The property set up was amazing, chairs on a deck platform to watch the river and sunset, two hammocks, fire pit with rocking chairs, covered silo structure with table/chairs, 3 different options for tent placement, walking paths, grass area for provided games, and room to roam for children and dogs.

Relaxing weekend getaway.

This hipcamp was very unique with the cute rustic gazebo and patio furniture, and a nice fire pit. The view of the river was very beautiful and we loved watching the sunset up on the deck. We really enjoyed our time there. There is constant traffic noise from the interstate, but we read the reviews which prepared us to expect this which did not bother us. The only thing we were not aware of is the small trees that didn't offer much shade on the very hot day during our stay, but no big deal because we went into town that day until it cooled off. Overall we had a nice relaxing long weekend.

Wonderful site next to bike path and river. The only downside was we could not find the free firewood and it was within ear shot of a major road. Great sunset though and lots of chairs and a shaded structure.

Nice spot

We tent camped one night here and had a great time. There was plenty of space for a larger group, it felt private, there were walking paths, the deck overlooking the river was nice, the fire pit was very useful, and the silo gazebo was a unique touch. We did not end up meeting or contacting the owner which is totally fine with us introverts but we appreciated the land and the spot. There was also a well kept outhouse.

Beautiful river spot

This is a beautiful spot right on the river and bike trail. It was so nice to not have to bring chairs, and the fire pit was lovely. What a bonus to use kayaks and hammocks?! The only bummer was the road noise from the freeway. Thanks for a fun weekend!

Definitely recommend!

We tent camped with a small group and loved how spacious yet cozy this land is! Beautiful lookout over the water and kayaks ready to use. We enjoyed walking the trails and noticing all of the fun and unique birdhouses. Loved the tin roof cover as we got some rain during our stay. We appreciated being provided with hand sanitizer, surface cleaning spray, lighters, firewood, and kerosene for the tiki torches amongst other useful things. They also had a variety of yard games in the shed and hammocks to relax in.
