Backwoods camping retreat

The place was over run and there was no communication from the owner. I do not recommend this spot. I should have read the reviews from the past but I was looking for a secluded area. I am going to try and get my money back.

Backwoods camping retreat

Property is not maintained and owners are not available. Find out from one of the locals that the owner and his wife are currently in jail. Supposedly there is a fella by the name of Pablo who is watching over the place but they are not to be found. 0/10 ended up not even staying there but short of putting in a stop pay with the bank there is no getting or money back. Can't speak with the owner for a refund when they are in jail.

Backwoods camping retreat

Patrick never responded to any of my questions and inquiries resulting in the last minute need to alter our trip and find new accommodations. I am under the impression that Patrick’s listing is inactive and I am currently working with Hipcamp on a refund. Please do not book unless you are able to confirm that the listing is active.

Backwoods camping retreat

This place was wonderful! So quiet! We will definitely be going back. It is in such close proximity to all the activities and trails the piney woods have to offer. The dogs had as much fun as we did, plenty of room to run around and throw the ball. Appears more sites in the process of grooming which is even more exciting. So many different kinds of birds audible every morning and evening. Canopy a little dense to see many stars but it’s only 100yds to the pond where you can see them all.

Backwoods camping retreat

First time primitive camping, and didn’t hate it. But there was another camp group that was equally confused as I was. They took the entry spot as other spots were muddy and difficult to get to. I paid for the extra wood, didn’t get it. My fire pit (hole) didn’t have the grill plate. Due to the wet ground, tire tracks were all prominent and difficult to get situated.
