The view of the sunsets and sunrises off of Scott’s site is unmatched. He also provided plenty of extras like washing water, a shower set up, a bathroom you don’t get at many Hipcamp spots in my experience. I highly recommend his site!

Paige and I had a wonderful time at Scott’s site! The views were incredible, beautiful sunrises and sunsets were had. The site itself had a lot of great amenities and was well maintained. Scott was a phenomenal host who quickly answered any of the questions we had and gave us plenty of privacy. Plenty of great trails to hike around just a short drive away. Would highly recommend having a larger vehicle like an SUV to get to the site and navigate the terrain. I drive a Toyota rav4 and got around just fine. Would definitely recommend this site, we had a phenomenal time.

We had a lovely stay at Scott’s tent. The view was absolutely beautiful and made the entire stay worthwhile! It was also such a perk having a flushing toilet and creek water for washing. If you’re thinking of booking Scott’s tent, a couple of things to note: Although there is a road that takes you close to the tent, you have to park in a designated parking area which requires about 200 feet of an uphill hike to get your things to the tent. The paths were a little overgrown and the road up was a little tricky. We had no issues in our Jeep Wrangler, but I probably wouldn’t want to drive the road in anything with lower clearance or a much wider body. You can hear the highway at the site, but we got used to it after the first day. There is a flushing toilet in a tent not too far from the main camp, which we loved having available! The site is also very private, which we loved! All in all, as long as you feel comfortable with the drive and hike up, this was a nice spot to spend a long weekend.

The experience was amazing and the views were immaculate. Scott had everything you’d need for a glamping getaway - air mattresses, solar charging, working toilet, best container with a hoist that also doubled as a a place to hang a solar shower (super helpful). Getting up to the site itself was a little rough, I have a Hyundai Kona (which is classified as an SUV but still has a low ish clearance). We made it up very slowly with no damage to the car. I wouldn’t recommend the hike up to the campsite if your car won’t make the trek. Scott was very detailed in his pre check in instructions with how to get to camp. Bring firewood and TP for yourselves as those were limited however everything was well kept and the stay overall was exactly what we were looking for 🙂

I had a wonderful experience tent camping at Scott's campsite. The views are stunning, and while the campsite is minimally equipped, it offers everything you need. I highly recommend bringing an SUV to avoid the 12-minute walk to the site. We arrived during a storm and were relieved not to have to walk in the heavy rain. Scott promptly cleared fallen trees from the road after the storm. Additionally, the campsite is conveniently located near several mountain trailheads. Thank you Scott!

The tent site is wonderful and has a spectacular view, and Scott has appointed it with drinking water, solar lights, air mattresses, picnic table, and miraculously a flush toilet. The road up to the site was pretty gnarly, perhaps more so because it’s been such a wet year, but there is the option of parking at the bottom and walking the 1/2 mile. Unfortunately, the truck traffic on 87 is a fairly constant presence and of course more noticeable overnight. But the night sky was fabulous and all in all we had a great time at Scott’s place. The written directions for arrival were a bit misleading, but despite being in Peru (as in, South America) Scott responded to our messages and was very helpful.

The experience of staying in a Yurt overlooking the mountains was so unique! You are completely secluded and have a breathtaking view you can't find in other camp sites, air bnbs or hotels. I recommend this place for those looking for an upgraded, unique camping experience.

The yurt was magical and the view was spectacular. Scott’s a wonderful host. You can tell he’s poured a lot of love into the campsite. And his spot is so close to all the great high peaks hikes. We’ll definitely be back.

In a word - amazing. My daughter and I had a great stay. The site is totally private. The view over the lake is spectacular. The site itself is killer. The yurt was spacious and comfortable (and completely stable - we spent one night in 40mph gusts and driving rain and it was totally comfortable and dry inside). The outhouse was clean and hidden from view from the main campsite. And Scott is a gracious and welcoming host. He appointed the site with little things (solar shower; fresh drinking water; a towel; toilet paper; etc.). And he was immediately responsive to any questions we had, but gave us total privacy once we arrived. Finally, if you are doing any hiking in the high peaks, you can't find too many better locations, as you can be in the hear of the high peaks in 30 mins. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Scott's place to anybody.
