Michelle and Erik is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Erik's Swedish parents Ulf and Petsy Kahn purchased the Ranch in 1969, raising horses and cattle (200 head at one time). They rode the trails, tended the cows, and had great times fishing, swimming and camping. Campers can enjoy Kayaking, hiking and Swimming at our beautiful riverside location! Camp by river with tent, trailor or RV, RV "Boondockers" are welcome. Kayakers and Paddleboarders will love the location, camping right on the 32 mile John Pollack water trail. The Quaint town of La Center can be your destination, an easy paddle, about four miles of natural wetlands and wildlife along the way. Visit The new IIani Casino 15 minutes away, offering entertainment and five star restaurants. We are really excited to share some of the most beautiful areas by creating a few private campsites overlooking the river. We want it to be everything the crowded campgrounds are not!

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 25 ft

Camp 1 is on East end if Camp....spacious with plenty of room for multiple tents in large flat grassy area, or below near river. It feels private, is beautiful ,and works well to book with camp 2 for family and friend groups. It also has the iconic and ever popular rope swing for the brave at heart. IMPORTANT NOTES : Please be aware camps are located on a bluff above river (drop varies between 1 ft and 10 ft depending on time of year) that abruptly drops off. Tents may be set up higher up on bank if this is a concern. Although the settings are beautiful, children and dogs in particular , must be monitored near edge.

Camp 4 is roomy and very private feeling. Beautiful views right on the river, small access to water right in camp via a knotted rope...kids and dogs appreciate. 2 small tents can be set below near campfire area, larger tent or camper/rv on grassy flat space just above.

Site 2 has at least 2 areas up top for tents..large or small or room for one RV. Perfect balance of Sun and Shade. A firepit, 2 'Andirondack' chairs, bistro table and chairs...and wooden picnic table complete your Camp. A great choice for small or larger groups ,if combined with camp 1. Adjacent to dock , well water, and porto-pots...but not TOO close. A beautiful, camp right over the River.

Camp 3

RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 25 ft

Camp 3 is adjacent to the dock and swimming area, yet very private. This site is a bit more intimate, best for 2 to 4 people. Shade and sun are in good balance... and Porto-pots are across the way, not too far. It has one spot for a small tent below near river...and space above for a tent or trailer. It does not have as much potential parking as the other sites however. Important notes: Please be aware camps are located on a bluff above river (drop varies between 1 ft and 10 ft depending on time of year) that abruptly drops off. Tents may be set up higher up on bank if this is a concern. Although the settings are beautiful, children and dogs in particular , must be monitored near edge.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 25 ft

Camp 5 ...the most spacious of all. Big open space on the West end of the campground, yet with plenty of privacy. Sandy slope to the river and knotted rope to help kids and agile folks down to water. Popular Turtle sunbathing spot.... Especially great for larger groups and Canine friends. Huge shade trees and lots of sun create the perfect balance.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Nestled by a serene river, this campsite offers a mix of relaxation and outdoor activities, with a welcoming vibe from hosts Michelle and Erik. Many campers appreciate the privacy between sites despite being close to the town, and they enjoy kayaking, horseback riding, and wildlife spotting. The clean porta-potties and thoughtful touches like flower bouquets enhance the camping experience. However, some visitors noted issues with uneven ground and unexpected noise from nearby fireworks during holidays, which might be worth considering when planning a visit.

We had such an amazing time!!! Absolutely beautiful area, water access, porta potty’s were super clean! We got to go visit with horses and enjoy the swings and kayaks. Super close to town but also secluded enough to make you feel like you’re far out. The hosts were very kind and communicative Could not recommend this place more. We will be coming back year after year:)
