Really beautiful & well set-up
Joe's spot is really exceptionally beautiful. This was my first time using HipCamp and the bar is now high. Nestled up 124 miles after it has become a dirt road, the land is dense, beautiful forest of aspens & evergreens, boulders of various sizes & a hearty rushing stream running through (in late August, at least).
Joe makes it all a welcome place to land, with varied trails running between two tent sites, the large kitchen & fire area, the outhouse & the outdoor shower (I didn't use as I was just there one night & it did require a tiny bit of handling). I noticed some folks writing about the proximity of the tent site to the road & cars- there is one closer to the road but there is another just a little further down the trail where the main sound you hear is the rushing of the stream, and, on Labor Day wknd, the occasional ATV or dirt bike over the stream.
Communication was easy & I got to chat with Joe for a few minutes in person. Lovely. Would highly recommend, and longer than one night would be lovely!

Great Location and Host
Joe is awesome, the site is well equipped with everything you need. We were the only guests but all sites felt very private. There is plenty to see around the camp, we wish we had more time!

Very peaceful. The river/creek is pretty audible all around from the parking spot up to top of the property that backs to public lands. Great for hiking.
Plenty of chairs to sit and relax in and out of the sun/rain.
Great fire pit and camp set up.
I would go back-dog had blast running in and around the creek.

Magical Retreat
Not sure where to start. Best campsite ever for this solo traveler. I spent most of my time by the creek in my hammock, reading or just losing myself in the sounds of the water rushing over rocks and the wind in the pines. As others noted, I did hear road noise at the kitchen area but not a problem. Highly recommend this site. Absolutely magical.

Great camp! Will be back.
I loved this spot up La Plata canyon, perfect spot prior to the Kennebec race. Great camping amenities, I'm just sad that we had to leave a day early due to some animals needing vet care at home. I will 100% book this location again. Great level spot for our truck camper, but the tent site is so perfect as well. Loved being able to be right by Boren creek as well as having the opportunity if needed to shower and cook outside in a beautiful extended space. This campsite is campsite goals!
