1 night at Crooked Creek Ranch

What a wonderful Hipcamp experience! I received a very warm greeting from Sandra (and Koda!) who guided me down to the campsite. The site itself is private, tucked back in the woods, with plenty of space to spread out. Sandra had prepared the campfire, and there was tons of downed wood scattered about for gathering. I was able to ride my bike to a nearby restaurant that she recommended (No Prep Tacos—SO good), and slept so well in the peaceful tranquility of her property. I only wish I had more time to explore the property’s trails and brook. I will absolutely stay again the next time my travels bring me through the area!

1 night at Avalon Unity Garden

We had a great time staying on Carol's property. It was lush and quiet. There was plenty of seating (around the campfire too) so we didn't even need to bring our camping chairs. There was also a camper with electric and a kettle, in case we needed that. Carol was a gracious and communicative host. Thank you!

Whispering Pines was very shaded, well kept and peaceful. Though on a main road, it was very quiet. 30/50 Amp power and water made it a very easy stay. No question, we would do it again if in the area!

3rd year at Carol’s. She has an amazingly bright and creative soul and makes you want to manifest your dreams into reality. My friends and I have learned so much about ourselves through our many trips to her beautiful garden. I will never not have a great time at Avalon Unity Garden. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things Carol creates in the future. Best Wishes, Everyone.
