Not private but the creek was nice
The owner was so pleasant that I’ve struggled for the proper balance of this review. If one is looking for an alternative to a crowded public campsite, this might be a great choice. Unfortunately, my expectations, based on photos and reviews, were not met.
The area designated for campers was smaller than I expected (perhaps add dimensions to the photo with the perimeter?), was very close to a road with more traffic than I expected and close proximity to the owner’s RV and home limited enjoyment of views. I went hoping to enjoy hiking to the nearest waterfall but was warned I should drive to the trailhead because people drive too fast on the narrow, winding road. A brief walk with my dog confirmed the hazard. If visiting in mid-summer as we did, you will find a high concentration of very persistent gnats, so be sure to bring strong insect repellent; the “natural” stuff I had was not up to the task. I could not use the creekside electric hookup because it has a ground fault, but the RV barn was fine, although it is even closer to the road.
The creek was nice, the owner is accommodating and we enjoyed some wildlife visits during our stay. The hammock, lighting, picnic table and fruit basket were all very pleasant.
