Awesome place as we favor more remote camping. The sites are nicely spread out and we had tons of privacy while staying at the Presidential Suite. My 3 year old loved riding his bike on the trails and seeing the horses. 100% certain we will be back.

Weekend Trip to SnugLife Camping
Jody and Keith’s site was beautiful. The stove in the tent kept it cozy throughout the autumn night. They provided a garden cart to transport our things which was helpful. The air mattress was as comfortable as an air mattress can be. Jody and Keith recommended that we bring lights, since we were arriving after sunset, but we foolishly overestimated the power of our phone flashlights. So definitely bring a few lanterns. I would definitely stay again. It was beautiful by the river.

1 night at SnugLife Camping
beautiful, restful, only bring what u can carry down a bumpy, rocky, hilly half mile, bring water, wood, lights. my dog and i were very content. the heater wood stove was hard to figure out, glad it wasn't colder. the latrine situation was also confusing. i was not prepared to pack out my trash, sadly. I'll be better prepared when we come again, maybe for a few days next time. The tent, bed, platform, site were clean, comfy and inviting. would still be comfy w more people. the full moon on the brook at night was intoxicating ♡ thanks for letting me reserve so late and last minute!! k n maya

The place was really intimate — we truly felt surrounded by nature in a secluded spot. The area was also well set up, with a campfire, firewood, and cooking accessories.

Michelle was able to accommodate me last minute. Communication was a breeze and the spot is well hidden and secluded. Personal parking spot is a bonus!

If you need a training ground for first time "campers" (like my 3- and 6-year-old kids), this is fantastic! Jody and Keith are so nice and were more than happy to accommodate and guide what we needed. The site is rustic and we found the walk there perfect for setting the tone of having an adventure, but being close enough, just-in-case. Walking down to the small river (brook?) was excellent exploring and we were able to enjoy our time!

What a great spot. Hearing the river the entire time is the most soothing experience. The dense tree canopy keeps the ground very cool and comfortable. Some great spots to hang up hammocks. The firewood we ordered lasted us for the weekend, which was extremely helpful. While you do have to trek a little to the site, it is absolutely worth it. Looking forward to coming back

Jody & Keith were exceptional hosts! The directions to the site were clear and the campsite was just as spectacular as listed on Hipcamp! As newbie campers, we felt comfortable with the accommodations and plan on returning in the future! What a peaceful and magical slice of heaven right on the river! Beauty that will bring a tear to your eye :`)

Overall, the spot is lovely and we would recommend it to others. As others have mentioned, the listing could be a little more clear as to how dicey the walk is to the campsite. Using a wheelbarrow to carry our things wasn't feasible--that's no problem though, we will just pack more efficiently next time! Lastly, something to be mindful of is that there were campers on the other site during our stay and we noticed that sounds from the other campsite can be pretty audible at times. Still, we would definitely return!

This was our third year at The Wolf Swamp with a large group of 15. We rented the Jesse James Hideaway and The Presidential. Both sites are large and can accommodate several tents and cars at each. Everyone slept at one site and hung out at the other. Elle is a wonderful host and had wood waiting at both sites once we arrived. Her property is beautiful and peaceful. We spent 2 of the days we were there several minutes away floating the river. We are looking forward to seeing her again next summer!

Definitely pack light, “walk” is a bit of a hike to the site. But, we absolutely loved the serenity and peace by the river. Waking up to the sound of the water rushing by is second to none. The hosts were very hospitable and communicative.

What a fun place to camp! You can choose to be more secluded, which was awesome, and the hosts are very friendly and attentive! Close proximity to great swimming, and local stores. Family friendly and the horses are a great bonus 😊

Elle has a beautiful property and her and her partner (I forgot to ask his name!) went above any beyond to make our stay comfortable. We stayed at the Presidential Suite, but all of the sites are well spaced and private. A couple of them are close to the “road” but with only 12 campsites traffic is almost non existent. Our site had a few trails branching off of it that the kids loved to explore and it was more than enough space for our group of 7! The one con (though it didn’t bother us at all) was that you could hear the traffic from 93 at night. We would definitely stay here again!

Great campsite Billy is more than helpful. Provided plenty of firewood and stopped by for a great chat. Will be making our way back to the site.
