The campsite is cherished for its peaceful and private setting, nestled in a beautiful pine forest with plenty of trails to explore. Guests appreciate the friendly host Patricia and her dog Vader, who often becomes an additional friendly companion during the stay. Some campers found the road to the site a bit challenging, especially for larger vehicles, but the tranquility and nature experiences seem to compensate for this. While the site offers a serene escape, a few facilities could use improvements, as noted by some visitors.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Perfect for what we needed, Patricia was accessible and pleasant and we didn't need anything. Vader was such an added bonus, our baby loved him and he greeted us every morning and escorted us around. Clean and safe, bed was comfortable, no complaints.

The Hollow
Had an amazing time at The Hollow! There is plenty of room to park, setup, and have a fire pit. Vader did an amazing job of leading us to our campsite. I would highly recommend this if you’re heading to the beach for the weekend and need a place to stay. Thank you Patricia (and Vader)!

We were met by the owner and her dog. The dog kept us company and escorted us out. lol in all seriousness, very quiet and peaceful. If you absolutely have to have wifi you better bring it. We were content in the quiet. We will be back

We loved the site! Our spot was in a nice, flat clearing in beautiful pine forest. We could hear all kinds of birds as we woke up. Patricia was very helpful and made sure we found the spot as we got there after dark. Great spot!

Was able to add days and extend trip and was happy to be able to enjoy it a bit longer. Short drive if need to get to stores or a beach. Everything was great. Would recommend.

Just what I needed. Calm and relaxing. RV did the trick. Had everything I needed. Cool area to walk around. Nice breeze. Patricia was excellent with quick responses to any questions I had and the dog Vader is a champion. Easy drive to Leland anytime I needed anything. Did notice some really cool tent spots on the property as well. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Patricia’s land is beautiful. The campsites are woodsy and private. The Sundance RV we stayed in was comfy and well supplied. Patricia generously donated a couple of items we forgot. Also, we were able to have a few friends join us for fun around the campfire one night. We really enjoyed the trails for walking our dog, who was welcomed by Patricia and her dog, Vader.

Overall a good spot. Patricia was very nice and accommodated my moving to a different location on the property. getting a vehicle up and mini teardrop to pine grove was a bit tricky. but the closer spot was no problem.

We had a great time tent camping on Patricia's property! Plenty of good sites to choose from, dark skies, and quiet. Your pets and children will become fast friends with the very nice onsite canine who will stop by periodically.

We miss understood that the site can accommodate a 22’ RV. We have a 22’ travel trailer and could not navigate the site and had to back all the way out. However, Patricia was very accommodating by allowing us to camp near her home for two nights. Based on comparison to other Hip Camp locations this is definately more primitive.

Overall I wanted to get away for a couple days peace of mind no stress be able to take a nice hot shower enjoy relaxation with my dogs maybe turn on the television for some entertainment I couldn't do any of those things since I had arrived no electricity no hot water to take a shower and then with that being said I think that the place was sort of haunting and the reason I say that is the electricity the lights in the RV were flickering even she tried to hook up a generator to that a generator would keep electric running not turn it off she had a full tank of gas in that generator and immediately within 5 minutes it shut off I believe that it kind of creeped me up out staying there besides everything else that was not working on top of that there was a TV that I couldn't watch because there was no remote and apparently it was just Wi-Fi so it was an older TV set so she didn't indicate that at the time on on her the website but what I did some further digging not too long ago somebody was killed off of Old Mill Creek road and then her body was dumped in a black bag on that road I may be wrong I might just be paranoid but it was definitely not something I'd ever want to experience again in my life I was terrified and very paranoid now she ended up moving me to her personal RV so I could finish staying there she gave me over half of my refund back but when I got to the personal RV I couldn't take a shower there because it was leaking water in the bathroom so the whole experienc

We didn’t get to stay the whole time due to me getting called into work, but it was cozy and quiet and that’s what we needed. My dog got to interact with some other dog friends and that was cool and the farm fresh eggs were an added bonus. We would definitely come back probably more in the summer when it’s not as cold and there’s more to do.

Wonderful night under the trees! Beautiful spot. Highly recommend. Bonus, you’ll be visited by Vader the dog who was just a sweetie and a hoot! My dog enjoyed the playtime!

Pine Grove was awesome, lots of space and felt very private. Mosquitos were awful so keep that in mind! We liked having the composting toilet close to our site and loved the fire pit! Thanks Patricia!!

Pine Grove
This place is perfect. Beautiful trails and plenty of spots to put up a tent and relax in the shade. The road down is narrow but if you have depth perception and a mid sized SUV you’ll be fine. My RAV4 made it with zero problems. Patricia is super helpful and responds immediately to any questions. Will be back.

Patricia made our trip possible with her flexibility. She was very flexible with our requests and we had a great trip! Jeff was very helpful and a generous help!

Very private when no one else was there and tranquil! I think it’s a tight fit if there’s multiple cars in the grove at once, but it was a nice experience for primitive camping! Especially having a toilet available! Highly recommend using bug spray when camp fires are not allowed to keep out the bugs!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay in Patricia’s RV. Everything worked well and we loved taking the dog for walks along the many trails. It was also nice to drive the backroads and just site see.
