First Hipcamper Club

Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.

Located seven miles from downtown Homer, the drive up East Hill and along Skyline Drive offers outstanding views of Kachemak Bay. BOUYLAND is completely surrounded by the Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve; our 800-foot driveway is a frequent path for moose. A short walk through the alders reveals a vast panorama of Mt. Redoubt, Lookout Mountain, Beaver Creek, Bald Mountain, Fritz Creek, and the Kachemak Mountains. The Setting The scenery is beautiful, but amenities are sparse. Access is via a narrow grass driveway. The toilet is a clean, comfortable outhouse—best used with the door open to take in the view. There is no running water at the "Cabinette." The Pros Peace & Privacy: Away from the town bustle with a fair chance a moose will walk right past you. The Views: Incredible sunsets behind Mt. Redoubt. Nature: High and dry with hardly any bugs. Fresh Water: I developed a cool spring on-site in 2025. The Cons Rustic: Outhouse only and underdeveloped. Shared Space: We live on the lot (2.77 acres) and will drive past you. We’ll likely bump into each other, but you’re free to explore. Daytime Noise: Trucks occasionally haul gravel off Ohlsen Mt. in the summer. They rumble past (out of sight) during the day, but mornings and evenings are peaceful. Adventure & Trails We are directly adjacent to an Inspiration Ridge Wildlife Preserve trailhead. Explore Ohlsen Mtn Rd for hilly gravel/mountain biking with views of Mt. Iliamna. For road cyclists, Skyline Drive offers "sporty" riding to the Sterling Highway (expect some rough patches). The Wynn Nature Center is just two miles away, and the hike up Lookout Mountain to the VORTAC is a local favorite. The Legend of BOUYMAN BOUYLAND is the birthplace and home of BOUYMAN. Thirty years ago, this was a major attraction where 1,000 buoys and 1,000 lights festooned a circular grove of spruce. Though spruce bark beetles eventually took the grove, the spirit remains: BOUYMAN LIVES!12x16 Murphy Cabin (garage). When our Honda Fit is out, the bed folds down, the table folds down too. There's a photo of when a friend stayed there for several days, kinda messy🫤. Small sink to a slop bucket. Small two burner drive top. Mr. Buddy heater. Solar system to charge devices and run some lights. Simple. Outhouse for pooping 💩. You can pee anywhere you want! Just not in the cabin. Actually ... there is a little pee bucket with a lid. Queen size memory foam bed. Replete with clean sheets and blankets. 2 will fit in the bed. One could fit on the floor, we do have a foam pad for that. It's tight with three people. 5 gallons of clean City water in a blue jug for your use.
