Our stay at The Happy Camper was everything we had hoped for and more. The setup was thoughtful, cozy, and incredibly comfortable; the bed alone was one of the best we’ve ever slept on while camping. The entire space was spotless and clearly cared for with so much attention. Davida, the owner, is truly something special. She was helpful, kind, and went well beyond expectations to make us feel welcome. You can tell she pours her heart into this HipCamp spot. My 6-year-old absolutely loved it! She was over the moon with the outdoor family games Davida left for us to enjoy, such a fun and unexpected touch. We can’t recommend The Happy Camper enough. A wonderful experience from start to finish, and we can’t wait to come back!

There's places I've stayed at because I love for different reasons. It could be the ambience, the views, the bed, the perks of being central in a certain city I love, etc. You will fall in love with this remote place, the little touches such as the quality snacks they provided us, the beautiful trailer, the readiness of the firepit and bbq, etc. I can say whole heartedly the reason that made this place great was the owners. They're good people with good souls. They were just the most hospitable hosts I've met from all the private rentals I've done ( and I've done a lot.) We appreciate you. Thank you for making it a pleasant stay from start to finish. We'll definitely be back just to visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most amazing stay at The Happy Camper! Everything was absolutely perfect — the trailer was spotless and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and the campsite itself was so thoughtfully set up and cozy. Our host, Davida, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She even greeted us with two joints, a homemade apple pie, and ice cream — such a fun and thoughtful touch! The property is gorgeous, and the cannabis plants are absolutely stunning to see up close. Our dogs had the best time, too! They were welcomed with open arms and clearly loved every minute of the trip. It’s rare to find a place that feels so peaceful, well cared for, and genuinely welcoming to both people and pets. Thank you, Davida, for creating such a special getaway. We can’t wait to come back! 🌿🍎🐾

This is by far the best place I have ever stayed. 10/10. If it only gives me an option of 5 stars I’d be livid I can’t give it a 6. Absolutely recommend. Just book it already. You won’t have to worry about anything else after that, because Davida already took care of what you were worried about.

Davida and her family have created such a lovely nature retreat on their farm-- from the mountain-view hike on the property and the plentiful greenery and flowers, to the AMAZING cold water tubs and every thoughtful little detail inside the camper. We had a restful night's sleep and a wonderful morning in this quiet little paradise!

What a fantastic stay! Davida and her family were super welcoming and gracious, and the camper was clean, well organized, and cozy. We enjoyed 2 nights and had a blast, and are planning to come back and stay another time. We’d love to see the area in autumn or spring. Beautiful quiet area and clear skies so you can see the stars and enjoy the tranquility of nature with the comforts of a camper. One million out of ten!

What a fantastic place to camp! We had a 10/10 experience staying here for two nights. Davida's land is beautiful and she was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the whole stay. Even though it got into the 90s during the day, there was plenty of shade and the camper has great AC. We will be returning for sure! :)
