The campsite offers a mixed experience with some reviewers appreciating the beautiful views, private setting, and thoughtful amenities like a fire pit and hammock. However, others have pointed out drawbacks such as road noise and proximity to residential areas which detract from the feeling of seclusion. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions, but the hustle and bustle of nearby roads and occasional animal disturbances like roosters and dogs can affect the tranquility. Overall, while many find it a lovely spot with great views, the noise and lack of complete privacy are notable considerations.

Felt like camping in a driveway

4 ft pop-up camper · With pets

Overall we were not very happy with our stay. The photos and descriptions make the site sound a lot more rural and private than it is. You are effectively camping in a driveway that has been converted into a camp spot. There are houses on both sides of the area and a commercial parking area behind the campsite with multiple other neighbors living back there as well. There are a few tarps strung up between the trees to try and block the site of the houses from where you sit by the firepit. We even had someone's random two dogs come up to us when we were walking our dog which was a bit worrying, thankfully nothing happened but the fact that unknown off leash dogs can come up your animals can be a problem. On top of this the site is very close to the road you pull off from, and is a very busy road. Constant cars passing throughout the day and the night led to a rough sleep for everyone when a semi truck going 70 down the road 50 feet from where you are sleeping would wake you up. On top of this there is a chicken coop not far behind the camp site, and getting woken up bright and early by the rooster was also unpleasant. Additionally the dock shown is down the road from the site. If you plan to fish make sure not to go around a full moon. The nice thing about the site was that it was clean, provided seating by the fire pit, and even a decent stock of wood to burn. Overall we would not return, nor recommend it. We had booked 2 nights and left only after 1 night.

This spot was magical with the magnolia trees and little nooks the owners placed around to have a place to read or just relax.

The Hipcamp was in an awesome location for exploring the area with beautiful views of the bay. The parking area was mostly private with a bunch of foliage and only view of the house was further down the driveway. Road noise did make a impact early on in the night but after midnight it quieted down.

Not our typical camping scenario as far as we prefer no neighbors but I have to say, the views were great and Robert was gracious enough to provide fire wood. The place was super clean and all is all, Awesome! (PS, the sun set was spectacular!)

The property was truly beautiful and shaded with so many magnolia trees and pines. It was private yet conveniently located off of the highway and between both Apalachicola and Carrabelle. We loved our stay and would stay here again.
