This is a great little spot. This was our first ever Hip Camp stay and we loved it. Jenni greeted us on arrival and was so welcoming and nothing was a drama. Nice green grass, very quiet and relaxing. We arrived to a very clean and respected place so we did our best to leave it as we found it. We will definatly be back as it was a nice close getaway for us.
