This is our third time staying at hip camp at devils backbone and we absolutely LOVE it! The showers and toilets at the bathhouse are an easy walk away and are well maintained. The sites are spacious and give you plenty of options in where to place your tent. Picnic table and fire ring are provided.
Five stars. Will be back over and over again.

Spacious outdoor site
We loved camping here! Spot 101. Bigger than the campsites at Devils Backbone Campground. These sites offered a big fire pit. Site 1 had many trees and lots of shade! Good distance between next site. Very easy to find, there's a labeled driveway! Clean. Big fire pit with a swiveling grill grate on site. The ground was easy to stake a tent into. Plenty of rooms for a nice set up. Room for multiple tents and cars if needed. Responsive hosts. Bath house was not far away. Open 24 hours and pretty clean! Awesome exploring the brewery. Many other options around Nelson County for people to do. Devils Backbone included a small trail map. There's other various trails nearby.
One downside was a house nearby had a very bright porch light and there were loud birds in the morning. Otherwise great!
Would definitely come here again and recommend to others.

my partner and me were looking for a spot to stay at for two days. It was so beautiful durning the day, very private since it’s off season (probably won’t be private afterwards cause the sites are very close together) and the bath house was such a treat especially after being on the road for so long. However, I do wish they had lights around the campgrounds at night or have someone direct us to our site cause we were very stressed out looking for it. Overall wasn’t so bad, we didn’t have much interaction with whoever owns it and we did get to see such a stunning sky. Also keep in mind of the wild life.

Nice Sites! A Few Criticisms
DBB is a beautiful campsite. My group of 21 reserved sites 101, 102 and 103 which are all adjacent to each other. There is ample tree coverage at these spots, so its perfect for camping in the summer to avoid direct sunlight. During our stay, we camped through a sizeable rainstorm, but stayed dry by setting up a series of tarp A frames from the trees to provide dry communal areas. The group sites sit away from the regular sites and RVs which is a nice touch for privacy. The sites are also a brief 5 minute walk to the main brewery and the nicely appointed bath house.
A few criticisms. There was miscommunication with the parking situation. Hipcamp states that 2 cars are allowed per site, but on the official DBB camping webpage, it states 3. I reached out directly to DBB and the rep said 4 cars per site were allowed. After our first night, we had a staff member stop by and tell us that we had way to many cars on site, and it should only be 3. So, everyone needs to get on the same page with this piece.
The second criticism is the firewood. DBB states you cannot bring in your own wood and you can only use wood purchased from the campsite or scavenged on the property. At $8 a bundle, you would expect this wood to be premium stuff, however we were less than impressed. All 5 bundles of wood purchased had dampness at its core, meaning it was not kiln dried and cut somewhat recently. At the DBB basecamp, they had firepits burning the good stuff, so it's not like they can't provide it

Great spot that offers beautiful views, a lot of space, privacy, and a short walk to the bathhouse and the main brewery. Also, great reception with Verizon. Definitely coming back.

Family camping trip off season
Devils Backbone camp was perfect for our family getaway. We were looking for peace and quiet, not a crowd and that’s just what we got (we were almost the only people there). Bath house was convenient and clean and firewood was available for purchase on site, in addition to what we picked up off the ground. It was March, so I would expect a much different atmosphere in the summer, but we may try that out too. DB brewery was still open so we were able to have dinner there one night.
