Main camp
Great Site!
I would highly recommend AWD, but the drive is totally possible without one - our group had a great time off-roading.
The best part about this site was how secluded it is, but close enough of a drive to town if you want to spend time there. There are a lot of mosquitos so make sure to bring bug repellant.
The site is impossible to find with GPS so you will need to meet with David to initially get there. It is a little challenging to coordinate, but overall David was very accommodating.
We will definitely rebook this site.

Main camp
We made it in a Honda Odyssey mini van, but would really recommend an all wheel drive SUV or truck. It was an adventure, with 3 wet creek crossings. David is an awesome guy, quick with a smile, who will help lead you in and out if you think you may need assistance. Bring mosquito repellent and a propane fire pit, in case regular camp fires are prohibited. I would recommend staying at main camp for the best set up and room. We had a good time with our 2 wiener dogs.
Creekside
It was nice to be secluded and not close to other campers. This place has a lot of potential. There is a lot of broken down equipment and vehicles on the property which detract from the beauty of the forest. We were told by the host, we could have campfires, but a disgruntled neighbor stopped at our site and yelled at us for a good 5 minutes after taking a picture of us with our fire. It was an interesting trip for sure.
Creekside
Overall, we had a good trip and the location is amazing. IMPORTANT- make sure you don’t follow the directions on Hipcamp. They are wrong and took us to a completely different location. Make sure you wait for David to guide you. Also, reminder there are no bathrooms.

Trees, creeks, and wild life
Highly recommend! We loved our secluded campsite with close access to a stream. There is plenty of space between camp sites, so there's lots of privacy. The drive in is unpaved and 4x4 would have been great, but I managed to make it in my Prius. Our host was friendly and accommodating.

Fun but Dissapointing
Campsite was not quite what we hoped for. We did have a wonderful time away from crowds but disappointed to pay as much as we did for what you get.
First, I reached out to the host twice to ask if we could bring extra vehicles and didn't hear back, so I booked an extra site just in case. When we arrived, he told us he could refund the additional site or charge by the head and we all camped in one site per his request. Never received a refund or heard back.
Second, the land was not taken care of. It's a beautiful forest and creek but old, rusting vehicles all over the roadway and campsites. Our campsite actually had a rusting trailer in it with a tarp over it which was pretty creepy. Random 5' deep holes in the ground and the picnic bench fell over when we sat on it. Hoping that it can be cleaned up since it has so much potential to be a special place.
Overall, it was a really nice time and the host is a nice, helpful guy in person! Just wish we had received a partial refund or at least heard back so we could have made the right choice in booking. Also, if you're booking in the next few weeks, be prepared for lots of ticks and mosquitos.
