Private sites

Hi there. Here is a little rundown of everything we do at the mill…. So, as far as camping, there are two main options on either side of the river; the mill yard or primitive camping across the river. In the mill yard, we do festival style camping, meaning that there are no individual campsites per se, but rather a large grassy lawn near the mill and bathhouse with shared fire pits, picnic tables, charcoal grill, and sinks for water/dishes. We also have two platforms up in the woods that are good for a little more privacy and are completely shaded, but do require a small climb up the hill. The bathhouse has three restrooms and hot showers in each. Across the river, there are several more primitive sites that are generally very private and offer great sounds coming from the river and waterfall, but no facilities. Most sites are car accessible, and a 5 minute walk back over to the mill (or a 1 minute drive). Lastly, our newest camping spot on the primitive side is a river front beach right by the dam with space for a several medium sized tents and a private fire pit. The beach is hike-in only (2-3 minutes along a mostly flat trail). Our normal rate is $10 per person per night. Firewood is available for $10 per wheelbarrow load. We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, Paypal, and crypto. We are also fairly flexible on check in/check out times, but just let us know if you’ll be arriving at odd hours. Dogs are generally welcome as long as they are kept on leash. Here is a little rundown of tubing at the mill (May-October, weather permitting). We have two tubing options available. We have a short Fun Run that takes roughly 45 minutes, and cost $10 per person for as many rides as you’d like. The river bends sharply like a horseshoe in this section, so it makes everything accessible by foot traffic. It’s a 3 minute walk up the trail to the dam, put in and float 30-45 minutes (depending on water level), then a 5-10 minute walk back to the mill carrying your tube. There is also the longer Forks Run, which last 3-4 hours (~2.5 river miles), and costs $15. For this, we shuttle you up the river in a vehicle, and you float back to the top of the dam, then 3 minutes walking back to the mill. Most weekends, tubing starts at 11 am and the last Forks Shuttle is around 3 pm, with the Fun Run staying open till around 5. Also, with enough heads up, we can sometimes arrange for trips during the week. Our tubes are required for each person floating for insurance and liability reasons, but you are welcome to bring your own cooler tubes to carry drinks and snacks. Technically, alcohol is not permitted on the river, but what is in your cooler is your business. Either way, please bring ALL trash out with you! Water shoes are recommended, and we have life jackets on request. Most of our tubes come with bottoms and back rests, but a few are open to the water. Most weekends, reservations are not required, but it does help tremendously if we know when you want to come and how many in your group.

Falls Camp

We loved tent camping here. Very secluded with multiple spots to put up the tent. There is a river located down below that was a short walk from the campsite.

Dam Near Beach (Fittanto Cove)

Fantastic find

Fantastic find. I grabbed the private beach and was completely happy with the location. Had a chance to meet Matthew the host and chatted for a bit. Did some hiking, fishing, sitting, reading, and sleeping. The sound of the dam was southing and relaxing. Minus the downpour overnight, nothing but positive experience. The cat at the mill became my buddy, and the wood is a steal at $10 a wheelbarrow load. Long push to the beach, but exercise keeps you young. I went here to scout it out for my young son, and I can’t wait to get him up there! A true gem of a location.

Woods Camp

This spot was so perfect for our group of friends! We had multiple tents and a dog and the Mill was perfect. Matthew even stopped by and helped us get a projector up and running to watch football on our last night. We would definitely stay here again!

Falls Camp

Wonderful experience camping here at Jessup’s Mill. It was such a private and peaceful place! Falls camp at great spot for our kids and dogs to run around, play, and explore. There were shady spots and sunny spots to set up camp. The camp was very clean, well taken care of, and the grass in the field had been freshly mowed. It was convenient to have the trash can a recycling bin provided. We enjoyed having a 5 min walk to a bath house with hot showers if needed. The host was great, communicated well and gave excellent directions! We hope to be back!

Dam Near Beach (Fittanto Cove)

Loved it!

We had a great stay. Matthew was very communicative and helpful. We actually stayed at Falls Camp instead of down by the river (couldn’t change the site for the review), but both sites looked beautiful. Both have views of the river/dam, with the river site being much, much closer. Up at Falls Camp at the top of the hill, we could still hear water rushing over the dam through the trees (great white noise at night).

Dam Near Beach (Fittanto Cove)

Relaxing /waterfall sounds!

Solid campsites near the waterside. We ended up staying at the site above the dam, which was awesome. Will be coming back to stay when there’s some live music at Jessup mill.
