Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Learn more about this land: Very remote off grid barn with an outhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees, and small vineyard that I make wine from. There's a creek that runs through the property with Indian grinding holes and arrow heads to be found. We also have volleyball, horseshoes, hiking trails, and much more! You will be in gold country where you can still find gold in the creek to this day! If you're lucky, you might find a nugget, but there's mostly pickers and fines. You'll always get color in your pan after a day of panning.  The nights are absolutely stunning for viewing the stars with no light pollution.  You will have almost complete privacy, with the exception of an occasional over head aircraft.

Remote Gem: A Tranquil Barn Stay
Set in the heart of nature, this retreat provided the perfect setting for a long-overdue catch-up with friends. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary getaway. The serenity of the surroundings, with the soothing sound of running water, felt like a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host, Scott, warmly welcomed us and patiently waited as we took a wrong turn. He guided us safely across the creek and gave us a tour of the property, which we greatly appreciated. Despite the rainy weekend, it only added to the charm; we weren't bothered by it at all. The sound of rain with the crackling fire, created a truly magical atmosphere. Despite being in a remote location inside a barn, we felt like we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was simply being away from the distractions of everyday life – whether sharing stories by the fire, engaging in deep conversations, climbing the tree fort, or hiking through the rain-soaked landscape, everything felt magical. As we were packing our bags, a strong urge to return soon washed over us. This place has a magical energy that deeply resonated with us, and we will definitely come back.

Scott was so fantastic! Super responsive and helpful with directions. The site was incredible. Definitely want to come back with more people in the future! The mini-farms were so lush and there could be nothing better than biting into an apple by the fire late at night. Amazing to trek along with the river!

We loved camping on Scotts homestead. It was beautiful and incredibly peaceful. Scott was so helpful throughout the whole planning and camping experience. We were traveling with 3 small children and it was easy and really fun. The creek that flows through the property is so serene and the Indian grinding rocks were incredible. There was volley ball, Cornhole, darts, swings, and gold panning gear. The camp kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you could possibly need and more. The rope swing in the barn was the kids favorite part. We swam in the swimming hole, crawfish nibbled gently on the kids toes in the creek, and the stars at night were spectacular. We camped in the barn, and due to our toddlers and old dogs we weren't able to utilize the loft beds. The stairs up to the beds are very steep and small, but that didn't matter we just used a couple air mattresses that Scott kindly let us borrow and camped on the first floor. The drive in was pretty wild you cross quite a few creek beds but Scott met us in town and led us in just fine. He showed us around and then left and we had the place to ourselves. It's a huge property and could fit large groups easily. We would definitely go back. This place is really worth it.
