This was such a cute place to camp at! The bathroom was super clean and the mirror was nice to have in the morning. Sunset and sunrise views were incredible, and it was fun to explore the area a bit. I would definitely stay here again.

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!

We absolutely loved this property! The kids had a blast on the deck, and there was plenty of space for them and our dog to run around and play. The firepit was a great touch for cozy evenings, and we really enjoyed exploring some of the nearby trails with our ATV. Communication with the host was excellent, and everything was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Really nice site and quiet. The pit toilet was super clean and nice to have at least some toilet for tent camping. The parking area was definitely big enough to have a small camper trailer.

Great place! Though when getting the coordinates, I had to do so through the hosts messages as the coordinates that you can share with other people are wrong so we actually went to a completely different location first. Still enjoyed the spot thoroughly but would recommend fixing those coordinates for future campers!

We had such a great time! The campground was private but also very easy to find. The yurt was very cute and comfortable. Very clean and all equip worked perfectly. The caretaker is very nice and helpful. The owner is very communicative and professional, they gave very detailed instructions, making the trip very stress free. A perfect little slice of heaven that we see ourselves returning to over and over again!
