Breathtaking beauty & comfort
Jason et al. have done the outdoor enthusiast-city dwellers of the world a massive favor by opening up their property to Hip Camp guests.
We spent three days basking in the beauty and peace of the towering firs on this family campground. We love to camp, but sometimes the setup takes away from the meditative experience we were looking for. This site has all you'd ever need for a comfortable stay National Forest adjacent.
If you're used to driving into a popular state park and setting up in a crowded campground, this will feel remote; and that's exactly what we wanted. And a place for our dog to exist with us off leash.
We spent most of our stay on the deck larger than my SF one bedroom. I've seen many an ocean sunset, but the view through the trees from one of two porch swings might take the cake as the most beautiful I've seen.
It was hot - end of summer and all - but the porch and trees provide ample shade. Our last afternoon we spent the majority of time in our tent due to massive thunderstorms rolling through, but I can't imagine ending the summer in a more dramatic fashion. Hail, heavy rain, thunder & lightening - such things we don't see in SF.
Jason was so communicative and helpful, checking in on us here and there, and coming down during the storms to batten down hatches and make sure we were safe and comfortable. A+++ host.
I hope this property stays on Hip Camp, because I'd love to bring a group here someday to take advantage of the tent sites, too.
