This is a great spot for a quick unplanned romantic getaway close to town. It is quiet, and private and the bell tent was cozy. Directions were clear and easy to find. Be quiet when arriving and you may see deer or other wild life while pulling in. We thoroughly enjoyed our short time here.

Home Away From Home!
Beautiful site with a romantic setting. Loved that we were 5 minutes away from downtown but also felt secluded. The porta-John was extremely clean! The tent was amazing. We were actually talking about purchasing one and where we would put it. Bed in the tent was comfortable. Loved how the bed frame and the furniture was made out of repurposed wood pallets. Would definitely recommend and stay at again. We had a one year old and a pup with us and they loved it as well!

Will not book again!
I road trip often, and often don’t have an exact location where I will end up for a night but rather, drive as far as I can in a day. That’s why I seriously rely on the accuracy of listings. This was listed as ready to go for tents and that’s what I was prepared to sleep in. I booked and after spending about 30mins trying to find the location, I contacted the host. They helped me find the location but informed me that there was construction and the site was not camp ready but I could sleep in my car on their site. They offered a refund since none of the amenities listed were actually available to me, but when I accepted and asked for the refund, the host decided to stop responding to my messages. I messaged again to give them a second opportunity to refund and make the situation better. This site was after all $40. It wasn’t just $20. I spent less than $20 to have a site with water, showers, laundry, bathrooms, etc. the next night only ~30 mins from this location. Aside from the poor management of the listing (if under construction just make it so people can’t book or disclose this in the discription). I was expecting this site to have more privacy than a typical campground, but it’s honestly just in a wooded area between a bunch of houses. You’re basically backyard camping, just in someone else’s backyard. Definitely NOT worth $40 even with all the amenities that the listing stated, I would have felt the $40 was too much, especially now I know the other options in the area

Easy to find! Great spot, feels miles out of town and is actually close! Can walk for coffee to Hatchet Coffee, .4 mile. Loved the elevate fire pit and picnic table. Beautiful setting, saw deer this morning while cooking breakfast.
Great gas station about 1/2 mile away on Bamboo Road and 221. Mobil.
Very clean. We have a 25’ sprinter that fit perfect. Easy to turn around. Flat.
Big space for tent campers as well.
Super impressed. Felt very safe.

Solo Getaway
Shane’s campsite is in the perfect location right on the fringe of Boone secluded in the back of a neighborhood. The directions are a little off and you have to hunt for the site, but other than that it’s a great, safe spot for a campsite with some pretty mountain views in between the trees!
