Close Enough AND Remote Enough

Big open meadows, clear driveable trails, and quiet secluded sites with fire rings make it a great spot, not to mention being minutes away from outdoors activities like fishing, hiking, etc. Silver Springs is 15ish minutes way.

Amazing camp site

Camping here was a great experience! The stars looks absolutely beautiful, the scenery was relaxing, no bugs but it was also very cold. It was very private and safe. There were stores nearby with everything we could need although if you need wood, make sure to buy it 40 minutes before arriving as they only had coals at the nearby dollar store. All in all, would 1000% recommend this for anyone looking to truly dry camp. John replied within minutes/1 hour and gave us all the details we needed for our trip. Great overall!

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.
