Wonderful and magical place to be. Pack light or bring a wagon. It's a hike and incline to go to and from the campsite. Well worth it thought! The water was cold but we jumped in anyway and had a blast. Stargazing is a must!

We absolutely loved at our stay on Clint's land by the waterfall! It feels like you're in a hidden little magical ravine. It felt clear to me that Clint treats the land with a lot of respect and reverence - please follow his guidelines to help in taking good care of this little oasis.

This was one the most magical, beautiful places I have ever visited. Clint was extremely hospitable, and made sure we had everything we needed. My best friend and I had the most relaxing, healing night spent in nature. We couldn’t believe how gorgeous the waterfall was, our jaws dropped when we saw it. We felt so lucky to be able to explore the fall and swim in the natural pool of water. The water is pretty cold, but crystal clear. Clint also has a canoe tied up that you can take into the water if swimming isn’t your thing. Thank you thank you Clint! We will be seeing you again!

I actually did not stay there because the weather was forecasted to be near 100 degrees. But Clint was very communicative. Sad to say, but we forfeited to nights of camping fees but 100 is a bit hot for me. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it again.

This is a truly magical place that should be cherished and respected by all! I am so thankful to have spent a night by the waterfall, deep in the woods. Being so immersed in nature, far from busy roads or people, is hard to find these days. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking to do some inner reflection, disconnect from the wild world we’re in, or just connect back to nature; to you!
