Nature-filled Gem
12 ft pop-up camper · With kids
We read the mixed reviews and weren't sure what to expect. When we arrived, Angela drove us to several different options for places to set up. I could see how people would have different experiences depending on the site, their setup, how much they explore, weather, bugs (we weren't bothered by any), and their preferences.
For our family with three kids (new to hipcamp and popup campers), this was a total gem. We added on a night and would come back!
Some notes:
- The location in a valley so it feels protected from wind but you still can see plenty around you and don't feel like you're in a valley. You can walk up to the ridge for more expansive views.
- We loved exploring the land! We saw deer, a skunk, and a turkey-ish family. We saw snake skin, a cattle skull, a bird nest, and signs of a beaver by the Cheyenne River.
- Kids couldn't walk barefoot like they typically do because of various prickly plants-- which is to be expected with the terrain in the region.
- Kids could have played all day sorting through rock piles and surfing down the gravel.
- The composting toliet setup in a mini tent tucked behind the trees was simple and is what it is. It was a nice back-up option we didn't use.
Thanks, Angela, for the opportunity to stay on your property.
