Weekend Trip to Lochloosa River Retreat
My fiancée and I loved our weekend getaway at Nichole’s site. She was very welcoming & gave us a tour of the camp site. The area was very clean & was a perfect spot for us to disconnect from the city life. She even offered the river tubing ride which we also HIGHLY recommend. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. Nicole was also very quick on her responses and helped us with the questions we had.
We will definitely visit again & we recommend this stay 👍🏼💚🌳

The property is very well maintained. It is a lovely property and Earl and Lisa were very responsive checking in on me to be sure I had firewood and delivering my eggs. It was nice having a hot shower and the bathroom was squeaky clean. I would definitely recommend this Hip Camp.

This site was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful, quiet, clean, and great hosts. Even though we stayed during a very busy time for the hosts, Lisa still made time to meet us and fill us in on the big local event going on. We enjoyed the event and loved our stay!

Great campsite! Everything was clean and it was nice to have a bathhouse so close. We had a great time catching fish at the pond. Site 4 was nice and shady for the hot days and the trees provided nice coverage during the rain. We will be back.

Very cool little campground. You can tell they have put some work into making a beautiful space. There is a pond in the center with lots of ducks, geese, cranes, etc. they also have a shower house with flush toilets, shower, sink for dishes, and trash. They even have some nice walking trails. Sites were pretty private and even if the place was full you would still have more privacy than most state parks. There is definitely some highway noise since they are so close to 30 but if you don’t mind that I would definitely recommend staying here!

I had a great experience at Earl and Lisa’s camp! They were very quickly communicative and Lisa waited to show me to my campsite, despite me booking late at night. The camping areas were very well maintained and the bathroom was equally clean! The trails through the wooded areas were perfect to walk off a long drive and run some of my dogs energy off. Also, if you’re someone who enjoys stargazing, this is a great place for it!

We had a wonderful experience. Both Lisa and Earl were friendly, responsive, and accommodating. The bathroom/shower house was clean and stocked. The outdoor sink was helpful for washing hands and doing dishes. We stayed at site #6, which offered just enough privacy. The grounds were well maintained, and we loved seeing all of the bumblebees and hummingbirds.
They even offered some initial complementary firewood and fire pits have grates so that you can cook on them.
We are hoping to return soon before the season ends, otherwise we definitely plan to be back next year! Thank you, Earl and Lisa, for such great hospitality, and making our camping trip so comfortable!

Sarah and Earl are Great! They gave my grandchildren glow sticks the first night and then popsicles the next day. They come around and talk to you to make sure that everything is going well and ask if you need anything. We loved spending Labor Day weekend there! They even got to know our two dogs lol.

Thanks Earl & Lisa, they are lovely and kind couple. The campsite is wonderful and peaceful. We did enjoy the campfire, at first we couldn't fire up the woods, but just a message, Earl & Lisa came in a minute and helped us to set up the fire. Wonderful host.

My wife and I stayed at Sleek Acres (Lisa & Earl) over Labor Day weekend. We loved the property: the six sites were spaced comfortably apart and it was just a minute long walk directly to the toilet and shower. They were very thoughtful to install an outdoor sink for dish cleanup, as well. They also have lovely pond with ducks, an impressive blue heron, a small beach area with chairs, and the pond is stocked with fish. Walking on a small set of nature trails was a welcome escape from lounging at camp and a way to stretch our legs and have yet another experience without having to leave the property. The owners raise chickens and truly ‘farm fresh eggs’ are available for a very reasonable price. This was very welcome for us city dwellers who are now paying close to $10 for a dozen pasture raised eggs. We chose site #6 as its tucked away and offers a little more privacy but all sites are far enough apart that you’re not right on top of your neighbors. Lastly, Lisa & Earl made our experience quite wonderful. They are warm, genuine, and welcoming and made us feel at home. They came by in their cute electric car to see how we were doing, see if we needed anything, and then went on to clean and restock the bathroom. Their personal attention was wonderful and their quality of being ‘hosts’ is stellar. We will be back!

The property was a pleasant surprise for being in a rural area. It was nice to have options of river access for kayaking or a salt water pool to reside in. It was clean. If you’re a tent camper your areas appeared nicely spaced out. If you have an RV you will be at the entrance just off the road (which was rarely traveled). Wide open places if you were to have a group you would have the front all to yourselves. Kayaking on the river was fun. It was a nice couple of days.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tent camping experience at Sleek Acres. The hosts were warm and welcoming, providing fresh eggs and charcoal for minimal extra cost. The sight was large with plenty of room for our 2 tents and vehicle, also it was nice they had a picnic table next to the fire pit. Our 2 year old son enjoyed feeding the ducks by the pond and playing with the lawn games provided on site! 10/10 would recommend! (We loved site #5)

Sleek Acres is a great getaway, and we stayed there while driving to and from the Dunes. After seeing how crowded the Dunes campsites were, we were very glad to have such a nice, private little campsite. They really maintain their campsites well, and the sites are spacious. There is a little road noise, but the birds, crickets and frogs drown it out. If you like eggs, we got a dozen, and they were fresh and delicious! We would easily stay there again, without a doubt.
