fire ban if in fact it is implemented.  There was no fireban last year. Late arrivals, after 9:00 are hard on me.  I understand circumstances are dictated by work and a host of issues.  Just try to leave sooner than later to arrive sooner than later.   I am a big one for practicing the 5 P's, "Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance". Quiet time is at 10:00.  We gave had a few instances where folks stayed up until midnight talking and watching movies and it makes it hard on everyone else.  So please help out on this. All sites are right on the beach and individually placed with trees separating most sites.. It is quite, private and a no non sense environment. Limited alcohol consumption.  No smoking.  No loud music.  No bickering or arguing.  No screaming children, screaming and playing are entirely two different things.  Please don't drive in and out any more than necessary.  Please unload, set up and then take your vehicle up above and back it in/park it. For the vans, CVT;s, ect I realize it is not possible to take your rig up and park it. There are no warnings.  You comply, act like adults, use common sense or you will be asked to leave.   If you show up rowdy, under the influence you will be asked to leave immediately. If you are unsure about anything communicate with us via the Message system on Hipcamp or you can call me at:  five four one five five zero seven four nine nine.  I check my messages on Hipcamp and on the phone no less than every two hours and when busy more often. When I decided to “share” this property that I happen to be fortunate enough to be one of the owners of, I had no idea the “Hipcamp” experience was going to transcend into what it has become.  8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers.  The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to October 15 and the Gers are all 12 months.   My intention was to create an atmosphere of more than just “going camping”.  I did not want to create a “glamping” type situation, not my style. I wanted to have people realize, feel, appreciate and experience what I get out of being here.  To be able to live on this piece of “Heaven” has a whole host of special meanings to me.  When I lived up here in a 26 ft tipi for 2 ½ years, thru 2 winters I realized that there was more meaning to life than all the wanting, thinking that more money was the answer, the constant need for more stuff, more things.  I realize now that there is more to life than all of those “things”.   This thinking and a huge life style change is where the book "101 Ways to Tell the World to Kiss Your Ass" came from. Now, what is most important and paramount. in my life…”is me”. That is not me being conceited, or selfish, or missing the mark.  After all, what matters most is how we treat ourselves. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”.  Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen.  I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven.  The chipmunks, the squirrels, all the different birds, the eagles, the osprey, the fish jumping, the deer roaming, the timber martins running thru the trees, the snowshoe rabbits and the occasional black bear.

    We experienced heaven!
    Our trip to "Experience Heaven" was a dream. We stayed in the Mongolian ger "Osprey";  Nathan and Brooke were our hosts. They were welcoming, attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond to find ways to help a terminally ill family member with mobility limitations. The ger was cozy and welcoming, with everything needed for a weekend away. Fridge, coffeemaker, toaster, hot water pot, waffle iron. The little woodstove works very well (too well sometimes!) to keep the ger warm. There is a propane heater available which we didn't use. David's books were on hand to enjoy--a narrative of his experiences in Vietnam, and picture/journal binders of his many kayaking adventures. As seen in the many Hipcamp pics, there is a lovely view from the deck of the ger. A stroll down a little hill takes you to the lake, with more beautiful views. Multiple types of watercraft were there for guests to use. A firepit with benches is right beside the lake, perfect for roasting marshmallows and enjoying the company of friends. All in all, we would visit again, and are making plans for a Christmas snow trip (crossing fingers!) Nathan and Brooke, you're the best! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!

    My stay at the ger was really nice! I ended up switching to the Osprey rather than the Genghis because the view was a little better. The ger was fully stocked, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the lake through the trees. The outhouse was also very close by.

    Lake oasis
    David was friendly and so was his pup! The boats available were awesome. I had a beautiful morning on the kayak. The lake is incredible and all camping spots are spaced out for privacy. Clean, gorgeous. Can’t wait to be back

    This was a beautiful experience, a combination of the nature that takes your breath away every time you look out over the lake (I got to see ospreys, thunderstorms, the sunrise) and David’s generosity and conversation. Both are truly inspiring. I couldn’t recommend this place more and I hope to come back someday.

    Peaceful, quiet camping
    Newberry Caldera is one of our favorite places to visit, and David’s sites gave us the luxury of quiet and privacy that we don’t get as often in public campgrounds. The lake is beautiful, the location can’t be beat, and the fellow campers had the same desire for peace that we were after. We loved that there were various non-motorized boats available to borrow and plenty of wildlife to share space with.

    This spot is lovely, quiet, well maintained, and a true gem. David is a caring host with real respectful stewardship of the land. The listing is accurate: it’s heaven. Part of our decision making process was helped by reading the descriptions… we really wanted camping that spoke to others looking to just BE. Quiet contemplation… with kayaks! :)

    My friend and I had a wonderful time camping in the peaceful oasis David has cultivated. We spent time using the kayaks, walking on the shore of the lake, and watching wildlife from the from porch of our lodging. We will definitely try to come again.

    Our family loved our stay! It was a perfect orientation to the lake in a pristine setting. Dave sets the tone for a peaceful place to reconnect with nature and with each other. So many "wow" moments and natural surprises to enchant. The hardest part was coming home...we will be back for sure!

    This place is magical, absolutely beautiful and David (and his dog Stormy:) were a delight to talk to. The views are spectacular and the waterfowl abundant, it truly is a slice of heaven! We would go back in a heartbeat and were sad to leave, definitely go for more than a day! David provides kayaks, canoes, sups and has a wealth of knowledge to share, highly recommend!

    Serene, rustic, and perfect.
    David was an incredible host! When my husband and son arrived, it was raining, so he offered a 10 x 10 tent, so they would have a dry area to set up under. He was perfectly communicative and even anticipated our needs, helping us prepare for our trip. My husband and son enjoyed getting to know him and I wish I’d gotten to meet him. He sounds like an incredible man. The property is breathtaking. Your campsite is right on the water. It is a serene lake. It is a bit off the beaten path, but isn’t that what camping is about? Getting away from everything? We can’t wait to go back. Thank you, David, for everything. Thank you for your service and thank you for continuing to serve people by offering this much-needed escape.

    Amazing!!!!!!
    Such a beautiful and amazing place. 10 out of 10 recommended!!!! The camp site was a few feet from the lake with No mosquitoes!!!!!!! (We can't stand a camp sites infested with mosquitoes) fishing was great and dave had some small boat for us to use. This was our first time visiting and I cant describe how amazing it was. Dave was super and came to touch base with us about a small thunderstorm rolling in, going above and beyond expectations of a host. Truly an incredible site and an an amazing host.
