Nice spot, tremendous host & value
This was our first Hip Camp but I was super impressed. Louise is a thoughtful human. Great directions and posts to find the place. Unexpected and appreciated extras - toilet, shower, fire pit, USB charging ports and even an outdoor kitchen sink.

Had a lovely couple of nights on Louise’s land. Great spot close to the Stockton sand dunes and other areas of interest, good facilities and Louise was lovely. Will definitely drop by again if I’m in the area!
