The location is lovely. Very peaceful, right on the edge of the water. Nice fire pit and picnic table, level spot to tent or park. I did not meet Allan in person, but he was very friendly and accommodating during the arrangements.

Great camping spot overlooking Whiting Bay. Really loved the views and the firewood that Al provided. Large field for our dogs to run and steps down to the bay were a plus. Stayed in Site 7, which is really the only site that would accommodate our 48' truck/trailer. Other sites work best for tents or camper vans. Very narrow entrance, you'll miss it if you aren't careful.

What a magnificent spot! Beautiful location and view. Level lot for our van camping. Sites are primitive (fire ring and picnic table) and outhouse for bathroom. But unexpected extras were firewood, jugs of extra water for our use and a few other camping luxuries to borrow.. Absolutely what hipcamp os meant to be !

Enjoyed a great time camping for several days at Elmer's Cove! Spot 5 has a great view, both open enough to enjoy it and protected enough to protect our tent from some storms that blew in. The screen house was handy for rain, too, yay being able to have a dry dinner! Al was a flexible and responsive host and has good recommendations for local stuff to do. Would definitely stay there again if we're up that way in the future.

Great spot! Site 5 had a good water view, a bit of privacy with the lean to and could pull our little trailer up close to the spot. Including the firewood and spring water to use is a great perk! I’d stay here again and at site 7 next time to hike down with a tent and have a private oasis.

My spouse, 2 labs and I camped here on an overnight trip to explore the Bold Coast. It was the perfect base to explore from! Al had thought of everything and the listing was very accurate. We really appreciated having fire wood provided. Stunning views. We ended up staying at site 5 on Al’s suggestion which we found was the perfect balance between privacy and being close to the outhouse/fire wood. There was one other group with dogs and one without - we all touched base on boundaries/expectations and were able to have our dogs off leash which was a blessing. Would highly recommend.

My first campsite through the App was a great experience! Our host was quick to respond and very accommodating for a senior and a disabled person. And what a view!!! I wanted to see the sunrise on the east coast, and I was rewarded. The out house is a true outhouse, but charming in its own way, totally fine for the able-bodied, but watch that first step is you’re not so steady.

We loved Sienna’s sweet lodging in the woodsy glen, and stayed an extra day to enjoy it. She was responsive and helpful throughout our stay and has thought of every detail inside the cabin and around- the bed was very comfortable, the outdoor shower delightful and we kept the side lifted for most of the day. We will definitely return and are telling all our friends about this wonderful spot!
