Very Private

18 ft travel trailer

This was my first Hipcamp 2 years ago and I went back because I liked the privacy to be able to hangout with my dogs. Close to wineries and great stargazing.

Great place to stay. Quiet, clean, and friendly hosts. The trails were a great adventure for the dogs and kid.

It was great. Easy to find. Great view of the stars. Plenty of good spots for tents around a fire pit. Portable restroom was clean. Would definitely come back.

Pretty spot to camp. We had electric and a clean porter potty. No water but we knew that ahead of time. The only complaint was that it was really muddy so the choice of camping spots was limited. There was a nice gazebo with chairs and a little pond my kids really enjoyed

Beautiful, but beware wet clay mud!

15 ft campervan · With kids

The area is beautiful, the field is relatively spacious, the portapotty and electricity are very nice to have available right there. There is good cell coverage. The host is very responsive. All that said, when we were there, multiple vehicles got stuck or had trouble (including an AWD and a 4x4) in the wet clay mud. There is a very limited gravel driveway, without much room to park on it, so everyone is more or less required to park on the field. So if it's been wet recently, I would recommend not trying to drive onto the field unless you have good tires and confidence in your ability to get out.

I understood the features of the site as no water and only a porta potty. That was fine as it was clearly advertised. The main issue that was a problem is most of the space was super muddy. I pulled in after dark and once barely off the short gravel driveway the grass area was actually super muddy soft and I got my minivan stuck. Perhaps it had been raining a lot the prior days, and maybe early spring is just too damp from winter snow thaws. But I barely pulled into the grass space advertised for multiple tent sites. There is one main spot for campers with gravel that seems safe from mud. If coming in during wet times be careful. Some other campers came with four wheel drive vehicles and managed okay, but I had to call a tow truck to get me out. So that was a bit of a bummer. So just be careful. Maybe it’s better at the end of a dry summer. But I have to include it in my review as it was a bothersome issue. The soil is clay like and even if not muddy to your shoe it will be muddy to a heavier car. Otherwise okay. Porta potty was well maintained and clean. I wish they’d add a water spigot but that was explained.
