Site 3 Red Alder
Will be Returning
This is a great place if you are looking for something a little more laid back and quiet. Clint, the owner and up-keeper of the area is a really chill, kind gentleman. You can tell he cares a lot about his land and just wants to share it with people. I am very gracious to have been able to experience this place. PLEASE respect the land, do not litter or go to the bathroom in the surrounding plant life!! A couple things to note: There is a bit of a hike down to the campsites. I would highly suggest packing lightly. The campsites are pretty close together, so be kind to the people around you and you are sure to meet some new friends. Overall, this was a fun, chill, meditative experience. I look forward to returning here. Thanks again Clint!

Site 2 Trillium
Stunningly beautiful spot
We enjoyed our stay in Trillum 2 it was clean and had a table, fire pit and logs for seats. The water fall and pool were so magical. The composting toilet was clean and private. The walk from where you park your car to the actual site is pretty far and on a hill. You will def want to pack super light. The camp sites are very close together, you will be able to see your neighbors. That being said it truly feels like a couples retreat, the really great part (for us) was the no kids or dogs allowed. It made for a very relaxing time. Clint came out and greeted us when we got there and gave us some helpful instructions and suggested a beautiful little hike.

SITE 1 Elderberry
One of the most beautiful camping areas I’ve ever experienced. Clint was very friendly upon check in. The site was very intimate and calming. Can’t wait until we can go again!

Site 3 Red Alder
Beautiful but not private
Overall the property is beautiful, there’s a trail that leads to a stunning view of the mountains and trees. Upon arrival we were greeted by the property owner who was friendly but a little wordy. I think he could have put the information and concerns he told us on the app so my young friend and I didn’t feel uncomfortable… He then came down to the sites to talk with the other campers who basically stood outside our tent and loudly talked for 30 plus minutes… but yet the rules state we’re not even allowed to play music & keep noise down. The directions that Clint gave were relatively clear. It would have helped to add that you drive down the gravel road for about 1.6 miles before you get to the orange barrier where you turn right into the parking spaces. Personally the camp sites were very well maintained but way to close to each other. So if you are looking for a private camping spot this is not it when there’s other campers. You can basically hear each other’s conversations, although the waterfall does drown out a bit of the noise. The sun doesn’t really shine into the area which makes it feel dingy and dark, since the fire ban was still in place we couldn’t have a fire which made it worse… It also would have been nice to note that you have to haul your things down and up a hill from your car to the site, although there is a wheel barrel provided. Lastly, being surrounded by the waterfall and trees makes the area feel moist and wet so that’s something to keep it mind.

SITE 1 Elderberry
Incredible experience 20/10
The camp site is unbelievable. It’s so beautiful, so well kept and pictures truly don’t do the site justice. I am a young solo female camper and Clint went above and beyond to give me my space and privacy after checking in and giving me the run down. I screamed when a mouse jumped out of my trash can annd climbed onto me. Clint was down to the campsite to check on me from hearing a scream within 15min. Even when he came to check on me he still gave me my space. It meant a great deal to me being single and alone that he checked on me without encroaching my space. I can’t say enough good things about this Hipcamp. Follow the directions given even if you have to stop in the middle of the road n take your time. The directions are perfectly put you just have to pay attention. Also, I highly recommend bringing a wagon or packing light. Because you will have to make a 5 min walk downhill/up hill into the campsite. IT IS WELL FRIGGING WORTH IT THOUGH! I will be back and I’m so happy I booked this site. It was the perfect place to reset and recharge. My favorite part was packing a lil picnic n floating around in the kayak provided at the lil water hole. Thank you Clint for sharing your space and keeping it in tip top condition!

Hidden Gem 💎
Beautiful environmentally preserved. Not for the run of the mill campers. If you want to dump sticky bug attracting drinks or piss allover the place, please look for something more ON THE GRID! PLEASE.
