Such a gem! Love this place.
Rick's cabin was quaint, clean, comfortable, and was everything I wanted and needed for this long weekend. The land was simply stunning. Lodge pole pines, sandy trails, beautiful mossy marshy areas, and from what I hear, the potential for morels. Didn't find any because of rain, but there's always next time!
I brought way too many things, not knowing what to expect and this being my first HipCamp adventure.
Beds had fresh, clean linens, pillows, and there were lots of warm blankets. A flashlight, butane burner for cooking, candles for evenings, and plenty of wood for the fire were all there and ready for me. Camp chairs too!
I love that previous HipCampers left things for the next person like candles, and notes. In the spirit of things I left a couple citronella candles and some incense myself.
Rick himself was just lovely. He was exactly the right amount of friendly and helpful, and "let the girl be a hermit" in the woods. ☺️ He checked in to make sure I had all the wood and kindling I needed, especially on the day it rained. He also made a lunch location suggestion in town. Super helpful guy.
Brought my dog, we saw turkey tracks and deer tracks, were awakened by a roudy woodpecker, and heard coyotes howling early in the morning. A pair of loud herons flew overhead half a dozen times. Crows, ravens, hawks. So many birds. Such a great place for wildlife!
The wood burning stove was plenty warm enough for 40-50 degree nights.
I can't say enough about this gem.
