    RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 35 ft
    Site #2 is private and an extremely spacious camping area that oversees the river. Many of our campers access the river directly next to the site despite a small slope; however, there is a public access point to the river a short 2 min walk away. This site offers excellent viewing of the stars. Site #2 will have a large stack of wood that works off of an honor system, picnic table, trash can, and a versatile firepit w/ grill. Come enjoy a private camping experience with the wonderful sounds of the river, wildlife, and excellent field views and star gazing.

    Like the locations name says, it’s Paradise. This camp was just perfect. Very peaceful and you can listen to the river passing by. We spent the entire day by the river enjoying its clear waters and serenity. We will definitely be returning here. Graham was a wonderful host.

    Highly recommend this river retreat

    Site #4
    We absolutely loved our time at Graham’s Hipcamp. We stayed in spot #4 and it was a perfect fit for us- family of 5+1 pup. We have a 20ft off road/off grid trailer and it fit perfectly. The kids loved playing in the river. Our only regret is not staying another night! One thing to note is this site is quite dusty so just be sure to have a mat or something for your shoes before you go in your tent or camper. We highly recommend Graham’s property. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Thanks so much, Graham!

    Site #4
    We had the best time at site #4! The water is crystal clear and refreshing, and the easy access made it that much better. You can see the other campers, but the sites are spaced far enough apart that we never heard them. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!
