Very well, kept with a beautiful scenery, the fact that there’s only three campsites is really nice as well so you don’t feel overcrowded. The firewood, being chopped and ready for you for $.50 a log was awesome. Beautiful sunrise, and sunset, I highly suggest you try to stay up just for a little bit because we were able to see a ton of shooting stars.

Weekend Trip to "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

This is an amazing hipcamp! The location very much gives you a feeling that you are in the middle of nowhere, which it is. It was very quiet although it sounds like someone is keeping a pack of hunting dogs nearby and they like to bark and howl...alot. And it was very dark, not a single light in sight except the stars. All three of the sites were huge (we were in site #1) and the entire location was very clean and neat, even manicured. There was an excess of furniture for just our needs but we appreciated the grill and fire pit and adored the benches set along the rivers edge where we enjoyed our morning coffee. It isn't clear from all of the user-provided pictures but there is absolutely no access to the river itself. It's a good 20 foot drop and the warnings against getting too close to the edge are there for a reason. The utilities were great and well kept and as easy to get in an out as advertised.

This place is tops. 50/30 amp electric along with 110v, AND Clean water at every site. Glenn obviously wants the best experience at this place and it shows. We camped in August heat and made it work so you could too. This is the place, I'm telling you. BTW we are in a horse trailer so with an actual camper it is probably easier. Not a bad thing to say about our experience. Honest.

Wonderful site! Perfect view of the river. The site had everything we needed from extra tables and chairs to a big fire pit. The grill was even better because you can use it for grilling or move the grill cover over and have a small fire in it. My family really enjoyed the spot. We will definitely be coming back in the cooler months of the year.
