As advertised. Sweet, flat location with a good view and great breezes. Clear starry night was a bonus. Be aware there is a neighborhood rooster that likes to wake up early; we found it charming.

Had a nice relaxing time. Toni respected privacy and we bought some eggs from her. The stars at night were probably the best part for us. Great dark skies! No designated spots for camping so just set up wherever you'd like. The composting toilet is just a bucket, which was fine for us, but some may want to know that. Thanks for letting us stay at your property, Toni!

I am huge on reading reviews before booking and I read some of the reviews that were not the best, anyways we were not discouraged and gave it a chance:)
This was our very 1st stay with hipcamp and we have zero complaints, No issues at all with communicating, the place was extremely easy to find, hookups were right here behind our trailer where we backed in, it says fires are allowed and we would really enjoy a nice fire however, it's warm 🥵 and dry so we didn't want to risk anything. I am actually shocked at how absolutely peaceful, comfortable and beautiful Raven's place is, you will not find anything priced like this for what you get. I am very thankful and we will be back possibly to stay a bit longer than 2 days. Also although this is not my hipcamp rental in hope people are respectful and kind as we are, and as it started pack it up and pack it out. Please be respectful and clean up after yourself. Thank you kindly for sharing your property with us. We truly enjoyed our stay:) We have two service 🐕🦺 animals and no issues at all.

The site was quiet, relatively private, with great views. Directions were clear and easy to follow, site was level, power/water/sewer conveniently placed. I would stay there again and I would also recommend it to my friends.

Perfect for any tiring long commute. We were able to rest comfortably away from the noise of trains and traffic yet close enough to the highway to go back on the road by morning.

We booked on the same day & arrived in the dark at 8:30 pm… absolutely lovely find on our route . The temps we as low as 14° F and we were able to run our little heater . We were tired after almost a 600 mile drive day & missed the parking spot .. it’s marked well with 2 little lanterns . The host answered our phone call & we settled in for a nice nights rest . The dogs loved hanging out with some freedom ( we definitely picked up after them) and we so appreciate that option at this spot. Nice & level gravel spot & quite large . Thank you so much!!!

Easy and quick overnight with plenty of room and power to keep us warm! Didn’t hear from the hosts when we messaged, but everything worked out for us regardless.
