Tent Camping #1
Although , I had weird experiences with his son driving past our tent at night left his lights on in the truck and went in the RV we paid for to take showers so we didn't have completely the space we paid for ... We just didn't take showers . Oh and that ac...if don't know how to rig them it won't work because it leaks a lot and constantly.. but the land was beautiful and the site was clean... And the host offered me lighter fluid.

RV on the Amite River
The property was gorgeous! Damon was a great host and we had a wonderful night. For the price it was absolutely worth every penny!

"The Rest Area"
Don't let the reviews fool you.
I don't know if Damon read reviews and cleaned up his HipCamp? Or if it wasn't really that bad to begin with, but despite being cursed | blessed with OCD, I found Damon's HipCamp to be perfect for what we needed: a "Rest Area." We were only there for the night, so it's not like we needed and or used a lot, but I can't find any reason to give it less than five stars!
We were two women traveling across country and I felt perfectly comfortable at The Rest Area.
Here's the only thing I could think of as I pondered the reviews I'd read (and gave me pause for booking here). As you're driving to his property there are a lot of schwanky, schwanky homes. Like WOW kinds of homes on huge properties. If you're thinking that Damon's going to offer you a corner spot on his multi-million dollar estate, it's not that. You're clearly driving past new(ish??) construction where those with the means have purchased property (or a custom-home builder bought land and subdivided) and built their homes...continue on down the road and you'll find more modest homes, smaller land parcels.
This doesn't mean that what is offered at Damon's place is subpar, at all. It's just the contrast might influence some to rate it lower. That's the only thing I can figure out. Either that? Or Damon's been doing some mean housecleaning, so to speak! Either way...five stars from me!
Park your own RV or Van.

The space met our needs for a spot to spend the night. As soon as we arrived Damon brought us an extension cord to hook up to power and a hose for water. We don’t have air conditioning and weather had been rainy prior to our visit so it was pretty steamy with just our fans.
Park your own RV or Van.
We had a fine experience. It was peaceful and quiet. We had a fine place to park and enjoy the evening. We did not meet Damon that evening. It may not be for everyone as the property could use a little cleaning up but it did not affect our stay.

Tent Camping #1
Pondside Camping Great for Birders!
My friend and I had such a nice time at Damon’s campsite! Waking up right next to the pond was so peaceful, and as birders we were stoked to see a green heron across the pond and to wake up to the songs of prothonotary warblers and Carolina wrens! Maybe it’s because of the time of year, but the mosquitoes weren’t as issue at all! We also got to meet the sweetest white cat who we nicknamed Little Egret <3. The drive to Damon’s property was beautiful, passing through a town where we got Starbucks the next morning, past mega mansions (gorgeous to look at but we feel for everyone else who have lived there since before the sprawl), and through scenic country roads with to die for cottages and cabins! Definitely would stay there again on my next road trip!
