Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a peaceful and secluded experience, ideal for those yearning for privacy and a connection with nature. Guests frequently commend the hosts, Steven and Paulette, for their warm hospitality, often going above and beyond to ensure visitors are comfortable. However, it's worth noting that the terrain can be challenging; a vehicle with good clearance is advisable, especially if rain is forecast, as the trails become tricky to navigate. Some guests were concerned about the presence of hunting activities, indicating a need for awareness of the surroundings.

The stay was lovely! Views were exceptional and Steven was very kind and helpful. Our unmodified Rav4 with AWD handled the trail quite well, but expect it to be very rocky and steep. A good option for tent or hammock camping. The site was well secluded while still being just 20 minutes away from everything. I highly recommend taking out rain insurance for this site. The trail becomes unpassible by car with rain. But it's well worth the trouble.

Really nice guy, couldn't ask for better. I showed up later than I thought I would and he was extremely accommodating. Had fire ring and firewood all set up for me.

Lovely and quiet spot to spend the night. We got in late and were escorted to the site by Steven. He gave us the lay of the land and things to watch out for. It was exactly what we were looking for.
