Primitive Site 1-2 tents
Ian is an incredibly kind and welcoming host, and I’d recommend the place based on his hospitality alone.
The river had flooded recently before our arrival, so unfortunately we didn’t experience the usual amenities and there were more mosquitoes than we’d hoped. The neighbors dogs also barked on and off through the night, which made it harder to fall asleep.
On the upside, the night nature sounds of owls, crickets, and wind through the tall trees were lovely. My dog enjoyed the short trail walk and playing at the river beach.
I imagine that once the campsite is up and running again post-flood, it will be a nice setting to spend a night or two and have a fire.

Unhappy Camper. Very Unhappy.
I never met the host but his dad and a family friend were lovely and do help set up camp. There was no bathroom, no showers, no water, no trash bins, no picnic tables, and i could not get the electric to work. This was all advertised as available or I would have gone elsewhere. When inquiring about the toilet, I was brought a pop up shower tent with a huge tear across one side, hampering any privacy, and the toilet was a porta potty with wood chips.
Additionally, there had been a huge recent flood which reached levels about 4-5 feet above the high ground where the site is situated. If I had known I would have passed. The ground was still damp and the mosquitoes were insane. And just to make things even more miserable, the neighborhood dogs came out and tried repeatedly to engage my dog. No joke, I had to chase them off constantly with a bamboo pole that happened to be leaning conveniently against a tree. In total 5 dogs formed a pack and came after us all evening and morning. I did not feel safe!
Frankly, had I not been exhausted from traveling, I would have moved off to a hotel. I packed up and left at first light still fighting off the neighbors dogs!!!

About 30 min off highway, and not well marked. Beautiful little river, but people had left their trash behind. Just stayed one night. A curious neighbor knocked on the van after dark, "just to make sure we belonged there".

Beautiful Campsite!
Ian’s place is beautiful! I set up right on the river bank and had a great peaceful evening fishing and cooking on the fire on the beach. There was loud music coming from one of the houses by the road pretty late but that is probably just a one off thing.

Great camping Site in Nature
Ian was an awesome host and helped get us set up. It is a beautiful wooded spot along a river with lots of wildlife. There is lots to explore. The hooting owls and fireflies were very cool. It was easy to get in and out on the loop road. We will definitely stop there on future trips. Thanks Ian!!

The river was pretty , but the camp site was very close to the road and wasn’t as the picture showed. Also it seemed to be the path that everybody in the neighborhood used to get to the river. Didn’t feel very safe because the traffic and ended up sleeping in my car.
