Wonderfully quiet spot amongst the pines! Laid back location, facilities, and other guests, just what you want after a day of traveling. Arrived just in time for thunderstorms which gave some nice cooling rain to sleep by in our camper van. Definitely recommended!

I loved camping here! The skies were dark and great for star gazing. A really nice pine forest with plenty of space to setup camp. I was camping alone so I enjoyed the company of Vader the friendly dog coming every so often to check on me :)

We met Charlotte upon our arrival. Felt like meeting an old friend.
We completely enjoyed the campground. The other guests were just as laid back and, if it hadn’t been for the rain, it would have been perfect.
We found Gilbert very pleasant.
We will be back.

Patricia was super willing to work with me and super friendly. I use Hipcamp sites exclusively instead of SniffSpots because I already am used to this app and they usually offer more of what I'm looking for. I just needed a large piece of land for an hour or two in the middle of the day for my dogs to run. (the outhouse was definitely a bonus!)
I specifically look for off-leash properties where there is nobody else currently camping. I always pay the full overnight charge even though I stay only an hour or so and she was willing to work with us on this. Vader 🐾 (her Mali/GSD) was super sweet and got along with my dogs without any problem, he was very very lovey!

We love camping here. We’ve been twice so far. Once with our whole family last summer, and once recently. Both times have been exactly what we’ve needed. The area is beautiful and well maintained. The summer camping was so much fun for us and the kids. We enjoyed the river using tubes and swimming by the small beach area while camping near camp 9-10. Being able to camp at camp 1 this time was great for a more private feel.

As you arrive you are greeted by a cool white socked donkey!! And of course the two beautiful goats!
Driving down the wooded lane you are directed towards your site under the pines.
The 🔥 fire was so beautiful in the steel 3/8” pipe with the stars cut into it.
It was such a welcome rest in the woods! Thank you so much Charlotte!!!🥰💕🥰💕🥰

The camp site was nice and spacious. A rake was provided which came in handy for laying down the tent. This is a very clean campground. Fishing in the Black River was great and you will catch different types of fish.
