Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a picturesque setting with stunning views and spacious grounds, perfect for groups or a peaceful getaway. Most visitors appreciate its privacy, responsive hosts, and the added convenience of a bar area. However, some reviews mention issues such as trash, overgrown brush blocking views, and occasional noise from nearby off-road vehicles. It's a well-loved spot with a few quirks that could be improved upon to enhance the overall experience.

Nice private spot, besides trash being everywhere when we got there and the brush being overgrown so the view is blocked a lot, it was a nice place to camp. We enjoyed our trip :)
