Amazing camping experience!! They were super nice and helpful when we arrived and gave us a map of the land. We were the only ones there and had so much fun exploring their beautiful property. We will definitely be returning!!

Second time I’ve stayed here, so glad I got to come back. Just throughout the past few months, it’s clear that many improvements have been made to the camping areas. Such a gorgeous property and a really convenient location.

Hosts were so kind and accommodating. The area is gorgeous and it’s a very central location to many of the popular spots in the region. I will definitely be booking again in the future. Many camping spots to choose from, all are beautiful.

We were told that we were the first ones ever to hipcamp at Rikemo Nature Sanctuary. I don't usually write reviews but I absolutely had to for this place because people MUST camp here if they're in the area. Angel and Matt immediately made us feel welcomed. Kimchi, the black cat, is adorable! The 5 of us camped in the big field but had endless options to pitch our tents if we wanted another experience. This place was AMAZING and will only get better as they continue to restore the property. We wish we arrived earlier to explore everything - we WILL be back! Thanks for everything!
