High & Dry -- Campsite #1
Nice place, easy to find. For quietness I give it a 4 out of 5. The toilet is a porta potty which seemed clean. Very close to a lot of great sites like Johnston shut-ins, the Castor and Black rivers, and dozens of hiking spots.
High & Dry -- Campsite #1
friendly
the hosts very friendly....
place nice, clean...
i stayed at campsite 1... i put my tent by the stream bc i didnt want to have it on the gravel.. but unfortunately, lots of ticks since of course i was in the trees/brush ... but my bites are severe... so make sure to i guess... avoid doing that.
great that they love dogs... they had 2 friendly dogs who greeted my dog...
i guess the ticks were my fault not the campsite... but im going to urgent care today bc i was covered 😧 with bites. dog was fine bc he's on montly pills... i wish they would make pills like that for humans
the stream was so clean and nice... but then it mysteriously disappeared... i'm not familiar with the ozarks... do the small streams just get sucked into their unseen sources like that??? wow. that was on the second to last day- it didnt dry up... it was several feet deep in places! this was more of a note than a review... as far as that...
well... leaving notes for the hosts and future campers... it was very near to beautiful hiking places.... as they do name this, the base camp.
🌅🌲also, the host told me of plentiful water pumps that i was welcome to use around the camp...
i'm not used to the general area... someone must have more tick iq than myself.... 😥 the tiny ones got me... just... all over . maybe 70 in my skin the bigger ones, i was able to remove while camping

Nice secluded spot. Host was responsive before we arrived to ensure the site was appropriate. The site is close to good hiking, etc.

Peaceful and cozy campsight.
Greeted by deer. Private location with lots of peace and quiet. Water, porta-potty, picnic table, fire pit, trashcan, hook to hang food. Very clean and well maintained.
Hosts provide accurate and good instructions. Proximity to charming Ironton, MO.

Great place to sit and relax
Although the area is known for trails, I went to sit and relax, try out some camping equipment, and catch up on pleasure reading. This site was prefect. The host has done a lot of work to ensure a clean and safe site, and it was very peaceful. The whippoorwills were in true form, the frogs in the pond sang each evening, and there is plenty of other small wildlife. I'll be back!
