Amazing and serene property
Tent
Was searching for a camp spot with fishing access and came upon Calans property at elks beach. Directions getting to the property were easy to follow. Plenty of parking. Once I arrived to the site I was instantly amazed at how clean and serene it was. I enjoyed every second of my stay. Will definitely be booking again!! Also a great fishing spot.

What a great spot! I wanted to find a place that wasn’t too far outside the city, and this hipcamp was the perfect little getaway. I plan on coming back next summer :)

I loved this spot. Nice to have a more private beach area so close to the city. Would definitely stay here again. The only things that could have been better is the lighting situation. All bulbs except one where burnt out so we just had to rely on our own light sources. It was so nice to be able to add on s’more stuff and wood. I just wish there would have been skewers. I didn’t bring any bc I just assumed it would come with it but overall great place to stay. Host was very responsive and helpful with location
