Riverside Camping 1
We cannot say enough about how beautiful Vikrum’s land was. It was so peaceful and quiet and the river view and beaches were amazing. We had a little difficulty finding the initial turn off from the dirt road but the GPS directions lead us right to it. We just didn’t listen to them 🙄. The trail to the campsite was totally passable for a Tacoma and a grand Highlander. We loved it and so did our pups! We will totally be back. Thank you for a wonderful little break from reality!

My fiance and I had a fantastic time on the river. It was secluded just like we wanted, quiet, the water was perfect!the drive down to the river was hard to navigate at some areas but we made it! Beautiful sandbar, didn't see a single person for 3 days. Perfect place if your looking to unplug for a few days!!

We’ve camped at this spot several times now, and every visit just reinforces why we keep coming back. The property is absolutely beautiful — serene, quiet, and nestled right on the banks of the Escatawpa River. Whether you’re relaxing by the water or waking up to the sounds of nature, it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel grounded and at peace.
The primitive camping setup is exactly what we love — no frills, just raw nature. It’s the perfect environment to unplug, reconnect, and even brush up on some survival skills. My two boys especially enjoy the experience; they’re always excited to explore the woods, learn new outdoor skills, and just be outside without the distractions of screens.
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape where you can truly disconnect and appreciate the natural world, this spot is a must. We’re already looking forward to our next trip.

This is my reply to the owner after he told me no one else is unhappy. Maybe I excepted more……
The trail is NOT cut. You can walk the trail in. If you drove in…… the trail from the road IS bottomed out plus the maintenance is lacking because your vehicle would be scratched up.
This is not rude. This is informative.
Your directions to the property are good. You give GPS DIRECTIONS without cellphone service in the area. “ Scott street is NOT labeled. You do NOT offer a physical address or landmarks. This pictures you offered are out dated.
This is information to make your place better. Plus RVs can’t not safely enter with the steep grade from the roadway. They can NOT turn around of the dirt road. Your trail is NOT wide enough or have the clearance for an RV.
I have pictures and offered them to the owner to help with better directions. He refused.

Our rig is about 13’5”, so we couldn’t get through the road to the beach due to an abundance of over growth & low branches. Didn’t explore the site after initial entry attempt so can’t speak on the rest of it.

Great place to spend with the family. Very quiet and peaceful. I love that you can pitch a tent just about anywhere from the beach to the woods whatever you prefer and still be right on the river. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to all my outdoor people.

Great campsite! We were able to tent camp in the shade of the woods and enjoy the sandbar on the river each day. Safe and clean. Isolated away from others which is what we prefer. Our dog loved it, too!

Loved the sand and the sound of the river. This spot is very unique and beautiful. Word of warning for those who have *full size pickup trucks* …. It takes some very skilled driving to get down to the water! Very sharp turn near the end of the road just before you get to the beach and not much room for error. And if it rains and the road gets muddy u better have 4WD I barely made it out on the morning I left the ground was fairly soggy. Just saying! Other than that there’s no spot like this one!

We arrived earlier than the scheduled check in and host allowed us to head to the site anyways which was great considering we had our young, tired kids with us. The off road wheeling (nothing crazy, but not just a dirt road either) to the site was fun and as others mentioned, you want a good 4wd vehicle to tackle it. The site itself is incredible; quiet, remote and beautiful. Do note there is virtually no cell service but we expected as much
Very pleased and excited to go back

Had a great weekend with a good friend and our two boys. Lots of area for kids to explore and play. The beach is always clean and also very secluded which is preferred fo me and my group. Only thing I could say would be maybe some better signage hard to find at night. But over all 9.5/10

We had a blast at the campsite! Such a beautiful place with great views. Plenty of land to camp on the beach or towards the woods. Definitely a place to go to to unwind and have family time. We'll be back for sure

Beautiful spot. You need a good 4wd to get down to the beach, and definitely not a big one or a trailer. It’s a night fit, some good off camber stuff. Super peaceful and private.

It was very spacious. Lots of sand to spread out on. It is easy to miss could use a sign on the main road.

River was perfect. And peaceful. There was another family that came later on in the day, but they were super nice, enough room to space out. Only issue is there is absolutely no marking identifying the driveway. Wish there was a sign or something.
The drive way to the river is really grown, we brought a Machete and cleared a few limbs from scratching over the vehicles.
Will definitely be back, 2nd time and we love it here.

When we found this little riverside camp, we were excited to give it a shot.
We are always looking for true primitive camp sites with space, privacy, and especially dog friendly.
This space exceeded our expectations. The water was clear, sand was snow white and everything was very clean.
The trail to the sandbar can be tricky in a vehicle, definitely need a 4x4 if you are wanting to park right next to the river.
Vikrum was quick to answer with any questions we had and was pleasant to deal with.
We are already checking our schedules to plan another trip!

I had a great time there on my first solo camping trip. It’s a beautiful sandbar on the river.
However, there was only that one trail that led to the sandbar, other campers had already set up on the beach right where the trail ends, so I had to trudge through their campsite, tents, tables, food, bbq grill, etc., to get my camp set up.
I didn’t like being so far from my car either, being a solo camper, and it wasn’t cleared enough to set up the tent anywhere but in the sand.
I like to set up camp near my car so there’s not so much to carry a long distance.
As it turns out, the other campers were from my town, we knew each other, and they were super kind and considerate.
It’s a pretty spot, I will be back!

Very nice, and peaceful piece of property. Very secluded and surrounded by beautiful wildlife. Coordinates bring you straight to the entrance of the trail on the right. It is a narrow path. So just be sure to take it slow, driving your vehicle down. Will definitely be back again.
