Very nice, exactly what we were looking for. Not too close to civilization, but also not in the middle of nowhere. Spot was spacious and very cute.

Just returned from Bare Camp, - what a wonderful escape! The place is quiet, peaceful, and has a beautifully archaic charm. Perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. Definitely recommend it for anyone and planning to come back again!

this campsite felt like a hidden oasis in their backyard! there was enough privacy where we felt like we were alone and the sound of the stream at night put us right to sleep.

Nice spacious grounds. The stream in the back is also calming.

It was a pretty cute little spot, the creek was probably the best part, we loved sitting beside it. The little shelter made the rain even better, we stayed inside the tent and listened to the rain while My husband played guitar

Really nice spot right next to a little creek. Great fire pit and sufficient space. Would highly recommend and would love to come back
