We stayed in campsite one. It was really nice and not too far from the parking spots. The bathroom was also nice and not too far of a walk from the campsite. We will definitely be back again. We loved that they provided firewood! Just be prepared to carry your camping stuff to your site, they do have wagons but when we went everyone else had taken them already and kept them at their sites so we had nothing to use to haul our stuff to our site.

The campgrounds were clean and maintained. It was easy to get to and quite. I only stayed for one night, but I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I'd recommend for anyone to give it a chance. Being so close to the river was delightful and I'll be returning again in the future.

This is a beautiful property with about 8 camp sites. We choose number three and we had the whole place to ourselves. We took chairs to the river and did some fishing. If you want to see what we caught check us out on YouTube Fish~N~Rocks with Ben and Sue. Everything was great we had a great time.

I had an awesome time camping here! The trails were well maintained, there was a bench set up near the river that was perfect for watching the sunrise. I camped at site 3, which had the perfect amount of shade. When I am in the area again I definitely plan on returning!

We had a wonderful time tent camping for the weekend!! Marla’s property is beautiful, quiet, and very peaceful. The campsites are spaced out nicely for privacy, the grounds are well-kept, and the location is an easy drive to downtown. Plus, they have carts to help haul your things to/from your vehicle, as well as firewood provided!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Hipcamp. Definitely recommend!!
