Small fire pit, not great but available for guests unless fireban is on during dry conditions short drive to several acres of public ground, ATV access, hiking, and mountain biking and fishing This is an 80-acre working ranch with cows, irrigation and hay so you may have to drive through the cows and there will be cowpies :-).

These folks were so kind, and finding the space was easy with their published directions. The space is well maintained, and wonderfully peaceful, especially once the traffic on the highway dies down. They even had firewood set out. Awesome.

Tent camping on this pasture was GORGEOUS. The host was incredibly kind, communicative, and flexible. Our prior site fell through last minute and the host approved us staying within a few moments. Host is very transparent about amenities and GPS navigation. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to White Bridge Lane Private Campsite

We had a nice weekend on Dawson’s property . It’s very private with great river access for fishing and playing in the water. We loved being able to let our dogs have the freedom to run around and play in the water as well. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, mostly in the evenings, but Dawson set up a screen tent around the picnic table which made a nice gathering spot for meals by the campfire. We’d go back for sure!

This spot is perfect for off grid camping. Great fishing. Mosquitos can be a challenge at times, just bring bug spray and have a great time.

Beautiful spot. Be sure and bring Bug spray. The only negative we saw was the fire pit was to far from the water as its nice to hear the water at night while sitting by the fire. Would recommend. Great communication. They even had an opening and let us stay an extra night.

We had a wonderful two nights camping next to the river and no other campers. Loved waking up to the rushing water of the river and so many singing birds. Thank you for sharing your land. A great place to relax in nature.

The views are beautiful. Super close to I-90 but far enough away that you can’t hear the road noise. Jodi was so accommodating. I drove right past the hip camp I was supposed to be at and was heading for this second night reservation. She was quick to respond to my request to come and stay a night ahead of schedule. Site was perfect for me and my dog. Lots of walking and swimming in the river for the pooch. Felt very safe. Would stay again.

This is a great site. Super private. Right in the Boulder. Easy to get in and out. Clear instructions. It is close to the highway so there is a bit of road noise but super minor.

We loved camping here. The site is super easy to access and had plenty of room. The river access and fire ring were definitely highlights for us. We hope to be back soon!
