Secluded Riverside Campsite
We tent camped at this site and it was awesome! Secluded and private, this site was tucked away near the river. The site could be accessed easily with an suv or truck. I drove my Tahoe out there with no problems in the dark since we got there late our first night. For a riverside site the mosquitoes weren’t bad, and plenty of shade. Beautiful view. Loads of cute honking geese splashing and flying around. The spot was huge and we had plenty of room to spread out. This site was a perfect retreat for my best friend and I to disappear into the woods for the weekend. We had a blast and look forward to booking this site again! Thank you Shane for having us!

Beautiful
Shane waa attentive and laid out instructions clearly for self check in on arrival. Plenty of wood provided to keep warm. We knew going in of the train but for our particular 4 day stay, the number of passes and time of day was unfortunate. Tough to make up sleep with multiple trains coming through between 1230-130am and 3:30 and 430am. Site itself and view was easily top 3 of any place we've stayed over our 5 years of using Hipcamp. Mosquitos need to be recond with as you would expect being on the water. Breeze off river handled them well for us onsite but spray is needed for any walks. All in all an amazingly beautiful site but not likely to return due to interrupted sleep that caught up to us after 3 nights.
The review can there.
But if interested I can elaborate more on the trains. There are basically 2 types. One we called the Amazon train cause it pulled double decker Amazon truck trailers, JBHunt, swift, and various other outfitters. That train seemed well maintained smooth and quieter (low rumble). Not annissue at all.
The 2nd type of train was the real problem. It pulled quary rocks and chipstone gravel. It was much heavier and longer. Wheels squeeled obnoxiuosly& heavy rumble was very loud and shook the ground. When it passed, it owned the area. Couldnt hear anything else. Couldnt even shout over it to continue a conversation. No way anyone can sleep through those passes. For our stay, there were 4 to 5 passes of those heavy trains a day including overnight.

Great Site.
We just returned from a 4 night camping trip on Shane’s land and it was almost a 5 star site…the only deduction from the site is the railroad that sits very close to the site.. Though warned in the description, I would be remiss if I did not mention it here. It can be LOUD and frequent.
Plenty of amazing views and space. We had 3 trucks and 2 tents and still had plenty of room to space out and relax. It was a great location to explore.
Shane was a great host and all our needs were met. The area was well maintained and we had plenty of wood for our stay.
I would return…with ear plugs to sleep…but I would for sure return!

Can’t wait to return!
We loved this campsite and my friends and I are already talking about returning when it warms up. It’s in an excellent location in relation to grocery stores in town but remote enough that it feels entirely private. The riverside aspect is so scenic too. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time! The care and attention to detail Shane took in setting up the site was impressive to say the least. Plenty of firewood, and a hatchet to split kindling. There was even a lantern and room spray in the private (and very clean) port-a-potty! The site is very large and mulched, and the soil wasn’t at all rocky which made setup a breeze. The view of the river, especially at sunset, was beautiful.
Other reviewers have cited traffic noise and the nearby freight train tracks as nuisances, but we found the traffic noise quite tolerable, and a small price to pay. The freight trains felt more like a really cool feature.
As far as the access road, their directions were very thorough and easy to follow. AWD is definitely required, but Shane has carefully marked any rocks or deep mud that needs to be avoided. If you’re not driving it, I’d suggest packing fairly light as it’s a bit of a walk from the parking area and currently pretty muddy.
All in all, we can’t wait to go back!
