Peach Peak

I loved this site! I backpack often and love it but bc of the pandemic I haven't left the city for maybe 6 or 7 months. I wanted to camp and be alone in nature without risking running into any other backpackers so I chose this site hoping there was a lot of wooded land to walk around in This site totally exceeded my expections. It was quiet and green and there was plenty of young woods to explore.

This property is absolutely beautiful, however it’s not a “true” campsite. We came as car campers because the listing specified the site was accessible by car as opposed to hiking in, which I think was misleading. There are essentially two places you can set up camp. The first landing - reached by trekking uphill on a winding road- had two other camping groups already set up there. And they were CLOSE to each other, with no room to park a car. We saw later they parked at the host’s property down near the house and must have walked up to their site. Past the first landing, you have the option to go up another winding hill until you reach the second landing, which is where the pictures on the website/app are taken from. This area is where we stayed and it was beautiful, huge, and incredibly private, but the road cut off a good while before you reach the hill in the photos. Since we were car camping, we couldn’t carry any of our stuff that far so we ending up just setting up camp in the road since it was the only flat land around. It was weird at first but once we realized no other campers were around, it was actually amazing to be so isolated. I would recommend this “site” to backpackers who have the ability to pack light and venture off into the property to set up anywhere, but car campers are very limited. There is no picnic table as the listing suggests, but we also did not have a fire ring which was a bummer. There was a water spigot available, but it was all the way down at the host’s house, so we had to drive back and forth through peoples campsites on the first landing to fill up- I’m sure they did not appreciate that. All around, the property is beautiful but it’s very much a primitive site for backpackers.

As described. Comfortable space with great scenery.

This is a very beautiful and private spot on gorgeous land. There are several short, mowed hikes nearby. We had a deer pop in on us and heard owls and coyotes at night which thrilled our toddler. Very quiet, completely private. There is no established fireplace or picnic table so plan for that. We brought wood and everything else we needed. Hidden Bluffs St Park about a half hour away is a wonderful place to hike and see the land. This is a special and rare piece of land to spend time on!

NOTE: The drive to the land may need 4x4 vehicle. Our Camry made it the 1st night but after a good rain it would not make it up. We parked at the house and hiked the 1/4 mile to the site. Our host Steven kindly offered to haul all our equipment down when we left.

Such a beautiful place, nice and clean and the sunset and sunrise is great! Highly recommend for anyone.

5 star host. Steven is very friendly and thoughtful. He even allowed us to borrow his saw for cutting up firewood.

4 star campsites. The sites themselves are nice, but they are not designated. They would seem to be first-come-first-served, however you are sort of forced to camp next to other people.

3 star listing. The listing makes it sound like there are three designated sites and that you are assigned a site when you make a reservation, but this is false. The listing also didn't make it clear that there is only one fire ring at one of the sites. Outlining these things and possibly designating the sites/reservations would help improve the overall experience.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
