I got to the location. I never heard from the host. I’m the sign at the gate says no trespassing. I had no way to get in with the gate closed and warning sign to not enter. No answers. Denied a refund. Terrible experience and host. I’d definitely not recommend trying or wasting your time & money.

Did not want to have to do a review like this, but Tyler had been really nice about the concerns of the rain, but then I began to have a weird encounter with him. Asked me to send a picture of myself to him & then proceeded to send me inappropriate texts. Did not even stay here due to the texts. This me and my friend feel super uncomfortable.

This place is absolutely beautiful I hate that it rained me out so I was only able to stay one of the 2 nights planned.. It was awesome though & I definitely want to come back when I’m able to. Host Tyler was really nice & welcoming!

The site is lovely and quiet. We camped by the pond and the fall colors really hit the spot. When we arrived, Tyler was very pleasant and said to set up wherever we want, and pointed to the spots next to the pond as well as indicated that past the pond was a clearing in the woods that people also like to camp in. He also said to let him know if anything needed to be leveled and offered us firewood. We did not get a tour of the property or a guide to our spot like the description indicated.
On the third day it rained the entire day, so we left the site and drove around looking at the fall foliage. When we returned to the spot we had been parked on it looked ok, and our error, we did not get out and walk on the dirt. When we drove on it our van started to slide, so we attempted to back out, and unfortunately got stuck. I texted Tyler to asked if he had a way to pull us out. His response was "maybe, be back soon". In the meantime, my husband walked up to the barn, and one of the ranch hands came down and pulled us out with his pickup. I messaged Tyler back to let him know. A few minutes later he messaged me again and was basically yelling at us. "That road and damn better not be torn up, do y'all not have 4x4" (his listing does not indicate that 4x4 is ever necessary) "we have 15k tied up in fixing that road and I can't afford to fix it again, I hope y'all didn't attempt to drive on the dam of the pond" (no obvious dam, was never told there was a dam, or that there was a spot we shouldn't drive on). We asked if he could clarify where the damn was, because we didn't want to be where he didn't want us and explained that we had been attempting to park right where we had been for 2 days. He replied, "at this point it's too late and dark to try to move much, just wherever you can park will have to work” That was the last we heard from him. He never clarified where the dam was - we guessed it was the grass road/path that led to the clearing in the woods he had pointed out on day one, that people like to camp in. But if you can camp there, then you have to drive on the dam so... Anyway, we left the following morning with no damage to anything, a few tire tracks in the mud not near where we think the dam was. If no rain is in the forecast, it's a nice place. Unfortunately, since we didn't get the tour, we didn't know where to find the creek etc. that other people have commented on, our dogs would have loved that. The pond is nice, the horses are beautiful. Oh, and it's 38-44 minutes from the property to Falls Park in Greenville depending on traffic. I specifically asked this question before booking and was told 25 minutes.

Tyler was an amazing host. He was very polite and hospitable. He explained where everything was and said if we needed anything to feel free to contact him. There were some other people that were working on the property as well and they were also very hospitable and friendly. I would highly recommend coming to this location.

A beautiful visit. The campsite was secluded, not far from town. I loved getting in the river and seeing the horses. Tyler was very helpful.

Tyler and his wife were amazing. We spent time playing down by the creek and they supplied us with firewood, we booked last minute and they
were very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. My daughter enjoyed the pony and hilarious goat. We will be back. :)

Primitive Farm/Ranch Camping
This was my first experience with hip camp and Tyler C.’s ranch. This was an amazing experience and I was so welcomed by the friendly host. I was at ease with the surroundings and all of the amenities. I took the row boat out on the pond, enjoyed beautiful sunsets, played and bathed in the creek. The creek was quite the attraction to me. You can walk out on the rocks, sunbathe, play in the water and relax. The water was clean and refreshing to take a bath! There were rafts to float around and it was so peaceful. I loved waking up to hear the sounds in nature and seeing the beautiful horses. There is a bathroom available, trails and just an overall beautiful view. I will be back.

Primitive Farm/Ranch Camping
Had a great time! He is working on setting up more places to camp, it's a work in progress, and he has great ideas. The one ideal spot had no shade so we opted for a spot that was a little more uneven so we would have some shade. Everyone was very friendly! The horses were beautiful although they said they don't have horses available for riding right now. Bathroom at the barn is a plus! Beautiful trails to walk and the stream and lake are great places to cool off on a hot day. Plenty of firewood around to chop and use. Dollar General close by in case you forget anything. He is off to a great start and look forward to going back.

Tyler was on vacation for the holiday weekend, but his brother was able to show us around the property and find us the perfect campsite. It was excellent to find somewhere so relaxing and secluded, yet so close to home.

We decided on a whim that we wanted to go camping. I decided to check out Hipcamp and found Tyler's listing under an hour from us (We're in Spartanburg, SC.). It was an awesome experience! The views were amazing. The freedom and seclusion were exactly what we needed and GREAT. They also includes free firewood for our fire which was super kind. Highly recommend! :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the farm. We set up camp at Site #1 by the pond. Beautiful views throughout the day. We took a hole afternoon to walk down to the creek and wade in the water/sun on the beach. It was a perfect way to spend the hotter part of the day.
My only critique is that we were not provided much info of the property/trails by the host as the posting advertised we would receive. The host was out of town while we were there, so it would have been nice to have the welcoming information that was advertised put into an email/word doc/pdf or something. That being said, the host responded to the questions that I messaged him via Hipcamp.
A lovely stay that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Very cool place. We didn't get to meet Tyler but we met a group of others at the barn who were very friendly. They told us where to set up camp and how to get to the creek. The creek was awesome. Our 3 year old and golden retriever played in it until they both had to nap.
Well water was nice and cold and there is a bathroom in the barn to use. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at Primitive Farm/Ranch! There are horses to pet, an incredible pond to fish in, and lots of land to explore. When we got to our campsite, there was already firewood ready to go. We will definitely be back again!

The location is pretty with trails to walk, nature to see and the spot we had by the pond was serene. Tyler was very hospitable.

The hosts are terrifically friendly, and the farm is quiet, secure, and really interesting with the horses on site. The hosts had firewood and a fire-building area mapped out, and after a very nice introduction, they checked to see if I needed anything and then left me to enjoy the area.

Tyler was super friendly and very helpful!
Camped right by a large pond, with several creeks nearby.
Tons of room to roam and stretch your legs, view some wildlife and enjoy the absolute peace and quiet.
Couldn't have asked for a nicer way to spend a saturday!

The site and amenities were exactly as described, and Tyler, the host, was extremely professional and a pleasure to talk with.
This was my first experience with Hipcamp and I will definitely be going back to his location!

Super cool place with a lot to do! Unfortunately i was there during some pretty heavy rain and didn't get to explore much until dark. Everyone showed a lot of hospitality and I got to pet the horses. This place would be a great summer trip with all the water around.
