This was my first hip camp experience and didn't know what to expect. It was really a great experience; it was more private and peaceful than I expected. I didn't know if I'd have to share a table and toilet with other campers, but each site had its own. The hosts were very helpful and friendly, and I enjoyed meeting the goats, llama and dog. Frank the Cat was otherwise engaged in busy farm work when I arrived. The site is near the Buxton trailhead for the Banks to Vernonia trail and I rode my bike a few miles on that. When I returned to camp, I spent a couple of hours dozing and day dreaming in the hammock which was really delightful. I heard owls throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the city. One thing to keep in mind is the road getting to the campsite is really bumpy, so if you have a car that sits low to the ground, you might have a tough time. My minivan made it OK, however.
