We spent 3 nights. Paul and his wife were fantastic hosts. They were very personable with a wealth of knowledge of the area. The campsites were immaculate as was the bathroom/shower. We felt very secure there and the stars were absolutely phenomenal. The observation deck with the hammocks were way cool. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Scott and Remmy

This is hands down my favorite desert camp site. It was secluded, but still an easy walk to the bathroom. Paul was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Loved it
What a beautiful spot to set up camp with the most helpful and friendly host. We had a great night playing cornhole, making s’mores, and watching the stars from the on-site hammocks. We will be coming back!

My husband and I car camped and then hiked the Wild Cherry Creek trail, only a ~20 minute drive away from the campsite. Paul's place was easy to find, had amazing views, and felt like its own little slice of the valley - but with amenities to boot 😊 Highly recommend!!

Fantastic Camping
Paul and his wife have an incredible property. Paul met us on arrival and guided us to our site with a stack of firewood ready to go. He was super friendly and gave us a lot of information on the area. The camp sites are spacious and the bathroom and shower are an added bonus. The star gazing is incredible. Highly recommended staying here.
