I normally prefer to camp tucked into the woods, but this high spot in the middle of the field was nice and dry after weeks of rain.

The Barn Door Bus is a unique 5-window bus stationed atop a bluff in the forest, built by Logan Phipps in 2021. The first floor includes seating that converts to a bed, a beautiful wood stove, counter space, a desk, and a sink. Climb through the ceiling "emergency exit" and enter into a bedroom with another double bed. The accommodation has a rooftop deck, private fire pit, and a compost toilet. The entire spot is complete with solar power and drinkable water from a sink. The bus requires a small hike from your vehicle. A heated outdoor shower just down the hill. Other things to note Please note that the Barn Door Bus has some accessibility restrictions. Getting to the bus requires a five minute walk on a trail through the forest with some inclined sections. At nighttime, the pathway is illuminated by lights. Accessing the second floor bedroom requires being able to climb up a sturdy wooden ladder and use your arms to pull yourself up onto the platform.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite is a haven for those seeking tranquility amidst nature. Most visitors rave about the well-kept grounds, clean facilities, and the delightful addition of a heated outdoor shower. The location is perfect for exploring nearby mountains and trails, making it a great base for adventurers. One downside mentioned was the lack of shade in some areas, so plan accordingly.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill, affordable spot to get away. The land itself was well maintained, the heated shower was amazing (!!!) and the bathrooms well stocked/cleaned. Surrounded by the mountains and plenty of trails & swim spots around. Great spot, will be returning

This is my second time at this camp site, the last was 3 years ago. The upgrade to the potable water and charging station only made this an even better experience! The staff was super helpful and reached out to see if I needed anything after my first night. My dog loved that there was another dog on the grounds to run around with and she loved running through the stream! Definitely will go back again!

Such a magical feeling place. Everything was perfect. You can tell that these people have their act together and know exactly what they're doing hosting. I hate that. I only got one night to stay there due to an issue back home at work. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying here.
