Really nice spot!

This is a beautiful, private spot! Tons of trees, a really nice fire pit and it’s secluded. We went with a group of friends, our daughter and two dogs and had a great time!

Fun weekend

Had a great weekend tarp camping at Daniel’s property, despite getting a lot of rain. Loved the fire pit area and the cooking grate. Site is private, a little bit of a hike, but not bad. Water available from a pump or a spring. Overall, a nice setup not far from Columbus. Great communication.

Beautiful Wooded Area

Absolutely beautiful space! The wooded area is gigantic and really amazing. The tree cover keeps it cool even on hot days, too. My trip was a camp out with my ten-year-old and some of his friends and they loved it! You do have to set up camp on a little bit of an incline, but it was no problem for us. Also, don’t overpack because it’s a couple hundred yards from the parking to the campsite (this is more of a positive than a negative since the area is so nice and secluded—just something to keep in mind). Also, the hosts were very kind, accommodating and responsive.

A nice quiet spot in the woods! We heard owls and a fox. Saw several deer and enjoyed perfect weather at this hipcamp.

My wife and I loved tent camping here. With a few bonus amenities (eggs for purchase, cooking grate, some lighting, water, etc.), this is a great option while still being remote! With there only being one site in the listing you have the space to yourself. Easy to get to and a welcoming host! Looking forward to returning in the future!

Hitched a tent for a night here, and will definitely be doing so again. Daniel was welcoming and helpful and the campsite was super cute. Especially loved all the lights and the hand painted signs.
