Beautiful space and creek!
The good:
- absolutely beautiful camping space with nice layout and plenty of privacy
- creek and swimming hole were awesome. It was way too cold to swim in late October, but it was nice to do a little fishing… Small mouth and blue gill were around and hit on most everything, but not many landed… use live bait if possible!
- Creek was WILD at night with a blacklight. Tons of glowing and fluorescent rocks, animals and fungi.
- Horses were super friendly and definitely greeted me right as I arrived, but careful with the gates as the horses will follow you through.
- plenty of fire wood at site (I paid the extra fee to have wood delivered, but it lasted me all weekend, easily)
- fire pit has lots of rocks and over rack and grill grate made it easy to cook (I brought a 12 inch cast iron pan and a 2 qt saucepan)
The bad
-As others have mentioned, car noises were present. I didn’t notice it most of the time, but when sitting quietly, they definitely interrupted. I slept with earplugs because I like to sleep in and didn’t want them to wake me up.
-the compost toilet is pretty rustic. Not somewhere you can “sit and think”, but host said they are working on improving it.
The other
- definitely need 4wd. It was a lot of fun, but I don’t do much off-roading, so I’m glad I had an suv that could handle it.
Will come back, hopefully in summer, with family, so we can enjoy the swimming hole.
Thank you to the hosts for sharing their space!
