We arrived at dusk after a big day of hiking in the Adirondacks. Because there's no markings for the property, it's very easy to miss while driving. I understand why it isn't marked due to the camping location being so close to the road. Firewood was provided for us and water (unfortunately, frozen from cold temps). It was a nice place to stay overnight but I do prefer camping further away from any main roads.

Great site. Secluded and comfortable spot. Very peaceful! We have a high top vehicle and there are some low branches, so you’ll just need to drive slowly to get to the site. Overall really great and has water hookup too!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Julia’s Hipcamp for our two night stay. It is a prime location to many great hikes and just a few miles from Minerva beach. Nice large level area on the property for our 22’ camper. Julia was very helpful and communicative if needed. We would definitely stay at this location again in the future!

Loved the thoughtfully created private RV pad. Has access to potable water and waste. Easy access to many trails and town is close by. My boys and I loved the relaxing weekend amidst very pretty fall foliage.

This site worked well as a basecamp for adventures in the surrounding area. The nearby road was busier than expected, and the streetlight brighter than I would have preferred. Area dogs were a bit noisy too (undoubtedly due to the fireworks in the distance) but quieted down early enough. A convenient place to crash, but we didn't spend much time there.

We enjoyed our camping trip to Julia's spot. Having a private RV spot with sewer and water to camp was really great. We are newbie camper owners with a full size truck and a 19.6 NOBO. Great spot.

Julia is a great host and communicates well. The property is nice, neat, and very close to local beaches and other attractions. (I was able to paddle board, swim, and hike all in one day!) Awesome spot to camp solo, with family or friends!

Great stay!!
Minerva Hipcamp
Perfect location - private and clean. A little road noise, but the passing vehicles don't even know you're there. It was a perfect "1st time hipcamping" location for us. Having water on site was AWESOME! The fire-pit was great and chopped VERY dry wood pile immediately next to it when we got there. Very nice touch. We stayed 2 nights and did 2 beautiful hikes. Definitely a place to keep in the "do it again" list!!

We had a great night during our stay! The site is very well kept and clean. We had a great fire and cooked dinner in the tent area, which was in a very comfortable spot. We would definitely love to come back when we need a spot to stay to tackle more 46ers

We had a pleasant stay at the campsite. The gravel pad was level. The picnic table and fire ring were new. There was plenty of room for our tethered dog to explore. We listened to a chorus of frogs and birds. There was some road noise, and the pictured waterfront is actually about 1/4 mile away, but it was a great get-away spot.

Nice place to retreat. Quiet, Peaceful, smell of pines. Julia's suggestion that 30ft is probably a good one. We were 36 and there was some manovering to get situated and then turned around, but we manged. The generous stock of firewood was appreciated We had a very pleasant 5 days.
