13 acres hosted by Bary B.
1 Vehicle/Tent site
The property has served as a "family get-away" and restorative spot for years and continues to be such since our acquisition a few years ago.
This campsite is quite secluded and peaceful. Please observe the rules that are intended to keep it pristine.
There are references to the steep driveway in the reviews. In winter of 2024 a modification was made to the driveway making it accessible to 2wd vehicles.
A locked cabin (work in progress) has a large covered porch overlooking the Coweeman River that is available for campers, complete with chairs and picnic table. The porch railing will not withstand leaning against or using as a footrest; thanks.
The camp has a pit toilet and we are asking guests to extend its life by only putting poop and pee in it. PLEASE BURN YOUR TOILET PAPER OR PLACE IT IN THE TRASH.
There is a fire ring and a tub of firewood available (and refillable) on site for $10. Payment is through Venmo when you return to the electronic world. If you bring your own wood keep maximum length to 20" to keep fire/ash within ring. Wood gathering is not permitted. Please respect the trees; no carving, supporting hammocks, nails. There is a picnic table and chairs at the fire ring.
Glass (bottles or glasses) are not permitted anywhere close to the riverbank as the risk of broken glass on bare feet is not worth the risk. Human flesh and fishhooks do not play well together, so no fishing is allowed.
Firearms and shooting are not allowed at our campsite, nor are fireworks.
The country road, which is very lightly travelled, follows the river and is a wonderful 'trail' for bikes and hikes. Weyerhaeuser Timber Company owns the the vast tree farm in this area and requires a permit to access their land but we hike there (accessed just across the road) frequently and never see anyone.
The river runs clean and pristine. Though not deep enough for swimming, it provides for a refreshing dip on a hot summer's day. It can be used for washing and bathing, and could be filtered/treated for drinking. A garden hydrant provides river water to the camping area, but use the 200 gallon source sparingly as I only fill it occasionally. There is no other water source on the lot. The next driveway upstream is also available to explore as it is a campsite under construction. There is a deeper swimming hole at this site that you are welcome to use. An inner tube will float you back down to the cabin spot.
Moving rocks in the river (building dams, structures) interferes with the nature processes of waterways and fish spawning/habitat and should be avoided.
Caution: The river rocks are very slick (think 'ice'). Use care when walking on wet rocks! Flotation vests are strongly recommended for kiddos.
Feel free to explore the property but please be aware the stinging nettles and other various pokey vegetation exist in the woods.
The setting is most private, the river lovely. This setting is wonderful for a quiet family getaway in the woods; it is not 'party' appropriate.
Non digging, well mannered dogs are welcome (maximum 2) as long as their responsible owners clean up after them.
Don't forget to bring drinking water, toilet paper (none is provided), fire starter (though our firewood is seasoned, dry and easy to ignite), headlamp, roasting sticks for them s'mores, water shoes and tromping shoes. The closest store for supplies is 11 miles (20ish minutes) down Rose Valley Road, a small country market with basics, and fuel.
Disregard Hipcamp's statement that the camp is close to Seaquest State Park and Paradise Point State Park........they are both about 45 minutes away.
The site fee is $60 with a two night minimum and covers up to 4 people. Additional guests are $10 per night, maximum 8 campers total.
Cell coverage is nonexistent/weak, depending on carrier. The de-timbered property across Rose Valley Rd can provide some elevation that might enable reception. Please plan accordingly and enjoy your time away from digital distractions.
