Host lacks southern hospitality
This was our first time using HipCamp and I was very disappointed with how rude the host was. Firstly, the “friendly” dogs are not all friendly. Victor instructed me to follow him after part of our group had already been shown to our spot. One of the dogs defensively barked and circled my car. Victor sped off into a wooded area and I stopped my car to avoid hitting the dog. Victor angrily circles back to my car as I was turning around to follow him and he goes, “What part of follow me do you not understand? Do you think I’m a predator luring you into the woods?” That was a very creepy and unnecessary thing to say, especially as it was just me and my young children in my car. He then rolls his eyes and I follow him to where my friends were. He then approaches my friends and says, “Who’s girlfriend is this? She’s not very bright.” Again, a very rude and unnecessary thing to say. Doesn’t seem very bright to me to insult guests. Not sure if he was having a bad day, but he was not at all like what the other reviewers mentioned. We are locals and were wanting to fish with some friends that were out of state. He made us feel very uncomfortable and I felt very weirded out by the predator comment. We usually use another site to book camping spots and have never dealt with a host like this.

The land is beautiful, lots to do. Victor is very helpful and down to earth. Would recommend his place to people and go again!

What a great first Hipcamp experience! Victor was an excellent host and his property is beautiful! The access to a bathroom and shower was much appreciated after a long day in the hot sun. Our boys LOVED fishing and caught dozens of fish. There were trails to explore on the side-by-side and a little sandy swimming spot on the pond. We enjoyed the company of Blue, Victor’s sweet lab, during our stay. She was great company for our pup and our kids loved her. This was the peaceful weekend away we were hoping for! 10/10

Amazing little spot for a get away!
The land is beautiful. We took our senior dog so that she could enjoy the outdoors. Victor is an amazing host who met us apon arrival and helped us chose a spot. He checked in with us often to make sure we didn’t need anything. Blue is the most friendliest dog and loves to say hello every morning. We rented the ATV and rode all day back and forth to the different ponds. The catfish we caught are the biggest we’ve ever seen. We will definitely be back to enjoy the ponds and fishing. We highly recommend this spot!

Plenty of Fish
Victor was a great host. Caught quite a few bass and a nice big blue catfish in the his catfish pond. All in all, I would 100% recommend staying at this homestead.

This was our first trip with Hipcamp and we loved it. Victor met us and helped us find somewhere to set up after all the rain there had been. Fishing was great and Victor checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our dog loved running around and had fun playing with Victor’s dog, Blue.
