Amazing place super quiet The only thing I could say is there’s a lot of bugs so bring bug spray. The roads to get up there are pretty tough to get through.

The owners have put a lot of work into making this a sweet spot. But, it is a very small footprint, nestled into a hill side that is steep, shaded (which can be good) and the drive to get there left us completely stressed out. Very scary road. The good news, is that there is a second way to get there, which we took on the way out. So study google maps and choose THE LONG WAY, because it is not that much longer and it is a lot safer.

Fantastic decked out campsite. Everything was well maintained, it was awesome. Hot tub was clean and wonderful; along with a hose, string lights, a clean grill, an outlet and starlink all being provided, it was just a step under full on glamping! We had an amazing time.
Things to watch out for - poison oak on site along the slope and surprise rain. Wasn’t captured in the weather forecast, not even while it was actively raining! Luckily it was a soft rain and the lovely tree canopy provided a good bit of shelter, but the site (and our tent) definitely got soaked after a full night. (Of course this was the one time we chose not to bring an ez up or any rain gear in general in order to pack light 😅) Also, it feels very private for the most part, until a car drives down the bend in the road and lights up the whole campsite that is. Seemed like the bit of road just above the campsite was a well-used parking spot, and with the gradient it felt like they had a substantial view over the fence of the site below…
Regardless, Daniel was responsive and super generous - our car battery died while we were packing up, and he came and helped us jump the car! Super grateful for his generosity and would 1000% stay again.

We had such a great time at our spot on Daniel’s land. We brought our animal, had a gorgeous view, hot tub every night and the wifi starlink was great. Perfect trip!

I loved tent camping! The lights were so beautiful and not having to bring our own chairs was perfect. The skewers were perfect, we brought our own firewood and made s’mores under the stars and finished the night hot tubing before we camped under the stars. Overall it was a perfect experience and we couldn’t have been happier!

Awesome venue. Everything was prepared so well before we got there. Views for days, and the goat is friendly

Awesome stay!! Tons of privacy, strong Starlink and the hot tub is private. The road is super windy and steep. It’s a very pretty drive just make sure you rig is good for that.

It was a decent place, but lack of attention to details. I did a screenshot the address and lockbox, but didn't screenshot the entire email. That's on me I suppose, but knowing there is no phone or internet service, it would be a Simple Fix to post the pertinent info at the site so that guests could fill the water tank that was empty, and have the internet connection to let my family know I arrived safely. Also, no baby goats as advertised. Overall, not worth the price

Hidden Waters
We had a lovely weekend at Hidden Waters! WiFi was excellent and we didn’t have a single problem with it. The secluded nature of the campsite made it really easy to unwind and relax after daily living in the city.
Just a note for finding the location - don’t use the “get directions” link given by HipCamp. Instead, just type the address directly into your Maps and it will lead you right to the location. Hot tub and stove were very clean and refreshed for usage and the string lights were a great addition to the spot.
In the warmer months, be sure to bring bug spray or one of those citronella candles. Lots of mosquitos during dawn and dusk, but somehow we managed not to get bit using natural bug spray.
The host was also great and timely with communication. Truly a 10/10 spot and hope to make it back out that way in the near future.
Thank you!

Awesome stay, it’s a steep drive up but the spot is fantastic plenty of room to pull in and out. We had a great trip.

This is the sort of tucked-away spot you'd hope to find when you're boondocking somewhere. Totally quiet, just you and the trees.
Great communication from host and directions to the site were right on the money.
We camped there in our 25' RV - I sure wouldn't take anything bigger up that road and driveway. It is winding and barely wide enough to pass in many spots.
No cell service and Starlink wasn't stable because of the heavy canopy.
