KEEP READING!
This is a fenced-in property right by the Provo River and the beautiful city park. It's surrounded by trees and the fresh smell and sound of the rushing river.
You'll have access to the private driveway, the gated entry, and you can place your tent or camper anywhere on the lot. (Tent campers- this is not a quiet area. Tent camping not recommended unless you sleep like the dead.)
We're steps from the Provo River trail that takes bikers and joggers to Utah Lake or up into Provo Canyon. It's great for taking long beautiful walks along the river.
The river is just 100 feet away! You can make your way to the edge and sit with your feet in the fresh flowing water. There are many places where you can easily step into the river and swim, raft or fish.
The park located right next to us is heavily wooded with lots of private spaces for meditation or exploration. The small duck pond is home to many beautiful wild ducks that will be happy to accept your food offerings.
HipCampers who love the space typically want a safe but urban area to explore, relax, or work as part of their nomad lifestyle.
*SET UP: You may set up camp anywhere on the lot. Our trailer is the Catalina. We're not there every day. Please note that we do use our fire pit sometimes so park away from that if you don't like smoke. The land is relatively flat so you won't have a hard time or even need to level your vehicle.
*NOISE: Please note we are close to a train track and you WILL hear the train sound in the night. We are also in proximity to a freeway which is not visible but sometimes able to be heard. You may hear people talking in the parking lot and vehicles moving.
*SECURITY: We are in a safe albeit public area. There is one streetlamp that lights the bridge going across the river to the park and bathrooms. Other than that, it's very dark, so bring a good flashlight. Because of the lack of lighting at night, it feels very private. Some guests have reported it feels sketchy at night which is understandable for someone to feel when in new surroundings. Yes, people use the path and sometimes the parking lot during the night, but we're in a very safe area compared to other cities. We ask that you keep all gates closed and locked at all times.
*TOILETS: Toilets are in the city park and are usually open, though they close for the winter season. There is a park just a little further down the trail that also has bathrooms. It is better to plan on no toilet services during the winter. We are not responsible for the city toilets so if you plan to judge your experience on them, please don't stay here. ;). We don't know when they open/close for the seasons.
*WATER: Drinking water is available on our lot. Provo city water is safe to drink.
*POWER: Power is available with the purchase of the power "extra" at checkout. You MUST pre-order this add-on. Power is locked but we will give you the code if you have purchased the extra.
*PRIVACY: Our lot is completely enclosed. On the public side (park and trail), we have a 8' tall concrete fence. Immediately outside our gate, you'll have access to the park and trail. The playground/pavilions/duckpond is on the other side of the river across the bridge. Provo residents are very friendly.
*PETS: We are so sorry but pets are not permitted anymore. We’ve had problems with guest pets so we have to say no more.
*NEIGHBORS: We have a caretaker living on the lot. You will see his camper when you arrive. He keeps an eye on the property and is willing to help you if needed, but his job is not caring for Hipcampers. He will leave you alone.
•CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIES: We recently installed the beautiful and secure concrete fence, however the contractor left debris. It's big and heavy so we're slowly removing it, but please be aware that it is there. It does not obstruct camping areas.
*ABSOLUTELY NO parties, no drinking, no drugs, no loud music.
*NO GENERATORS. No you are not an exception. Yes, they are ALWAYS too loud. If we hear it or get a call from a neighbor that you are running it, we will ask you to leave with no refund.
*NON-WATERED LANDSCAPE WARNING. The grass in the park is green. Our lot is a 1/2 acre without a sprinkler system. Please don't arrive expecting everything to be green. We lay down mulch in the main areas but we let the weeds do their thing (which is die in the hot summer sun). Also please keep in mind that this is RAW LAND and not a manicured lawn. Thank you for your understanding.
*CHECK IN TIME- is anytime after 2pm.
****THIS LOT IS PERFECT for you if you: -are boondocking (dry camping) with a self-contained vehicle or tent (and are not a light sleeper.) -like the convenience of our location -need an easy and safe place to sleep as you make a road trip stop. (we're close to gas and the freeway) -have read all the transparency in the listing and think it'd be a good fit
****THIS LOT is NOT perfect for you if you: -Are recreational camping and want a mountain or remote setting. Remember- this is within city limits. -haven't read everything above. Because guests who don't read a listing all the way through but still make a booking may be disappointed.
CANCELLATIONS: If you arrive and the site won't work for you, please contact me before 9pm.
