Hilleetla
Our hosts took extra time to ensure we got the perfect camping spot, and it really paid off! We caught fish in both ponds and enjoyed serenades from the local amphibious choir. The hosts are very knowledgeable about ecologically sensitive areas and marked multiple points of interest that helped guide our exploration. Thanks to these two great land stewards! Shout-out to Pluto, our camping companion.

We had an amazing time at Hilleetla! Alissa and David are wonderful hosts with a beautiful property, and their friendly dogs love joining you on little adventures.
The location is peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to disconnect and take in the sounds of nature. At night, the stargazing is incredible—you can see countless stars on a clear evening. We stayed for two nights, and the weather was perfect with very few mosquitoes.
The property itself offers diverse terrain and rich biodiversity, making it a great spot for exploring. The amenities were well thought out, including a composting toilet, shower, and convenient water spigots throughout the site.
Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We’d definitely recommend it!

I normally stay in the NF except during hunting season. This was a last minute trip. The property is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. I was the only one staying. The owner Alissa was quick to contact me with information and we were able to meet when I arrived. I booked for two nights but only stayed one and it was awesome. I stayed near the pond located in the back of the property. Two of her dogs hung out with me until I went to bed then came back and had coffee with me the next morning, lol. Would definitely recommend staying.

Title: A Perfect Getaway at Hilleetla!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our recent camping stay at Hilleetla was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality from our hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, always available to offer tips and share stories about the beautiful farm and its surroundings.
The location itself is breathtaking, surrounded by stunning landscapes that provided us with a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We spent our days exploring scenic trails, enjoying the tranquility of nature, and soaking in the picturesque views. The starry nights were an absolute highlight, offering a perfect backdrop for cozy campfire gathering.

My group loved it here at Hilleetla. We loved exploring the land and catching bass out in the pond. Alissa sent detailed maps of the property before arrival which was so useful! They have 4 dogs. 3 that made a one time appearance and 1 that probably stayed with us 80% of the time 😂 Pluto is a big puppy who wants to play but eventually calms down. When it was night time we messaged them to take him away and they did.
We didn’t notice much bugs which was nice. It is dark on the land and the sky is beautiful with no light poles around to stop the bright stars from shining. My group even got to see the satellite starlink train pass by which was pretty cool. We definitely plan on coming again and have been telling people about this beautiful land
