Site 1: Canvas Tent
It was wonderful. The hosts were very accommodating and willing to help or provide water when needed.

Seasonal creek, great hiking nearby
Love the proximity of the stream and the container home/site they are working on. I knew it was a very hot weekend even at this elevation (high ~90 degrees). But I had already booked in advance and wanted to try out the location. Definitely had to use the awning on my 4Runner and put up some tarps for 270 degree sun protection. Had to take my springer spaniel down to the trickling creek multiple times, maybe 200 feet down the property, to keep him cool.
The site is completely exposed from maybe 11am-4pm during July, so bring some pop up canopies. Also bring good boots or trail runners, as the path down to the creek is steep and leafy/slippery.
There are tons of amazing hikes that start nearby. I will be back in fall/spring when the temps are more conducive to hiking with my dog.
I did get to test out my Dometic dual zone cooler in the heat running on my Jackery 1000 pro, and it performed very efficiently considering the temps!
The canvas tent (?) site ~200 feet above me was much better shaded.

Quick weekend getaway
We roof top tent camped at the property and it was epic. We had so ample and excess room at the site for camping and for the kids to play. We lucked out for sure! The drive up was beautiful, and super close to town (even though we never left camp). The host welcomed us when we arrived and gave us the full run-down. Communication was done over text and they were quick and responsive. Even though there was hiking and a rope swing (which the kids loved) the trail was very sloped and not easy for the young kids. I would definitely recommend some hiking boots if you go exploring. I will 100% be booking this site again! I had 4x4 and the hill was easy… but if you are driving a basic car without 4x4 or awdc you will struggle getting up and down to the campsite.
Thank you again for an amazing trip and forever memories!

Thank you for the hospitality
Great outdoor experience! I recommend it. The tent was amazing and the land was like camping in Idyllwild wilderness

pleasant stay!
Very nice and flat site very close to hiking trails and the center of town. You can hear a little highway noise and also take serious note that you will absolutely need 4WD to access the site. It's not a long road, but there is a steep section to get down to the site. Also a very nice compost toilet which is always a bonus when camping!
