Camp Durrwood
Almost perfect. This is an amazing site -- big enough for 100 people! We only had 9 and used a tiny part of the site. There is no running water (we knew that). The drive only took about 2.5 hours from the south bay. There is nice shade and the canyon feels secluded and remote. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the highway. Not loud, but breaks the illusion of being in the wild. We camped next to the picnic tables and the RV. Perhaps if we kept driving deeper into the canyon the would be no noise. The porta potty was nice and clean. There were two hammocks setup. The host was very helpful and responsive. He recommended an excellent hike with just a 5 min drive.

Gorgeous property. So secluded. Perfect for a group camping trip. Great hiking trial in the back of the property if you look to the right up the hill when you get to the end of the path. We had dogs up there and they got to roam free - such a blast. Host was very responsive and directions were clear. RV and tent are awesome.

We loved the entire property set up. It was a good mix between dispersed camping and having comfortable amenities. The porta-potty was super clean and having the RV as an option to sleep in or for storage was very convenient. Also the hammocks and solar powered lights made for a super cute camping ambiance. We had a great time (:

Camp Durrwood was incredible, and the host, Walid, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was nothing short of amazing. The campsite is perfect for large groups with its ample space for multiple tents and parking. It felt very private and secluded - deep into the woods with no neighbors or other campers for what felt like miles. There is no running water or flush toilets, but the portable toilet on site was the cleanest one I have ever been in. Walid is very easy to communicate with, and he blew my expectations away with his hospitality and just how well prepared the site was for our visit. This was one of the best camping experiences I ever had. I would definitely book again. Thank you Walid!
