Off the grid or connected, your cho
I loved it at BaseCamp, and the Brook Ridge site! This place is the absolute perfect blend of being able to immerse in nature in a very quiet, secluded spot; but to also have the amenities of the lodge with bathrooms, showers, fridge/freezer, gorgeous kitchen to cook in, and other resources/ features close by is just ideal- your choice to stay “off the grid” at your site, or lean on all the conveniences of the lodge more if preferred.
The Brook Ridge site (the most secluded site) could be a bit of a strenuous walk for some people. The description says a 5-7 minute walk from its parking area. I’m in decent shape and found it to be more of a 3-5 minute walk, but the walk back uphill from the tent to the parking area is certainly a bit steep and could be challenging for many I’m sure! I highly recommend bringing a foldable garden wagon or something for transporting gear if at Brook Ridge or Hidden Ridge.. despite the walk, the seclusion of those sites is well worth it if that’s your flavor!
Jane was incredibly nice and left me some local eggs when she found out I was mostly cooking at my site, and both Jane and Mike have a good sense of leaving people be, but also being communicative and close by if needed.
The lodge was incredibly clean and modern, and the overall grounds are well maintained too- All in a stunning surrounding area. I will definitely be back!
