Great place to relax in nature. Set along the river and meditate. Site 1 is right on the river. The bank is a little steep to climb for me. But with no one in site 2 I just walked around. Didn’t get any fishing bites in the river, but didn’t try very hard either. Did experience the motorcycle noise in the night that others mentioned. Not sure why they need to ride in the dark. Thought I’d try it out after seeing a couple of trusted friends I know leave reviews before. So thanks to JimB. and Fallon.

Absolutely 5 stars! Felt disconnect from the world. Very private and primitive. Will be back this summer!

The best camping experience ever🌲
There is literally SO many amazing things I can say about Kira (the host, absolutely love her), AND her place, I don't even know where to begin😅 Our family of 5 and pup, had the MOST amazing little trip EVER here in our camping history. The space is perfect for tranquility nestled deep enough in the woods to feel AWAY from it ALL. The water was literally RIGHT there, and my 19 year old son and 12 year old daughter LOVE fishing and had success catching blue gill and sunnies. 🎣🐠They saw lots of catfish and bass in the water too!!! If you’re looking to feel close to nature, 🪵🌲 have a reset, AND feel rejuvenated, you HAVE to stay here! It’s also amazing that you can drive RIGHT in to your camp site, all while having the primitive camping feel 🥰 Major stores (Walmart super center, Publix, fast food, etc) are all super close (within literally 10 mins) if you need to make a super quick run out to grab anything. Kira is extremely responsive and easy to reach if you have any questions or need anything, and sooooo soooo sweet and accommodating! We found our new camping site 100%!!! Would 1000% recommend.

My new go-to camping spot!
Excellent site for primitive camping! Very secluded and peaceful, right next to a creek. It was chilly at night, but they have awesome fire pits, so easy for me to warm up. I felt miles away from the hustle and bustle. From my experiences on Hipcamp thus far, the communication was unparalleled, Kira couldn't have been more accommodating and responded very quickly to any questions I had. Just be advised, there is no power, toilet, or potable water source, which was no problem for my situation. The fairy lights were a pleasant surprise that I didn't expect (not blinding or anything, just a nice subtlety at my site). 11 out of 10 for me, will definitely be back, has to be my go-to camping site at this point (full disclosure: I live in the Tampa area, so the drive time was a major plus for me). Thank you so much Kira for an amazing long and relaxing weekend!
