Great time and the hosts were good people. It’s nice not camping in a crowd but being close enough to a town for essentials and maybe some bbq!

Thank you to Valentina and Tim for hosting us! It was a great weekend. The site was located right along a creek and featured a variety of small trails. Also, Tim was able to provide us with some free firewood when arriving to the campsite! The outhouse was also extremely clean. I would recommend this site to everyone!

I loved tent camping at Valentina’s property. It was peaceful, quiet and beautiful. I had fun off- roading to the campsite and hiking around the property, she has a lot of land to explore. Definitely would recommend if you like camping, hiking and Mother Nature

We absolutely loved our stay and 100% cannot wait to return as soon as possible! In my opinion, this has the most value for any stay we could have booked. A clean outhouse is provided with wood chips, picnic table area (yes there are bees, but you’re in their home) and a full on water park just steps away from your campsite. It’s hard to describe this area in words, it’s beyond amazing. She did mention during the check in tour that there might be kids or other people in the area, and sure enough within about 20 minutes of us settling in to the site there were other people hiking directly above us. After about 10 minutes or so, they left but we were weary of others walking into the campsite. We just made sure we changed in the car and things like that. But, understanding the beauty of this spot it’s easy to understand that others want to enjoy it too. You definitely need all terrain tires and Subaru came through with the x mode, but that helped with the sites seclusion and scenic beauty. The stargazing out there is unreal. Bring the kids and teach them young to appreciate nature and wildlife! Absolutely beautiful and would recommend any nature lover to book this stay.

An Unforgettable Riverside Escape
My wife and I recently visited this private campground for 2 days. We captured our entire stay in 4K quality, so if you want to see the beauty of this hidden gem for yourself, stay tuned for the video on our YouTube channel, "AMERSIAN CAMPERS". We’ll be uploading it soon—don't miss out on that. It was an amazing experience. Nestledright next to a shallow, refreshing river, the scenery was truly breathtaking. The water was crystal clear, and we even spotted a foot-long salmon and countless baby salmon swimming upstream. It was nature at its finest, making the atmosphere feel both fresh and serene. One of the highlights of this campground is its peace and quiet. If you’re looking to escape the noise and hustle of daily life, this place is perfect. Despite the last mile being a bit of an off-road adventure, you don’t need an all-wheel drive or any special off-road vehicle to get there. The campsite itself is well-maintained, with a picnic table provided. Due to the dry weather, however, the fire pit was removed for safety reasons. A heads-up for fellow campers—there are no trash cans, so you'll need to pack out your trash when you leave, which is a great way to stay environmentally responsible. The hosts were an absolute delight! A lovely couple who welcomed us with open arms, they even gave us fresh eggplant and zucchini from their garden, and encouraged us to pick more vegetables if we want. Their warmth and generosity made the experience even more memorable.
