HipCamp Site 104

I had an awesome time here with my pals. The campsite is tucked away in the trees just on the other side of the grassy meadow. Brewery and bath house is about a 5-10min walk from the site.

Group Site 105

The site felt nice and remote. All 5 of the Hipcamp sites are a little separate from the rest of the campground, and 105 is at the end. It was easy to locate, and it was fun to be able to go over to the brewpub for happy hour. There is a mix of sun and shade at the site, which was perfect for tent placement and stargazing. The only caveat--and I wouldn't say drawback, just something to consider when planning--is that it's also the farthest site from trash and the bath house. We didn't bring a giant water jug for washing dishes, so we ended up driving our dirty dishes to the pump at the bathhouse once a day. You also have a line of sight to the other Hipcamp sites, but that's pretty standard for campgrounds. No one else was there when we were there Monday - Wednesday.

Spectacular wooded lots

The group sites 100, 101, were beautiful, wooded lots with lots of space. A field very close by made it a perfect spot for family camping with children.

Wonderful two night camping trip!

My son and I had an awesome two nights here. A lot of space, great views, amazing hikes within a short drive, and of course, excellent food at the brewpub.

Fun place to stay

Loved camping at Devil’s Backbone! The Hipcamp sites were larger and more secluded than the other sites, which is exactly what our group preferred. The longer walk to the bath house was worth the privacy. The brewery base camp offered fun entertainment and several food and drink options. We did a few tours and tastings in the area, but it was nice to walk less than 5 minutes from our site to wrap up each night. There was live music Saturday, and the other evenings we played the available yard games. The facilities were clean and well maintained.

Group Site 103

The site was fantastic… spacious and private. There were a lot of trees & lots of shade. No rain for us- so it was perfect. If it rains though, this particular site will be a muddy mess. Site 104 & 105 will be better for rainy camping. The bath houses are a 3 min walk and were very clean and well kept. We will stay again!
