Great private spot. Very beautiful. Next time I’ll bring my fly rod.

Very nice space. Beautiful mountain views on a well cared for property. We never heard from the host, so in other words it was perfect. It was a simple transactional exchange of value from both Hipcamp participants. I highly recommend this spot. We did have a visitor at night, a small black bear. Unlike the other knucklehead that left a bad review after a bear sighting, we thought it was cool. If you go out to Mother Nature and see a bear, don’t be shocked. Pull up your manties, it will be ok. The one and only thing I’d suggest to the host is a little more clear directions on where we are allowed to camp. After we made the left by the rock pile it was a little unclear for a first time visitor where the approved camping areas were. Adding a sign or two would be helpful to make sure guests know they are in the correct place.

I’ve camped rough lots before but these sites couldn’t even be called… rough. Despite the owners direction, sites weren’t clearly marked. We had to walk around to figure it out. . Grungy fire pits hadn’t been cleaned out. While there was some past mowing done, the advertised track thru grass to sites was not mowed recently or maintained and grass was too high in the actual sites we did walk to. If u are going to advertise basic sites in prime tick territory, u must keep the actual sites’ grass areas mowed close to the ground. The amount of ticks was stunning. I was still picking them off my husband for miles after we drove away and finally we had to stop and have him strip, putting all his clothes in a tightly closed garbage bag. While the stream there looks lovely to fish, I would not advise anyone to try this site. We don’t mind camping in fields or managing a few ticks, but this unmaintained site was not fit for camping and it was prime tick territory. And charging for it was unethical.
