My fiance and I had a fantastic time on the river. It was secluded just like we wanted, quiet, the water was perfect!the drive down to the river was hard to navigate at some areas but we made it! Beautiful sandbar, didn't see a single person for 3 days. Perfect place if your looking to unplug for a few days!!

We’ve camped at this spot several times now, and every visit just reinforces why we keep coming back. The property is absolutely beautiful — serene, quiet, and nestled right on the banks of the Escatawpa River. Whether you’re relaxing by the water or waking up to the sounds of nature, it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel grounded and at peace.
The primitive camping setup is exactly what we love — no frills, just raw nature. It’s the perfect environment to unplug, reconnect, and even brush up on some survival skills. My two boys especially enjoy the experience; they’re always excited to explore the woods, learn new outdoor skills, and just be outside without the distractions of screens.
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape where you can truly disconnect and appreciate the natural world, this spot is a must. We’re already looking forward to our next trip.

Tony’s place is amazing! The countryside is so well kept, beautiful, and super quiet. Full hookups are available. They also have a really pretty covered outdoor seating area with plants all around, very cozy and romantic.

Great place to spend with the family. Very quiet and peaceful. I love that you can pitch a tent just about anywhere from the beach to the woods whatever you prefer and still be right on the river. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to all my outdoor people.

A wonderful place to unwind, peaceful, beautiful property. Tony and his wife Tracy are the best. We felt like family as so as we met them. The site is level, clean and large. Electric, water and sewer for both sites.

Our time on Tony’s property was amazing. They are the best hosts ever. Super kind and helpful. The countryside property itself is well cared for and super quiet. Full hook up is available . Covered outdoor eating was appreciated as we had rain 2 days. Location is fairly close to Laurel as well. Great experience for us!

Great campsite! We were able to tent camp in the shade of the woods and enjoy the sandbar on the river each day. Safe and clean. Isolated away from others which is what we prefer. Our dog loved it, too!

Tony and Tracy are wonderful hosts! Super helpful with all the things Laurel has to offer! The property is extremely well cared for and they make every attempt to make you feel welcome! If we are ever back in Laurel we will definitely be staying with them again! Thanks so much Tony and Tracy!

Loved the sand and the sound of the river. This spot is very unique and beautiful. Word of warning for those who have *full size pickup trucks* …. It takes some very skilled driving to get down to the water! Very sharp turn near the end of the road just before you get to the beach and not much room for error. And if it rains and the road gets muddy u better have 4WD I barely made it out on the morning I left the ground was fairly soggy. Just saying! Other than that there’s no spot like this one!

We loved the hospitality and the space that this location afforded us. Tony and Tracy went above and beyond as hosts and we even enjoyed a delicious meal they prepared on our first night. Our dogs got along great with their girl Winnie and having so much run around room was just what they needed after travelling. The distance to Laurel is not bad, and if that is the reason for your stay, just be aware that the town is shut down on Sundays on Mondays.

The site was one of the best we have stayed at. Large open area with a fire pit. Covered patio for sitting. The site was large with full hook ups and the hosts were welcoming and made sure we had all we needed for a great stay. Thank you Tony and Tracy for being such great hosts!

Our site on Tony’s property was to die for. He assisted us backing our trailer up. Our hosts, Tony and Tracy, have great amenities to use on their property from a fire pit to an outdoor table and chairs. The full hookups were outstanding. Tony and Tracy were extremely friendly and cordial to us. We felt like we were members of the family! A super fantastic visit!!! We exchanged addresses and phone numbers so we could keep in touch. If all Hip Camp hosts are like Tony, we will definitely use the site again!

We arrived at night and thw host was very helpful on getting us to our parking spot.
Very nice site. We had access to a covered porch. He let our friends come and have a evening with us sitting around the campfire.
We stayed 3 night. If we are ever in the area again we will forsure come for a stay.
His property is beautiful too.
