This campsite offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite for those seeking natural beauty and seclusion. However, accessing the site can be challenging, with a rough trail requiring 4x4 vehicles, and some guests reported issues with directions and communication with the host. Privacy concerns were also noted, as the site seems to attract locals who are unaware it's a reserved spot. Despite these drawbacks, many campers appreciated the scenic sunsets and overall tranquility once settled in.

Extremely disappointed.
Tent
My Husband & I were so excited to camp at this spot, had it on our list for a year, & booked it a couple of weeks out. A few days before our booking, we noticed the weather was looking risky for the dates we picked. Thankfully, we had paid for the weather coverage, so we could be refunded if the weather was really bad and noncampable. I reached out to the camp host & we decided it was not a good weekend because the weather & we were right! It ended up storming & we had tornado watches-- very glad we opted out of it. The camp host agreed to allow me to change the dates instead of refunding & booking again. However, I have since been ghosted after asking why there was a fee to change the dates, as I was unaware & would have preferred a refund. But now I have no refund or hope of camping in this beautiful spot. Really bummed.

Beautiful but DO NOT recommend
Tent · With pets
First off, Sandra was unresponsive and altogether unhelpful despite the listing saying to message her for directions. Do not go to the PIN she provided. It’s not even close. The trip into the site is littered with thorns and tree limbs that will scratch your vehicle(everywhere). No maintenance whatsoever. I actually moved two trees that were across the path just to get in. There are HUGE mud holes that will bottom you out & there is no help to get you out. To avoid them you must be willing to take scratches all down your vehicle. I would only suggest going if you have a jeep or ATV. It is a beautiful site once you get there but this is most likely land passed down that is no longer maintenanced and rented out to make a buck. Pretty place but do not recommend. PS we got stuck and lucked out to find some guys willing to help . We did not get to the site until 8pm because of this & no refund or reduction was given despite the POOR maintained entrance & poor communication. Thanks.

Amazing view, site not secure
Tent · With kids
This a beautiful location. We love camping here. The drive in is an adventure, but that's part of the fun for us! Our only complaint was the ATV that drove through our campsite at midnight. I wish there was some attempt at securing the site for paying guests. Even a yellow plastic chain that indicated the site was rented/ private.

It’s a beautiful spot, but there are a couple of concerns with getting to the location. First the host was great and communicated well. I read on some other reviews the trail was narrow and 4wd was needed. Not a problem for me on the 4wd part, but my truck is wider than a jeep or Toyota, so I asked the host if I’d be able to get through. She responded, and said she thought I would be able to but there were some tight spots and the sneak around for the mud puddles was mainly where it got narrow. 15 feet into the trail is a long deep mud hole, with a sneak around that’s ver tight. I made it through the sneak around as I could see tires sticking up in the mud hole so was worried about what else I might find going through it. I scraped on my rock sliders against a tree making the sneak around, no big deal. The rest of the way bag to the campsite was a combination of mud holes and narrow sneak arounds. I mostly just hit the mud holes with a little momentum and my differential locked and although the holes were pretty soft, I made it through no problem. The site itself was large and mostly flat. It was quiet and nice. Would definitely go again. The cows and dogs below the site stop making noise shortly after dark.

Beautiful and secluded

Fun trail leading to the site, definitely need 4x4 and good clearance. Don’t get stuck like me because you tried to go through mud you shouldn’t have. There are plenty of go around trails for the bigger mud puddles. View was absolutely fantastic.
