We provide a refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, oven with stovetop, dishwasher, and kitchenware to make your stay comfortable.

Weekend Trip to Hardwoods Campground
This was my first time at a campground as unique and freeing as hardwood camp. I enjoyed every aspect of my weekend from the outdoor shower, to the lit walking trails. It's a one of a kind experience that you can absolutely see the attention to detail that Jeremy put into this place.

We brought our 4 kids for their first camping trip and it was such a fun time. This is the ultimate “glamping” experience. There is so much to love about this location! The different hiking trails and waterfalls were simply beautiful. I have nothing negative to share. This was a great idea for our family. The staff at the park were so kind.
Thank you Timberland & Hipcamp for suggesting this adventure.
