Our 32 ft Class C fit perfectly within the mature pines at Paula's land. The river and views were top notch. You really dont find places like this with full hook ups. Will definitely be back.
Thanks for putting your land up on hipcamp Paula. Beautiful!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at Amber and Dale’s campsite. What a beautiful spot! The site was very clean and well accommodated. Amber was nice enough to leave some extra firewood for us as well as a few camping chairs. The site was easy to find and not too far from the road.
At the site was a nice picnic table, an outdoor charcoal grill, plenty of space for 2 or maybe 3 tents and a large fire pit. Also enough parking space for at least two cars.
We slept in our rooftop tent on the bed of our F150 pickup. Although the tent sites are level, the parking spot had a slight slope to it so I just used some firewood under the tires to level it out. slept comfortably no problem!
The site is private and surrounded by some small trees with great views and a beautiful sandstone back drop.
The owners are very friendly!
