This site was so beautiful and well maintained! We had a great stay on Todd’s land and was so close to all the activities we wanted to do around DuPont. Will absolutely plan to be back soon!

The property was beautiful. The leaves were changing and the campsite was perfectly positioned on this pond. It was peaceful with an abundance of amenities! Todd was great giving us detailed instructions for everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was great, lodge was cozy, campsite immaculate and close access to trails. 4WD is needed for all sites but the hilltop ones. Will definitely be back!

#2 Bunny Hop

Gorgeous Escape!

Absolutely breathtaking spot - there was space for hammock camping, and the bank provided solid protection against wind. The views and the hikes were wonderful, and the space for us to have a cup of coffee or enjoy the hot tub were such nice perks! Very nice local coffee and bar options as well. We cannot wait to visit again (and this time bring our bikes!)

HillTop #2

A better retreat from the heat.

Hilltop #2 is a very large, densely forested and shady site with #1 immediately adjacent, so not completely private if occupied. Given the cool fall temperatures, we would have preferred some sunshine. We were always in the dark. The site only had 20 amp service which was ok, but no water or dumping available which wasn’t ideal for us. Had to carry jugs of water from the lodge. Location for biking was awesome, just a minute away from DuPont Recreational Forest. Also enjoyed some nearby restaurants in Cedar Mountain. The indoor bathroom and shower was great! The hot tub was amazing, though the clutter from renovations was a distraction.
