A nice spot on the river, great host, fun to take the kayaks out. Felt like camping on someone’s lawn, because it was; wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for privacy or seclusion, expect people to be home looking right over your campsite.

Overall this was a nice place. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming, sunset was pretty, and there was a lot of space. We were also the only campers, so it felt private. We felt the price was high, but paid it because it was a holiday weekend and sites were scarce. When we arrived we saw that the other site has a full "glamping" setup, which looked really nice and would probably have been worth the higher price, but we couldn't tell from the Hipcamp posting that was an option. Our site was spacious but the grass and weeds were very tall and there were a lot of ticks (which is normal this time of year, but watch out). There was a robins nest with new chicks right by our firepit which was fun for the kids. The hosts kindly let us use the other firepit so we wouldn't disturb the chicks. Also, the automated directions from Hipcamp send you to the wrong place, so check with the host for proper directions. The only downside for us was that the portable toilets were not on site (host informed us it had broken and couldn't get delivered until after the holiday). They had replaced with a camping toilet/bucket setup, which was fine. Again, overall a nice stay, just didn't feel worth what we paid.

Not private but cool area.
Overall this space is a lot of fun to get away from the busy city. It is a backyard campsite though, I wish that was more clear to us. The Kayaks provided are rather small but hey, kayaks provided. The area on the river is teeming with wildlife and its a lot of fun to just sit on the bank and watch life move around you. The property seemed vacant while we were there and nobody bothered us but you're definitely in a neighborhood surrounded by people on all sides. It is a bit pricey for what it is imo but still a fun spot nonetheless.

Little magical spot
Melanie is a great host. Her place is magical and perfect to reconnect and relax. Love to kayak along the river and hearing all the animals at night. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful Riverside Camp
Absolutely beautiful campsite right on the river, we had a lovely 2 night stay! The area was a little smaller than I expected, but it was perfectly sized for our 4 person tent. Chairs, kayaks, big garbage can and firewood provided - but be sure to BYO table. No bathroom access, although listing says a camp toilet is available, but it wasnt an issue for us. Lots of great kayaking, bird watching, and listening to frogs and crickets sing you to sleep. Highly recommended for a getaway if tou want easy river access!
