Had a great time at Michael’s camp! Rustic and simple, but everything you need. Outhouse with refillable flushing toilet, RV plug in, firepit with wood. Access to DRT trails for biking and a brewery just down the road. A billion stars at night! Lots of communication with Michael and he provided helpful advice about the area. Would stay again.!

Mikes camp is such a gem. We came for a few days on mountain biking at Thunder and this was a perfect base camp for us. From camp to the lift in minutes! Mike was very responsive and text / chatted before, during and after our trip. Having the cover to keep the dew off in the mornings was great. Great little place!

Tent
Great spot, covered so you can enjoy the site without worrying about rain. Minutes from great fishing. Michael was very communicative and straightforward in directions.

Tent
We had a wonderful time tent camping at Mike’s basecamp. Great views of nearby mountains and stars on clear nights. Easy drive to nearby shopping and coffee. Mike knows so much about the local area and happy to make recommendations. The awning on site provided welcome shelter from frost and rain on our tent.

Perfect Remote getaway!
Tent
Great remote spot!!! Mike was very knowledgeable of the area and answered all of our questions immediately!!! Perfect place for a little getaway from it all. He allowed use of his fire pit and wood, gas stove, and had electric hook up for anything needed. There is a plenty of water given his outdoor well pump and has a bathroom set up for use (covered and private). We pitched our tent under his camper shed given frost (if tenting would recommend an air mattress), but we stayed warm and dry both nights. Beautiful hikes, eateries and breweries within 15-30 minutes! Thanks again, Mike!!!
