LARGE RV QUEEN BED

Safe and private space for an last-minute overnighter on a roadtrip. The stars were incredible (no light pollution!) and host was communicative and sweet.

LARGE RV QUEEN BED

I had booked our Hipcamp reservation 2 weeks in advance was told to send a text when we were in the area, which I did. It took awhile for the host to greet us and it appeared that the RV was not ready or cleaned. It was not a big deal, since we were there to attend a music festival. The host was apologetic and finished cleaning the RV while we were out. I believe they had forgotten that we had a reservation There were still small sharp pieces of plastic or glass in the carpet, no top sheet on the bed, and light fixtures on the ceiling were filled with insects. Overall, the surroundings were quite beautiful and peaceful. The description on Hipcamp mentioned a swimming hole, but the host forgot to tell us where to find it. I would've really like to have seen it.

LARGE RV QUEEN BED

This site is a bit rustic, the bed is comfortable and the RV is clean. The kitchen and bathroom are not available to use in the RV. There is a fridge and propane stove nearby at the barn. There is a water station for hand washing or cooking and a bathroom with toilet only. It was very hot when we were visiting and it was nice to have a shady spot to hang out, the art is too hot during the day. But there is a few sitting areas in the shade of the barn. Tables, chairs, couches for lounging. There is also a cute bell tent that we used but it was in the hot sun. It would be nice to have a shade structure over the bell tent.

CANVAS TENT W/BED

Nina's property is the best camp for star gazing! We stayed in the open field to get the best views of the Perseid meteor shower. If you choose to stay in the open field as we did, it would be best to be in self contained vehicle or at least bring a Pop-Up for shade and water.

LARGE RV QUEEN BED

Best camp for star gazing!

We stayed in our fully self-contained toy hauler and had a great time. It was the best spot for watching the perseid meteor shower or just stargazing in general. Nina was a wonderful host with great communication. It was a perfect spot to call home base for our Highway 3 Adventures. Thank you Nina for a great time!
