Well kept campsite with beautiful views. It was quiet and secluded. Easy check in process. Jackie was very communicative. Exactly what we were looking for! Looking forward to coming back soon.
Fantastic private site, you feel like you're waking up in a well-tended meadow. You can tell that Jackie puts a lot of thought and care into her property in the little details like easy access to water/ power and additional firewood.
Jackie came out daily to check to see if we needed anything, she would let her sweet dogs say hello for a minute, then give you the privacy you're craving on a property like hers.
Absolutely will stay again and highly recommend to others.
Enjoyed this Hipcamp a lot! Close to off road trails and many beaches. Camped with tent and my 2 small dogs. Very quiet, away from crowds and didn’t hear road noise. Felt alone, secluded from other campers for privacy at site. Stars are bright and there’s a bathroom in a camper on the property, near sites.
Would definitely stay again and do hope to come back this way for the opportunity.

Jackie is gracious, kind and my stay at her campsite was absolutely Chill AF!
This site was just what I needed - a place to pitch my tent without all of the frills and extra price. This hipcamp worked out great! It was outside of town, and not hard to find off of a main road. I did have some trouble locating my site at first, but Jackie was quick to meet me and make sure I had the right place. No firepit on my lot, which was okay for me. Water and restroom was a short walk away if I needed them. I shop a lot of my stays by the location and the price and this hipcamp hit the spot!

Super chill & super quiet! We stayed one night & slept in our Jeep…..we plan to visit again when we’re in the area. Host was very friendly and made sure we had what we need for the night.
Beautiful rustic property! From the wildflowers, to the stones, to the uniquely organized garden in Mrs. Jackie's front yard! Her lil fur-baby, Freya, is a JOY to have around! We got to see sooooo many meteors!! It was beautiful! Fire flies, meteors, a lil light thunderstorm beating on our tent while we listen to Thor beat his hammer! Beautiful experience! Highly recommend!
Thank you for your hospitality, beautiful private spot

The site was nestled in a clearing, but got a very nice breeze. A perfect place for solitude and enjoying nature.
The sites were amazing! So private, the area was beautiful. It was so quiet at night and the view of the stars was amazing! The host Jackie was so welcoming and helpful. My son keeps asking if we can camp and that lady's house with the dogs! 10/10 would stay here again.
Absolutely amazing property, very private which I think is important and the host was more than accomidable. I would recommend to everyone.
We loved this spot. It was one of most peaceful, quiet and secluded spots we’ve been to. We were the only campers here for the most part so that helped. The property is big and great for letting your dogs run around. Jackie was very helpful with anything we needed! We would love to come back. Thanks again Jackie!
Jackie is a great host. Large sites and privacy. Quiet setting. Great to hear the coyotes howling at night under the stars. Definitely going back.

Great spot. Nice and private, but great to have a bathroom nearby. My GPS gave me a little trouble getting there but Jackie answered my questions right away and got me to the right spot.

We had a great time staying on Jackie’s property! She was very kind, helpful, and generous. Answered any message/ question promptly, and even offered shelter to us when a big storm came through. And on top of that, it was gorgeous!

We had a nice time camping at Jackie’s camp. We were the only campers there so it was plenty private for us. If there were other campers, it may not have been as private as we’d like. The site we stayed at was across the path from the bathroom camper and the communal fire ring. Directions and signage was clean and sufficient. Thanks for letting us enjoy your land.

Great place for the price. Host was super nice and the camping area was great! Bathroom was super clean and Jackie provided soaps and lotions as well. Very good location if you are looking for access to the lakes!
Jakie was a great host. She allowed us to fill our water tank, provided fire wood (and even have us some extra!), and walked us back to the camp site. The setting was nice, quiet, and secluded... exactly what we were looking for. We winter camped, but I'm sure it would be a great place to stay during the warmer months as well. Would visit again!

This property is beautiful! Plenty of privacy at this site. Little to no light pollution so the stars are fantastic at night. Jackie was very accommodating and kind. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone!
Had a fantastic, although short, overnight at Jackie's Star Child site. Even though my itinerary meant I arrived very late (11pm?), Jackie met me and led me back to the site and showed me where everything was. Nice fire ring and privy at the site. Heard coyotes around midnight and again very close at about 2:30, then when I first got out of the tent at dawn, there was one standing about 25 yards checking me out! Didn't have time to reach back in for the phone to take a picture before she turned and padded off down one of the trails. What a perfect way to start the day! I broke camp and headed about half an hour north to backpack the NCT/Jordan Valley Pathway. Thought I left a section of tent pole behind (I didn't, just hid it on myself while packing up) and Jackie graciously took the time to go out to the site and see if she could spot it. Looks like there are lots of mowed trails on Jackie's property for walking, and I did see some fresh bear scat too!
