This campsite offers a peaceful and secluded experience, ideal for those looking to escape into nature. The setting by the water is a highlight, providing a scenic backdrop and opportunities for activities like kayaking and fishing. However, some campers noted challenges with accessibility due to steep trails and muddy roads, which might not be suitable for families with young children or those with mobility concerns. While the host, Alex, is generally praised for being helpful, there were instances of miscommunication and issues such as unburnable firewood that could affect the overall experience.

Site 1 - Lakeside Camp
Lakeside #1 was a great spot! Alex provided plenty of firewood and a couple of nice kayaks. It was very private, you basically have the whole lake to yourself. Expect to hear lots of animals - chickens/roosters, cows, dogs, coyotes etc, but after about 10:30 it gets quiet and peaceful.
The only thing I could complain about is most of the flat spots were occupied by fallen trees, which I assume was from Helene, but not a big deal.
Definitely would recommend this spot

He had his sites set as available, let me book and pay $90, asked me to add other people, and then totally ghosted me after I drove FOUR HOURS and the address wasn’t real. Total waste of time and money, don’t trust him!!

Great place to camp with complimentary firewood. The campsite has a nice firepit in the middle of camp right on the lake. Saw two boats and one kayak, deer and an Egret. Catfishing at night was very good. This was our first Hip Camp

To start off, this location is nice when it comes to the water. And access to the water however the trek it takes to get to the site is horrendous. It’s incredibly steep and difficult to walk it. It wouldn’t have been so bad if we were warned beforehand. I have six kids 10 and under, with an infant. It was extremely hard to get everyone up and down from the car to the site. We will not be returning. Without proper knowledge of everything beforehand, we would’ve been able to properly prepare ourselves. The wood that was provided was rotted and wouldn’t light so that we could have a proper fire. Then we had no where to dump our trash once we packed out. The host wasn’t even anywhere near our location so that we could leave it or anything. Miscommunication is truly the main reason for the poor review. We will not be coming back.

Loved being secluded. Very peaceful. Great having water access for pups to play in too! The trail to hike in is no joke…steep incline. Pack light!!

We had a wonderful time at Lakeside 1! Lots of room for our friends and us. Very shaded for hot summer days. Alex provided us with kaykas and lots of firewood, we explored much of the area and loved it all! We are already planning our next trip back. As mentioned in the reviews, the dip right before the campsite would be very hard on a small car, our truck did fine with it!
