One of our favorite places to camp. Beautiful trees and we love that the dogs can be off leash and walk with us on the trails. Great place to be one with nature. Plus Eric is the best host. Responds right away and checks in to see if you need anything. Highly recommend! Patty

What a gorgeous campsite! Tons of space to roam and explore, and a stunning view of the river and bluffs. Great for secluded solo camping and large groups too! Eric is a five-star host. He is super responsive, and even came down to lend a hand when I lost my dog and ultimately helped me find him. We'll certainly be returning in the future!

Alma's last outing.
After 14 amazing years it was time to say goodbye to our beloved dog but we wanted her to have one last adventure and there was no place she enjoyed more than Eric's amazing spot. I cannot thank Eric enough for his compassion and kindness for allowing us the added time before saying goodbye.

Very private. Didn't realize the lower camp spot was so far away from the upper area. I would have loved to camp down by the river but host doesn't want people driving down there (which is understandable) which means I would have to carry everything down and up a hill. Plus the bathroom is on the upper part so that would suck to have to walk all the way back up to use the bathroom. Other than that I had a relaxing time, nice fire pit. I spent the day down by the river and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I would definitely come back again.

This is one of the best campsites I have ever been one. It was a short stay but we did not want to leave. The woods and the river view was great. We will definitely be back. Eric was great! Thanks for letting us stay.
