Amazing location. You really can’t beat the views at this campsite. And the host is so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. It’s rare to get a really good and peaceful nights sleep while primitive camping, but this location and property couldn’t have been better for it. It’s also 2wd accessible, even in heavy rain!

Weekend Trip to Bear Paw lake Cabin

This spot was a dream for me. Cabin is comfy but doesn’t feel too small. Master bed is truly wonderful. Adjustable and with a dreamy mattress. We spent most of the time on the porch painting and reading and playing fetch with our labradoodle, who was in heaven. We were mostly unaware of neighbors or much nearby activity. Merlin app caught so many new birds. I hope to return soon.

We had an amazing stay at this Hipcamp. The host is fantastic - welcoming and responsive. The cabin was the sweeeetest! It’s clean, well stocked with lots of extras from fun games to cozy furnishings. We were especially impressed by the little touches, like having salt and pepper in the cabin - things we had forgotten but truly appreciated. The surrounding area was peaceful and stunning, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great escape - we can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Bear Paw lake Cabin

What a gorgeous cozy secluded cabin in the woods! We had such a great stay. We enjoyed the watching the birds at the feeders, saw Steller’s jays, Mexican jays and magpies to name a few! Very quiet. Loved making fires outside, and using the wood stove inside. Kitchen fully stocked, even has some items you may need like spices, coffee, oil, condiments,… very friendly helpful hosts. Strongly recommend! It was my favorite place we rented during our holiday road trip.
