The property is very unkempt and resembles Sanford and Son. They also have NO accommodations for RVs over 20 feet, as he was unaware of what the HipCamp ad says. THIS IS NOT A CAMP ITS AN TENT COMMUNITY. There are 7 sights hooked up to 1 electrical box all connected by extention cords spanning the property. Tried to charge me 700 month plus electric ...Why would I do that when I'm paying 20$ a night on Hipcamp...Children run muck all day and evening and do not attend any type of school....

That being said, I don’t think I could recommend the site to some of my friends, simply because this is not a “resort” type campground. It has a very 70’s communal type feel to it. Our stay was in the winter, so all of the vegetation was brown and dried up giving it a sketchy appearance. If you can get past the rough exterior, you will really enjoy your stay here. The people here and very kind and gracious and gave us space to enjoy our stay. We would definitely go back. > > - Eva J., February 9, 2026 > It was a disorganized mess, which isn’t good for someone traveling with a large trailer in tow. The road in has deep sand, a hairpin turn, and the property is a mess and very cramped. You should have 4wd if you’re towing. The instructions say, Pull forward to the kitchen…. There’s nothing with a sign that indicates where it is. If you have an rv, the spots are narrow, unmarked, not level, and there’s no space to back in or maneuver. If you have a tent and a small vehicle, you will fit. The property is a mess. The guy was not friendly or helpful. Good luck. We turned around and headed to Big Sc… > > - Kate P., January 23, 2026 > Nice folks, a community of interesting individuals with various skills. Educational and productive, hot showers (outside) you can eat many plants within reach. I made some life friends during my weeks there > > - Wesley D., January 15, 2026 > Helpful people, lots of beautiful plants, fires most nights, peaceful away from the center, feels a bit like a 70s commune. Quiet yet 6 miles from stores, convenient store a walking distance up the road. WiFi for those who want it is an added bonus, > > - Wesley D., January 7, 2026
