Great hosts. Quiet location with fire pits and shower. Easy access to trail. Shuttle offered to allow sessions of the trail vs entire loop. Can’t wait to stay again

Nice, clean and peaceful place. Great location to launch your ride on the Dragon. The host is responsive. We really enjoyed the large fire pit.

This site is a slice of heaven on earth. We had the most comfortable camping conditions weather-wise, it was getting a bit chilly in September so we had the entire property to ourselves. So peaceful and healing. Site 2 and 3 are definitely show stoppers. The walk down to the campsite feels right out of a Disney woodland movie, complete with a ton of foliage, flowers, and a babbling creek that was a dream to listen to as you fall asleep at night. Sarah was awesome and super communicative and let us have free range of the sites during our stay since we were the only ones there. Being on the river was absolutely picturesque and we are already planning on coming back in the summer to enjoy the river more. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your gorgeous property with us, we are so excited to come back with friends!

Lovely little hidden gem. Took my grandkids and they had a blast at the pond. We brought our own kayaks but there were 3 already there for use. Hosts are super nice and accommodating. I've found my new favorite place to camp.

Such a nice little piece of land. The bathrooms were immaculate and I even got a hot shower! It is about 300 ft from main road so we could hear some road noise, but it was also nice to be able to go grab ice, etc from a nearby gas station when needed. Great experience overall :)

We loved our time at the Dragon Adventures Base Camp. Our kids loved playing the beer garden area and challenging themselves on the skills course, the nice grass made a great base for our tents, and the bike repair room was super helpful in taking care of some final tweaks that we ran out of time for before leaving home. The firewood was plentiful and dry, and I really appreciated the kindling cracker at the wood piles.
