Nice place but felt a little unsafe
I want to start by saying Theresa was very welcoming and we really appreciate her hospitality. That being said, we had a couple of concerns:
1. Fire access: there were a few communal fire pits, and a bit of conflict over who got to use them for cooking. It was fine sharing with other campers for dinner and smores, however, given the price of the site I think having a few more pits would be doable. However, the ground was full of very dry grass and not fire safe… we had water on hand and were cautious of flying embers. But really restrictions should probably be in place, or even having the pits over gravel or stone…
2. Theresa’s adult son was present around the camp, and offered to take us on a private hiking trail. Unfortunately the path was riddled with poison oak. More unfortunate, he was smoking a joint the whole walk. Which, we are fine with weed, but the trail was also full of dry, flammable brush.. and we felt it was not very fire safe. We also noticed he was very talkative with other campers who seemed a little uncomfortable/wanting to be left alone. He showed everyone a baby rattlesnake he caught in a jar and asked if we wanted to keep it (We said no). He also brought up his court case unprompted and how he was banned from YouTube for inappropriate content which I don’t want to repeat specifics of… all around a lot of inappropriate comments, including a few about women that made us (as 3 young women) uncomfortable
Overall it was fine though
