Secluded Forest Retreat
Rustic and charming.
I decided to take a solo trip with my dogs on a whim and found Alex’s place. I am lucky I did. My 1 1/2 year old dog learned how to swim and my 10 year old lady dog even joined her for a few laps. The younger one swam behind me in the boat most of the time and when she was done, they chased each other around the pond. They must’ve done 20 laps!
There was a whole pile of firewood available so I lit a campfire to work on cooking dinner. I enjoyed trying to use the old cook stove in the outdoor kitchen area although that’s a thing that needs practice. I ended up finishing cooking it over the campfire. A swell rustic cooking experience.
A tremendous thunderstorm woke me up around 11pm so naturally I went and watched it on the front porch. When most of the thundering was done I got to fall back asleep to the rain on the tin roof. I’m a fan of storms.
In the morning I caught 3 bluegill rather quickly who each gave me 3 wishes for returning them to the pond. I haven’t caught bluegill since I was a little child with my step dad so it was nice to experience that memory.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to have a little get away. Alex is probably the most responsive host I’ve experienced on hipcamp. His messages also have a welcoming warmth to them. I hope to visit again in the future and maybe I’ll even let my husband come too. Thanks Alex!!!!

We had a wonderful time at this "Oasis in the forest"! We used the cabin during our stay due to high winds. It was the perfect size and we loved hanging out on the porch. The site is very very private. We were able to relax and not worry about the dogs bothering anyone. We will definitely be back!

Big Pine Peninsula
Very pretty in scenery, not quiet
The campsite was very pretty, and the lake was gorgeous and very nice to boat on. There’s some nearby creeks near the trail with mini waterfalls and I thought it was gorgeous! Although, we ended up leaving after the first night because it was incredibly hard to sleep. We were a lot closer to a neighborhood than we thought, and many of those houses had dogs, that would bark all day and all throughout the night, even around 3-5 AM. There was also a lot of sports cars and Harley’s drag racing and going back and forth showing off how cool their vehicles sound. This happened to be around 12am-3am. Me and my fiance ended up falling asleep around 6:30 and waking up an hour later. We left around 9am that morning. So if you want quiet camping, this is certainly not the place to go.

My 10 and 7 year old sons and I had a blast. Nice little pond, great sites. Lots of brim. Really fun for a quick little nearby adventure. Alex was communicative and friendly. Fun time! Will return.

Family time at the hut!
Thank you Alex for having this wonderful campsite and helping families grow and connect . My kids are 3, 6 and 7 they are already asking to go back ! This being our first real camping trip I was worried if they wouldn’t enjoy it but they did .. YOU CANT BEAT THE PRICE WITH EVERYTHING THIS PLACE OFFERS!!! Boat , hiking , little swimming creek my kids loved , campfire and the pond that the campsite was on so we had different options too . The hut was nice we set up our table on it and had breakfast looking at the pond .. we slept in our tent but used the hut area more for storage . Firewood through out . Even though it rained you can still find some dry pieces and use that for a fire !! Getting your own fire wood with kids will make it just a more fun experience.. get off the phones , tvs , games and get some real family time here .. we can’t wait to go back!! I can’t recommend this place enough and Alex is a great host and fast to respond he takes pride in his campsite so make memories while respecting the are !!!
