We did a weekend getaway here and were immediately overwhelmed with peace. This site is ideal for quiet reflection, prayer, and rest. There are a couple of houses nearby, but they are not on the campsite property and do not affect the experience. One is briefly visible when you first enter the area, but it disappears once you drive deeper into the woods. The other sits across the creek, about 600 yards up the hill, and is only noticeable if you walk all the way down to where the creek meets the river.
The constant sound of the creek flowing next to camp is incredible. It created a calm, grounding atmosphere during our reflections and helped us sleep deeply each night. There is plenty of open space to walk, explore, and set up multiple tents comfortably.
The drive in was easy, even in the rain, and we had no issues without four wheel drive. Directions were clear. Just continue straight to the gate marked “Hipcamp” when your GPS says you’ve arrived.
If you’re looking for an off the grid style retreat that still offers some cell service and easy access to supplies, this place strikes a beautiful balance between seclusion, peace, and practicality. We left feeling rested, centered, and grateful.

When I first pulled in, I saw little heads bobbing, geese! Then when I pulled around to my campsite the road led through a little creek any f150 or bigger could get through no problem!!! How awesome is that?! Then, a downfall, the power went out but we had the generator and gas hooked up in a jiffy, with that being said, the man offered to pay for our gas to run our small heater microwave and tv, along with an easy to remember wifi password which worked so well out by the small uncovered lake pavilion. I traveled in an f350 with a camper on top and had very little to no branches above head that got in the way. This is a fine camp and he was able to make us aware of anything when it went wrong or wasn't working properly.

Bill & Laura's hospitality was amazing! They made every effort to help us find a great spot right on the lake! Moved and leveled the picnic table while we enjoyed conversation. Communication details were very detail and a great help. The views were beautiful and serene, we even had access to a gazebo next to our camp. We slept in our tent and felt very safe. We caught two nice size catfish just before leaving which was great! I can't say enough about this private camp site, except we will be back again soon.

I had a wonderful stay on JoLane and Sam's place. JoLane offered prompt replies and all information needed for arrival. Sam (a veteran) met me and guided me to Site 4. We had a nice chat about local going-ons... all the more making me feel at home. The site was just right for my Colorado and 16ft camper. That being said, this site would be perfect for single or multiple tent camping! I enjoyed the peaceful feeling of being in remote, deep woods... without really being far away from conveniences or access to major roads. Do yourself a favor a spend a night or two here!
