This is a small, no-frills family operation. Power at each site with a water spigot available near the main fire pit. No rigs over 30' due to a sharp bend in the driveway. Beautiful, quiet, and convenient to all the best that the White River National Forest has to offer. We'll be back!

My husband and I totally enjoyed the remote and private feel of camping here with our dog. If you’re wanting to be the only campers in sight for miles, have breathtaking views, and the ability to hike from camp, this is a great choice. Our host, Kevin, was nearby and able to pop in to help us with the only issue we had (propane fire table) as well as show us around other parts of the land he owns. If we are in this area again, we would definitely choose this spot.
