What a great first experience with Hipcamp! We were lucky to be the only ones camping in the area this weekend. Great access to a lovely river and there was even a kayak available for us to use. The provided toilet is portable so just make sure you bring some bags and it’s very convenient. We brought our two dogs and they enjoyed the river during the day and the grass to lay in during the evening. Mike is a wonderful host and we will definitely be back soon.

Sleeping next to the creek with the sound of running water was incredibly soothing. The provided kayak was a great bonus for exploring the creek. Campers seeking a raw nature experience will love this spot. Mike was an excellent host.

Camping with Kids
Overall experience and communication with the host was excellent. However: couple things: No potable water access, even though is listed on the site. Bring your own water. In addition, the bathroom is mainly a backpacking toilet in the open. No privacy at all. Bring wipes, or extra water to rinse after doing bathroom business. If you bring your dogs, I highly recommend to ask the owner to close the gate at the entrance at night time. We brought two of our doggies and one of them passed away when being hit by a car early morning on a Saturday. Our dog explored too far, while we were sleeping. No one’s fault, I want to prevent and protect a future doggy at this site when you go camping. My nieces enjoyed the creek, great space for kiddos. Make sure to ask host to clean the site before you arrived. We found trash all over. The place was easy to find. The property has two dogs on site, they are at the house fenced in, but if you have doggies, they might be interested in going to check them out and they are close to the gate which can be dangerous, if you dog gets out on the road.

The creek was perfect for the hot weather and for the kids to play safely. Great getaway in the summer.

Creek campin’
It was awesome getting to camp right next to a swimming hole. Quiet and secluded, we were able to really relax. Mike is kind and accommodating. We will be back!

Great swimming, listing incorrect
Mike was super nice! Very responsive and friendly when we arrived. Also, the water was great, even for kiddos because it had shallow spots as well as swimming areas. This campsite has great cell service and is easy to get to from the road (minimal amount of off-roading required). There were a few things in the listing that were not true so be aware when you come. For example, the listing said bins, potable water and toilets. I put my trash in a bin on site on our way out, assuming this was the bin being referred to and turns out the expectation is pack in/out so definitely plan accordingly. Also I asked Mike beforehand if there was potable water and he let me know there wasn’t so just make sure you don’t follow the listing exactly (and just ask Mike). Also, this location won’t feel very private since it’s near the road and the house. Wasn’t a problem for us but be aware it’s not very isolated. Mike indicated we could camp anywhere so you may be able to find a more private spot than we did. Finally, there was some stuff around the campsite so it wasn’t the most pristine experience. These are all minor things though, overall we had a great time!
