Dawn's campsite offers a blend of privacy and convenience, with clean facilities and thoughtful amenities like outdoor showers and s'mores kits. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality, noting the friendly host and her dog Luna, who adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The site is nicely decorated, well-maintained, and strategically located near hiking trails and beaches.

Lovely creekside property

It was a nice secluded property with a lovely shower. Next to the road so you’ll hear a tiny bit of traffic. Also may recommend requesting some more specific instructions to the site itself, as the gate is clearly visible, but hard to tell at first if it’s *the* gate.

Cute but pricey

Lovely spot. But overpriced for us. If it’s a location you are looking for , this is lovely. But in our case a parking spot for USD143$ … I guess I was too broke.

Gracious hosts & a beautiful place

The land was beautiful and private! The bathroom was super clean and the outdoor shower was a treat. We booked a tent spot but with the rain, Dawn offered the barn for us to use as a dry hang-out spot. Not only was this a super kind gesture, but also the barn was the PERFECT spot for us to spend time in. It was beautifully decorated with lots of kitchen amenities, and they even left gifts for us to use which was very much appreciated. I absolutely loved this space and would highly recommend it to anyone!

This was one of my favorite spots I have stayed at so far. Favorite part was getting daily visits from Dawn’s dog, Luna. Felt very protected by her. The location was perfect! Only 20 minutes away from the boardwalk and close to really nice spots to go hiking. Dawn was very responsive and so sweet. Felt very safe and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Thank you so much Dawn!
