Inclusion policyWe have a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination at Hipcamp. We are committed to helping our Host and Hipcamper communities be inclusive.
The site was exactly as described. Just outside of town with enough space to be surrounded by nature. Each campsite has a bit of space around it so you don't feel squeezed in. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating. If you are looking for camping options near Carbondale/SIU this is an excellent option.
