(Dispersed site)
My first night there was so bad that I chose to leave before my second night camping there. I request a refund of that second night. Why? Despite being clear on where I was coming from, my driving ditections were very wrong . I tried to figure it out on my own and arrived so late that it was too dark to set up my tent in the assigned camp site. The person who waited for my arrival suggested I set up on a grassy field, close to bathrooms, and where we could both point our car lights toward the tent site. I asked if there was a chance that the field might be watered at night.
She had been told no watering, at night, there. At 12:30am the sprinklers came on and every thing in my tent became soaked. The main reason I chose this camp, originally, was because there were online pictures of a crystal clear swimming hole on the small river that passes thru the camp. Because I mentioned my interest in this swim hole my assigned camp was right next to it. (This was the camp too dark to see upon my arrival). After my wet night, I broke down my tent and other camp gear and drove to the original site. THE RIVER WATER WAS STAGNANT!! When I went to the office to report this and to ask for a refund, there was no one there (9:00am). I hung my wet sleeping bag and other wet item on a fence so they could dry. Waited a while and returned to the office..still no one there. I packed my things and left. This was my first experience with a Hipcamp. Not a good experience. Please refund one of my 2 nights.
