Campsite feast
Angela’s place was a welcomed stop. Wonderful view in all directions, thoughtful toilet and shower structures she’s created from repurposed materials, and warm, helpful local knowledge. No problem parking our T@b trailer on site. And say YES to her dinner option! Her smoked chicken and sides were delicious. We took leftovers for a second night. Thanks Angela!

JT easy camping site
Perfect location for enjoying the JT Music Festival while having a camping'ish experience. Angela was friendly and my dog was in heaven roaming around freely during the day (not fenced).

the 'wind tunnel' camp experience
We showed up to a situation where we had to decide whether to set up camp in 20+ mile per hour winds. We ended up heading into the park and snagged a $15 first-come-first serve site that was just amazing...and....no wind! When pressed, Angela revealed that her property is in fact in a geologic 'wind tunnel' (her term) and that instead of disclosing this on the site she provides tires buried in the sand so that people can fasten-down their tents (hence the pictures of the buried tires on the site). If you like camping in the wind for $75/night, Angela has a great spot for you.....To her credit, however, she did refund us which was well-appreciated.

Private and Quiet Camping
We wanted to camp in a place that felt removed from town and other people. Angela's property delivered. Everything in previous reviews about how great Angela is, the convenient toilet and shower are right on. I was a little hesitant to stay on someone's property and was worried about privacy and potentially having neighbors nearby. So I will address that in my review. The closest neighbor was about half mile away and I could not even see the house from the property. I saw Angela once during our three-night stay, when she showed me around and gave me instructions on how to use the shower. So, the campsite was very private and felt far away from everyone else, which is what I wanted. (to be clear Angela is very pleasant and a really interesting person, and is also very responsive to questions, advice and needs via the Hipcamp app). Other than a once-in-a-while car on the road, it is quiet. The view of the night sky is excellent. And, town is about 10-15 minutes away.
