Site 1 Falls

We had a wonderful time camping at Site 1 on Shawn's land! Such a beautiful location with the peaceful stream and quiet forest. Shawn was an awesome host, above and beyond accommodating! I hope to come back someday!

Site 1 Falls

A slice of life.

Shawn's land is, in my opinion, perfect. A place to get away from the people and let the sounds of nature wash over you. The Falls site is well secluded and was perfect to let the dogs run around and explore the rocks and creek. The breeze kept most of the bugs away during our stay and the trees provided great cover for the firepit and tent area during light showers. 10/10 would recommend this spot to any camper and I hope it doesn't change, we will be back. Did I mention you fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of soft waterfalls?!

Site 2 Garden

Amazing off grid site!

My group had an amazing start of our trip camping at the garden site! Definitely recommend having a 4x4 vehicle to get to the site if you’re planning on driving in. Shawn was incredibly friendly and helpful and even offered a guitar to play around the fire. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Site 2 Garden

I cannot stress how perfect this site was. I could have stayed here another week and still not have run out of things to do/explore without even moving our vehicle. The site is located very close to a massive trail system with some surprisingly challenging mtn bike and hiking trails. The small lake nearby is pristine and the surrounding forests were beautiful. Our dogs could have chased chipmunks forever, and we had the pleasure of falling asleep to owls and other wildlife. Our host, Shawn, was incredibly kind and accommodating and even offered use of a cabin when it was raining. He seemed to be a genuine steward of his land and added personal and thoughtful touches to each site, which we were encouraged to explore. We will definitely be back. It was everything we could have asked for in a Hipcamp, and more.
