On leash. Wide open field with barbed-wire fencing between campspots and the hwy, supervised off-leash is fine but you want to keep an eye on those that wander...

Hard to Find
Tent
Well, unfortunately I was not able to find the listing, and unfortunately, Aaron was not available when I thought I had arrived at the spot - his text reply did not come back till an hour later. I was bummed because he did get very good reviews for communication. Since the sun was going down after a very long drive through the states, I didnt want to take a chance at the wrong spot (some Hipcampers are people of color and we cannot take chances with arriving at the wrong destination). FORTUNATELY, my instincts said to move along and find something else - and Junipers RV park was like a beacon for me. Perhaps Hipcamp can work on the sites that are being listed without addresses. This is very challenging for some of us. My suggestion to Aaron would be to make a sign that reads PhewPine Ranch. It would do wonders to help a weary traveler identify when they have arrived and to feel welcomed. Every experience is a chance to grow ~ and Im getting better at finding my spots and asking questions.

Beautiful open field for camping. The stars at night were incredible, and the milky way very visible. For nature lovers: it's a beautiful and mostly undisturbed sagebrush habitat with flowers and grasshoppers all around and cows just across the road. There is a gravel turn off but the rest of the road was a bit overgrown or bumpy in places. As recommended by another reviewer, best thing to do is pull off, park, and walk to see how far in you'll be willing to drive. The location itself was very accessible from the road and we had no trouble finding it.

Great location, quiet campsite

Very nice spot, quiet. This was just several miles from the highway and was so convenient as a safe place to camp with my dogs on our road trip. Aron was super helpful and responsive. There is national forest nearby which had great places to walk the dogs. A very good hipcamp experience and I will stay again if I am passing through.

Fall Visit to the Phewpine Ranch
The description is fairly spot on. I had a nice time staying out in this open valley of sage brush. It is near the Hart Mountain Petroglyphs, and while secluded quite close to the welcoming border town of Lakeview Oregon. The host was very responsive to texts about finding the location when I had trouble finding it, and I had cell service there. There was a river running through the valley, and cows wandering around the highway on the way there. The best thing about it was probably that I saw my first badger out in the wild, but if you're not so lucky there are many hawks searching the skies, and coyotes calling out at night.
