We really enjoyed our time in Whispering Pines. A very relaxing and beautiful place. A rabbit even came and gave us a visit after a light rain (it liked to eat the growth under the pines). We also saw a cute toad on the forest path. Overall a very peaceful place.

Weekend Trip to My Spot-Private Forest Campsite

We were looking for a private, peaceful, wooded campsite, and boy did this hipcamp deliver! Beth & Brian’s campsite land is tucked away in the woods of Meig’s county, nestled across from their farm. It was wildly hot & humid the July 4th weekend we went (felt like 105 midday), but in the shaded woods where we camped, it was at least 15-20 degrees cooler. Highly recommend taking a swim/float in their pond, and stargazing on the open field just at the end of one of the wooded trails. Also encourage folks to take advantage of the ATV haul of your gear to & from the site, and the jackery for the camplights. Their firewood is well seasoned & massive, and there’s plenty of tinder to be found in the woods around camp. Composite toilet is a huge plus, but otherwise it’s primitive camping at its loveliest. Their hosts are gracious. The land is secluded and cozy. This spot is a gem of a site.

Weekend Trip to Altenbrauch Farm

We had a wonderful time here. It was spacious and clean and peaceful. The directions from Google were accurate. Limited cell service on T-Mobile. The field was mowed and well cared for. Bugs were moderate at night but we didn't notice any major issues with biting flies or mosquitoes. It was mostly just moths and gnats and the kinds that buzz around your head. We were a little surprised/disappointed that there was not a dumpster or other waste disposal option available on site. We had to travel a fairly long distance with garbage bags on the car to "pack it out". Our particular campsite had lots of broken glass and aluminum cans in the fire pit that we had to cleanup and haul out.

Weekend Trip to Myhio Haven Horse Farm

My family and I like rustic camping, we usually go backpacking, but this was going to be a quick camping trip for the weekend. So when looking for spots to camp, we found this jackpot! Private, creekside and great hosts. Our 4 kids played ALL day in the swimming hole- catching craw dad's, sliding on the natural rock slides, skipping rocks. The water quality was good, felt refreshing and was a honey hole for swimming. The greeting party of horses was the perfect way to begin and end our trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land.

Pumpkin Ridge is a beautiful, secluded space for tent camping! It’s surrounded by thick woods, so there is minimal to no road noise. I was just as content to chill out at the campsite as I was to hike all the nearby trails (Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, Rock House, and more). I would highly recommend staying on Denise’s land!

The views are beautiful and it’s a cozy little meadow. It’s secluded and quiet and easy to get to. I loved that the dogs could be off leash. And the bathroom was really cute!! There are no trees so definitely have cover to keep you out of the sun. The ticks were pretty bad so bring protection and check the pups often.
