Bravo to Bruno
Bruno is very hospitable and kind and hands off. He will be as interactive, involved and fun as you want him to be, or you can have complete privacy and space. He knows his land and he enjoys people and community. Bravo to Bruno for having such a great place. We're already looking forward to going again.

3rd time camping at Bruno's spot. Always nice. Private spot, shower for rinsing off and Bruno's always good people. Will be returning.

Great spot and awesome host
Bruno was an amazing host! This was the first time a hipcamp host went out of their way to really accommodate us and our two dogs (that have unique personalities and like their space) - even though we were only there for one night. The site was clean and had a fire pit, table, box of games, and wood clippers. Everything you’d need for a great night camping. There were cows that came right up to the fence and hung out for a bit, so that was fun. We stayed New Years Eve and got to see some fireworks too. Overall, a great place to get out and spend some time in nature. Would recommend and look forward to coming back!

Gone Multiple Times
Stayed here dozens of times and never an issue. Host is always easy to reach and very communicative. Fire pits, picnic tables and flat ground under the stars.

If you’re looking to just go and relax for the weekend, it’s a great place. They provide games, fire pit, and a picnic table. We were fortunate enough to use the wood they already cut but it was just enough to get us through the night 6pm to midnight, so I’d recommend you bring your own wood. Not much to do at all but as I said, if you want to just relax and sit around the fire with no one to bother you, this is your place

Perfect for our Needs
Needed a 3 night tent camping spot and all the “usual” state parks, etc., were booked. This place turned out to be an excellent alternative for us (motorcycle camping). Bruno was a great hos! He met us upon arrival and showed us our best bets for dispersed camping. We camped at the very private and quiet spot, furthest from the chicken farm. Had a great time and the firewood was plentuful.
