Great Idea, But Not for Us
We recently stayed at this camp and wanted to share an honest review—not to be negative, but to help others know what to expect. The camp is thoughtfully designed and located in a beautiful forest next to an awesome action sports school for kids. Access to the skatepark, gym, and bike trails when not in use was a great perk. Jim, the host, was very friendly and accommodating.
The canvas tents are set up in a large communal circle. They feel private, and the heaters and heated mattress pads made cold nights more comfortable. That said, you’re close to your neighbors, and noise travels. Quiet hours start at 10PM, but some guests stayed up talking around the fire until 2AM, making it hard to sleep. You can also hear highway noise.
The tents were clean inside, but there was visible mold & mildew on the canvas—understandable in a wet forest, but still a bit off-putting. The beds were also quite firm. Our biggest issue was with dogs: despite leash rules, several dogs were off-leash or had long tethers that allowed them to reach our tent, including one from the host. Our leashed, senior dog was stressed by these encounters.
There are only two bathrooms for the whole camp, and they weren’t very clean during our stay—one was out of paper towels all day, and people left personal items inside.
Overall, the location is great and it suited our basic needs, but the close communal setup and lack of rule enforcement weren’t a good fit for us.
