Mikes camp is such a gem. We came for a few days on mountain biking at Thunder and this was a perfect base camp for us. From camp to the lift in minutes! Mike was very responsive and text / chatted before, during and after our trip. Having the cover to keep the dew off in the mornings was great. Great little place!

Great spot, covered so you can enjoy the site without worrying about rain. Minutes from great fishing. Michael was very communicative and straightforward in directions.

We had a wonderful time tent camping at Mike’s basecamp. Great views of nearby mountains and stars on clear nights. Easy drive to nearby shopping and coffee. Mike knows so much about the local area and happy to make recommendations. The awning on site provided welcome shelter from frost and rain on our tent.

Perfect Remote getaway!
Great remote spot!!! Mike was very knowledgeable of the area and answered all of our questions immediately!!! Perfect place for a little getaway from it all. He allowed use of his fire pit and wood, gas stove, and had electric hook up for anything needed. There is a plenty of water given his outdoor well pump and has a bathroom set up for use (covered and private). We pitched our tent under his camper shed given frost (if tenting would recommend an air mattress), but we stayed warm and dry both nights. Beautiful hikes, eateries and breweries within 15-30 minutes! Thanks again, Mike!!!

This is a great spot -- off the beaten path, but not too far. It was very quiet except for some mooing from cows at a nearby field. The Adirondack chairs are very, very comfortable and the access to a flush toilet was tops. Michael was super helpful and had lots of recommendations for us. Would go back in a second!

Mike is super easy to reach and talk with. He gave a lot of helpful tips for the campsite and the area. The campsite is perfect, back on a quiet road near town with plenty of space.
