Tom’s camper was the perfect getaway on a long weekend for this single mama and two kiddos! It’s perfectly located between the region’s three state parks, with cozy beds, ample heat, plenty of towels and bedding, and all the kitchenware needed. The hot tub, hammock, and fire pit were perfect - the wood and snores supplies were a great touch! The outdoor tv/projection screen were super easy to figure out thanks to their excellent instructions. My kids can’t wait to come back!

Don't be discouraged about any of this first part... we loved our stay, but I just wish I had been prepared personally. So here you go.
First, make sure you download directions before going bc we lost all cell service on Verizon, and barely found it. Second, do not be afraid of the wood bridge, it is very sturdy. Lastly, there are a couple gravel switchbacks that we spun tires a bit while climbing. Make sure you are prepared to do some strategic driving. Nothing too bad for a 21ft van, but could present problems for less seasoned campers in large rigs.
That being said, this is a beautiful place with a wonderful host (Cindy) and great neighbors (the ducks, donkeys, dogs, cats, and horses). The sky is wide open with great views of the stars, storms, and sunsets behind the mountain tops. The host has a pool, spa, and sauna that you are welcome to use. The hookups all work as they should and the whole place is just beautiful. You definitely need to go here and unplug (literally, we found service in 2 spots on the property; wifi does work closer to the main home) for a day or two just to relax. We will be back!

This Hipcamp was fantastic! I loved it so much that I kept extending my stay!
It is situated on top of a mountain and the views are outstanding. You'll hear the donkeys braying occasionally and the cows across the way mooing. It is a lovely, bucolic setting.
The hook-ups are situated right next to the horses' and donkeys' pen, which I loved. The horses came up to greet me when I first arrived. I parked my van with my side doors facing the pen so that I (and my dog) could watch them. The other direction faces the hosts' house and two Airbnb cottages with long-term renters, so it's not entirely private, but it was fine as all were quiet and respectful.
I can't say enough great things about the hosts, Joe and Cindy. They are such wonderful, kind, generous people. They checked in with me occasionally to make sure everything was okay, including in the middle of a bad storm.
One thing to note is that cell service is non-existent after turning off the highway, so it is important to make sure you contact the hosts before then.

So much fun!! It’s actually very roomy for a camper and the hot tub was great. We couldn’t figure out the settings and the maintenance guy came right over to help. Firewood provided plus everything to make s’mores

I really enjoyed our camp area! The hot tub and theatre was great. I also really liked the camp fire area and the s’mores provided was a great addition! Very clean and pretty private. I would love to stay again in the future.
