This was exactly what we needed! We used to go camping/boondocking in Michigan all the time before we move to DC in spring of 2023. We took a bit of a hiatus, and now we wanted to go on a family camping trip with our 9 month old baby. We’ve had a hard time finding a campsite that was secluded and in the woods. We really don’t like public camp sites due to too many people be loud late at night. This campsite brought us back to our over landing and Boondocking phase!! The road to get up was a little treacherous, and I would definitely recommend a more sturdy vehicle. Our F150 had no problem, but I could’ve seen my Subaru outback getting stuck at certain points, especially the first 20 feet of the road. The site was super easy to find using Google maps. It was secluded and quiet. When we first arrived, it was a little buggy but a little bug spray and our Thermo cell worked just fine. Our dog had a fun time running around off leash but just be careful because we did find one tick. Our nine month old baby enjoyed playing in the dirt and watching the birds soar overhead. The stars were beautiful and it was exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely go back. V offered to drop off some wood for us, but we just stopped at a gas station 20 min up the road and got two packs of wood. V was communicative and nice!

The camping space was quiet and private. The area was a short drive to a few hikes and 20 mins to the nearest grocery store for last min items. Would recommend!

This was an incredible location! Absolutely stunning. You certainly need a 4WD vehicle to get up the mountain, but once up there, you’ll be mesmerized by the stars, the view and the peace that this site offers. I highly recommend this site to anyone wanting a mountain retreat. If in the area again, I will certainly be staying here again!

We loved our stay as first-time tent campers! The campsite was perfectly secluded—just what we were hoping for. The whole experience was a 10/10. We’ll definitely be coming back, and next time, we’re bringing the whole family!

This is an amazing spot, quiet and just remote enough to let you get sucked in by the stars at night. The suggestion of a 4x4 is correct though not difficult to navigate up the road. My Tacoma was fine.

Fantastic spot! You definitely need 4WD to climb the road. It was quiet and secluded and the fire pit was perfect on a cold night. Would definitely camp here again.

It was great. Gorgeous sunsets and it was a nice escape from the world. AWD/4WD is a MUST!! Saw a little bit of light from a house down the mountain but nothing that took away from the experience. Would love to take a trip back sometime this year! The owner responded right away and was super helpful with directions, same for the firewood delivery guy!

Great spot! A little bit difficult to get to, but the Highlander was able to get up the mountain no problem. Perhaps a little smaller than I imagined, but it was perfect for a weekend away. Quiet and secluded.

This is the perfect spot for the nature lover, but you have to be prepared to be completely self-sufficient. A fire pit is the only thing provided, so please bring your own bathroom facilities and so that others can enjoy the area after you please do NOT use the woods as your bathroom (finding toilet paper in the woods is gross). There isn’t much of a view from the clearing, but the entrance to the community offers the best sunset view.

Directions were clear and it was easy to find the spot. The road up is definitely steep and rocky, however was easy to navigate in my outback. The site was clean and felt super secluded. V pointed us towards a great overlook a short walk away and we soaked up all the foliage. Great for dogs, too!
