Bear Lake meets da Yellow Dog River
Great place to stay, great host!
Susan was a great host! We spent two nights at her tent site and couldn't have been happier. Her property is beautiful, reasonably secluded and she really puts in effort to keep harmony with the nature all around her. We brought our two dogs and were a little embarrassed at their behavior towards our host (they had a hard time getting used to a "stranger" around) but Susan handled it like a champ and was very understanding 🙂
She's very knowledgeable about the area and took us to a nice dark beach to watch the night sky and look for northern lights (no luck this time!) and she had flashlights to use if you're interested in the fames "yooperlites"!
Heads up on wildlife in the area: I had a flying squirrel glide past about 6 inches in front of my face on the way down to our site one night and what I'm pretty sure was a Barred Owl wake us all up with its haunting calls at about 3 am. While both made me jump, both were pretty cool experiences.
Overall, 10/10 experience. When we head back up to hunt for more Kona, we'll definitely be staying here again

Bear Lake meets da Yellow Dog River
The site was great! Susan was so kind and as a solo camper I felt so safe!! Loved being right next to the river and enjoying a true getaway. Beautiful magical spot to bring in the fall season!!

Bear Lake meets da Yellow Dog River
I would recommend this site to anyone wanting to get away, have some peace and quiet, and stay on well and thoughtfully maintained land. Sue was an amazing host, very available to communicate with, give suggestions for sites to see, food to eat, and everything in between. The tent site was perfect, 15 feet from the beautiful river, the sounds and seclusion provided me some of the best sleep I've had in a long time.
If you are curious at all, do the foraging tour. Sue is highly knowledgeable and in love with the land.
As my first hipcamp experience, this is going to be hard to beat!
Thank you Sue for hosting such a fine ecosystem for me to gather my thoughts and recenter myself with the Lord. I hope to see you again someday and enjoy the peace and quiet between the Yellow Dog River and Bear Lake!

Cozy UP Sunset Cabin
We had the most amazing time on Susan’s property! The cabin was cute and cozy and secluded among the beautiful forest. The river was also very relaxing and we had a beautiful view of the lake right out the door. Truly a magical place and Susan was the kindest host! We hope to be back again soon. Side note the tent spot also looked incredible.

Cozy UP Sunset Cabin
Lovely Stay!
Had a super relaxing stay at Susan't property! We rented both the cabin and tent site so one of us could camp and the other had the rustic cabin. Susan is a thoughtful and caring host, and her property is gorgeous. We took her wild edibles course, which was fascinating, I learned so much. She is an excellent teacher. Cabin and outhouse were very clean. Susan was super responsive to all messages and requests, super accomodating, even messaged us when there was a severe weather alert. You park a short walk from the cabin, as well as the tent area which is fine. Location is central to do a lot of things in the area.
