Site 4 - In-Ko-Pah Spirit Retreat
Greg's camp is a gem as other reviewers have said. Easy to find but no traffic noise at the camp. Site #4 is actually very large with several tent sites and fire pits. You can have a group of people with 3 or more tents and plenty of room to spread out. Water tank is on site and you can park in several spots there. Fire pits are well built with rocky hills all around. Greg was hospitable and helpful. He showed us the trails going up to #2 and #3 sites on top of a hill. Great get away. Would consider staying at his cabin next time.

Windy but fun!
Greg was a great host and made us feel very welcome. He gave us fair warning that it would be windy that day and he wasn't kidding! It was so windy at site #4 that we ended up having to pitch our smaller tent as our larger one wasn't very aerodynamic. But the view was lovely and the 2nd night wasn't nearly as windy. We would definitely stay again and be more prepared for the weather!

Site 3 - In-Ko-Pah Spirit Retreat
First Hipcamp Experience, 10/10!!
In Ko Pah Spirit was absolutely stunning- my group stayed in site #3 - Earth Shrine. Beautiful works of art, quartz cairns, memorials, and a near 360° view surrounded this site. We came here for stargazing, and boy did we get it. The sky was crystal clear and the stars were so bright, we were lucky enough to be camping for a mostly moonless sky. The weather was immaculate, and the hike up to Earth Shrine was gorgeous. The stay itself at was so pleasant - we had very little wind and near perfect temperatures during the day. Night got cold, but as long as you're prepared to layer, it was quite comfortable. It was a pleasure meeting Greg and his pup, Bosco. Greg has such a good vibe and immediately made us feel welcomed and at home. We loved getting to know him and his story, as well as the amazing facts and lore he shared about this site. It's obvious from the moment you meet him that Greg cares so deeply for this place, and you'll just can't help but feel the same way too. We will definitely be coming back - thank you again, Greg! 😄

I had a wonderful stay at casa agave! The cabin is charming and thoughtfully stocked with anything you might need and the nature all around is incredibly beautiful. Greg - the host was very helpful and kind and the dog, cats and chickens were delightful to have around! Thank you !
