Girls Weekend

Thank you, John T, for sharing your beautiful land and stories with us! We had such a wonderful time exploring, and we really loved hearing about all the history connected to the land. Wyatt Earp was the best spot for star gazing and catching the full moon rise. The campsites are large and spaced well for privacy and it was the perfect place to let my GSP off leash safely. Goose was exhausted by the time we’d settle in for dinner every night, which was perfect. I will definitely be back in the future and can’t wait to share this little gem with my friends! Thanks again for everything!

Hip Camp is not so Hip anymore

John T. was very friendly and as a property owner handled a ridiculous situation the best he could. He only has a few spots on his 15acer lot and the only other campers there clearly don't understand how camping works. I was there alone with my dog. They saw me walking on the property with my dog and my truck was parked in my camp spot. Instead of attempting to speak to me like adults or contacting John directly to verify if another camper was scheduled for arrival they "became frightened" and "felt endangered" and called the cops to come to the property. Now, instead of leaving the property for their own safety to let the authorities and/or property owner investigate they drove their vehicle in/out/around my camp spot blasting their lights on my truck for about 15min waking me up. It was intrusive, and completely beyond ridiculous behavior. I sent John a message and he eventually came out the the site and spoke with me....relaying all of this information along with some other details, none of which added up and was incorrect. He apologized and came and spoke with me the next day also. This situation was out of John T's control. Otherwise, the property was a nice location. However, the camp sites need to be cleaned up and trees trimmed. There were no identifying camp site signs and no grates on the fire pits. It was definitely not as the pictures depict on the HipCamp site.

Amazing birthday trip!

We had the most amazing time at this quiet and peaceful property. We got the whole property to ourselves and had so much fun playing and exploring with our dogs. The sunrise and sunset were absolutely gorgeous and the campsite was beautiful and so clean. Everything about this place is perfect and I can’t wait to go back! Our hosts were responsive and kind. 10/10 recommend!!

Beautiful views!

We loved camping on John's land! The views were beautiful at sunrise and the site felt very private. We had a little hiccup finding the site but, John and Donna were extremely helpful by coming to our aid and helping personally direct us. They were extremely kind hosts! We would give this site a 10/10 and hope to come camp again soon! The site is also minutes from many springs and nature trails such as Silver Springs. Definitely worth the getaway!

Great spot, plenty of room. Nice to get away from everything which is getting harder to find in this state.
