The directions Matt & Rachel provided were easy to follow, and the property was well-kept. We ended up switching to the Judah tent since another customer had canceled and Isaachar had a broken zipper that hadn't been repaired yet. It was a very peaceful place to spend the night!

Such an awesome getaway! Took out all the difficult parts of camping, and made it so enjoyable! We had the Zebulon tent, and it was so cool inside! Being able to nap mid day with the solar powered AC was SO nice.
Super fun! Very affordable! Totally want to come back here :)

For starters as a busy single mom, this was not only affordable, but had literally everything you need, comfy beds, hot showers, a sink to wash your hands and dishes, a/c and heat in the tent, and an RV fridge cooler, that kept everything super cold! I only go places where I can bring my dog, and she really enjoyed herself as well, we had so much fun that we stayed an extra night! This is our new favorite spot and Matt and Rachel are absolutely wonderful and kind! Our charcoal got soaked in the rain and the happily swapped out our bucket. We are already planning our next trip!! PS they have WIFI!!

The hosts are amazing.
The amenities are perfect.
I flew in from the Midwest and didn't need anything except food to comfortably camp here. Better than a hotel!
The outdoor shower is heavenly. It has a tank less heater if that's your jam, but the water is from a tank so it's not freezing cold.

This place has everything you need for a perfect “I’m outdoorsy but also like mattresses” kind of getaway. The bed? Comfy enough to make you question your life choices back home. The bathroom? Spotless, private, and had actual toilet paper (not the terrifying single-ply stuff). And yes, the shower was hot — not “lukewarm if you dance around” hot, but real hot.
There was a fire pit where we roasted marshmallows like champions, and a little coffee setup that made me feel like a civilized human while watching the sunrise.
But let’s talk about the jackrabbits. Two of them. We called them Bonnie and Clyde. They spent most of the trip sprinting around like tiny antelope with trust issues. At one point, they squared off like it was the Wild West and we were the only witnesses. Five stars for the unexpected bunny drama alone.
In short: came for the nature, stayed for the rabbits with beef. Will absolutely glamp again

Amazing spot! Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The beaches and sand bars were very fun to explore in kayaks, which Rebecca rents out for a reasonable price. We came in late May, and the river water level was fine, a good challenge for upstream travel but navigable. Rebecca was good with providing answers to my questions but had some communication challenges because it's a bit off the grid, so you'd likely want questions answered up front. It's a dream spot if you appreciate unconventional camping on the gorgeous Green River.

Everything and nothing. My gas leaked like hell and the heat went out. It’s on the 40 with a beautiful overlook over skinwalker ranch. Heat went out at ten. I woke up at 12 and went out for a smoke and saw my lights on in my car I was like godamn that crap was locked!!! Went turned it off and ran the car to charge the battery for twenty minutes. Damn right I brought my dog. My alarm for some reason went off at 505 and I woke up and my dog was frozen and shaking. She refused to get under the covers so I took her into my car. There were three of them. Talking about my dog. I laughed. I was in my car smoking heard a blow of one. Instantly rolled up my window. Then behind me my beautiful wiew. I say a glowing light get bright then go dim about twenty times. It was cool as hell. The things kept taking telling me to trust them. As soon as it was light.
I cleaned and left quickly. I never turned off my vehicle. It was greatest experience ever I highly recommend staying in the Judah tent in February. Awesome night!!!
