Wake up in the morning, walk down to the river and you'll see heron, coots, osprey, sandhill crane, red wing black birds, and so many more wildlife. The coyotes regularly sing throughout the night. I tend the property and you may see me around if I need to do light repair work. There is a care taker for the property who lives there and may be another guest as well.

Jennifer's campground offers a unique and cozy stay with a converted Winnebago that many guests found charming and comfortable. The location is convenient for exploring the nearby town and enjoying the local hot springs, though some visitors noted that the campsite area itself felt a bit crowded and less picturesque than expected. The host, Jennifer, and her caretaker, Shawn, received praise for being friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. However, some guests mentioned issues with the toilet placement and occasional sewage smell, which detracted from the comfort for a few.

I loved staying at Jennifer’s. Best mattress ever and the area is very quiet. Sean the caretaker was super helpful. I’ll return for sure!

Fun “glamping” experience

This stay was pretty good. I did expect there would be a bit more privacy on the lot, but the host was helpful. Beds are comfy, once you get the hang of all the amenities you have everything you need for probably 2 people max. I would be happier with this stay if there was more usable space on the lot, there’s a lot of ??? throughout the property, but basically we came to enjoy the town, the springs, and the river, which this stay provided.

Once we got over the initial shock of the scary looking site, the camper itself and the thoughtful and clever amenities and decorations that Jennifer provided were great! The photos of the trailer itself were just as on her post, but the beautiful landscape photos included in the post were not from the land where the trailer is located. When you first arrive, it has the feel of a junkyard. But I loved the trailer how she had decorated it, etc. I would stay again, but my husband would not. But keep in mind that we are 68 year olds, so our opinions may not be shared by younger people!

Dog friendly

All the amenities are there, but it’s a bit rustic. Very good as an off leash area for your four legged friends….no tub to soak in although it was listed on the description. It’s close to town and the on site host was very friendly and nice.
