The campsite offers a stunning natural setting with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River Valley and a welcoming atmosphere, thanks to host Allen and his friendly companion, Fat Cat. The trails are a bit steep, providing a challenging hike, but the reward is a private and peaceful campsite perfect for stargazing. Most reviews highlight the beauty of the location and the helpfulness of the host, though some mention the steepness of the hike as a challenge, especially after rain. Overall, it's a picturesque spot for those seeking tranquility and a touch of adventure.

I recently stayed at a Hipcamp boondock site in a peaceful pasture near a friendly farm, and it was an incredible experience. The setting offered beautiful views and a serene atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The garden was stunning, showcasing the care and love put into the space. Allen, the host, was exceptionally welcoming, keeping everything tidy and ensuring privacy. One of the highlights was Fat Cat, the farm's charming cat, who even licked my toes! The quiet, scenic location combined with the hospitality made this stay truly special. If you're seeking a tranquil escape with a personal touch, this spot is highly recommended.

About this place: Al was a perfect host. Responsive, communicative, and flexible.
And the property…absolutely stunning. A spacious site nested under a canopy of ancient oak trees high atop the bluff, overlooking a majestic vista. Perfection.
Oh, yes. I will return again.

I really enjoyed my short solo trip at Cedar camp site. Very private with some great views of the Mississippi from the edge of the bluff. It was mid 80’s and fairly humid, but the site provided much shade and had a nice breeze being at the top of the bluff. Bugs were not bad at all at the camp site. The walk back to my truck is where I got attacked by bugs…my fault didn’t spray down. Allen was a very gracious host and brought some wood up for me, so I didn’t have to carry. Would highly recommend if you want to just get away for a night. Plenty of wood to pick up in the area if you opt out of getting firewood from Allen. Really enjoyed it! Thank you!

Perfect spot on the bluff top! It is literally the highest point in every direction so rain would run off away from the site all around, (didn't have any rain anyway) but also, the bluff top breeze minimizes insects. Nice fire pit and just enough rock and log surfaces to find a spot to set everything. I hope to return to this awesome spot.

It was a fantastic experience! It was our first time taking our girls ages 6 and 7 backpack camping and they could not have loved it more. Great views, great camping location, bugs were not too bad, perfect temperature, all of it was wonderful! It had rained quite a bit for the week before hand and even the morning of out reserved day so the inclines were a bit more challenging with the trails being muddy and slippery but we all made it! We would definitely stay again!
