Beautiful, open landscape!

This was such a great experience! Mr. Leach was very accommodating! The land and ponds were beautiful. My daughter and I went to fish for the day and had a blast! Will definately return!

Camping in a Postcard

We had a wonderful stay. The host was both respectful of our space and very accommodating—couldn't have asked for more. After reading about the dog, we were a bit concerned, but the dog was friendly and no trouble at all. The site was picturesque and well-kept. Definitely worth a visit for anyone. As our first experience with Hipcamp, we feel like we struck gold!

Vic’s Place. You’re gonna love it.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome…and I mean AWESOME time. Victor made us feel at home right away, went above and beyond as a host, took the kids for a little ride on rounds around the property. Pond is awesome, you will catch fish. Even said we could keep a few of the bluegill or small bass. Beautiful property, manicured camping and area around the ponds. His dogs were super friendly and the Labrador named Blue was like family. She was an excellent tour guide and the kids loved her. The scenery at night is a breathtaking view of the stars. Even a private bathroom with a shower to use. Definitely a game changer in the camping scene, big bonus. Will DEFINITELY be returning sooner than later.

Host lacks southern hospitality

This was our first time using HipCamp and I was very disappointed with how rude the host was. Firstly, the “friendly” dogs are not all friendly. Victor instructed me to follow him after part of our group had already been shown to our spot. One of the dogs defensively barked and circled my car. Victor sped off into a wooded area and I stopped my car to avoid hitting the dog. Victor angrily circles back to my car as I was turning around to follow him and he goes, “What part of follow me do you not understand? Do you think I’m a predator luring you into the woods?” That was a very creepy and unnecessary thing to say, especially as it was just me and my young children in my car. He then rolls his eyes and I follow him to where my friends were. He then approaches my friends and says, “Who’s girlfriend is this? She’s not very bright.” Again, a very rude and unnecessary thing to say. Doesn’t seem very bright to me to insult guests. Not sure if he was having a bad day, but he was not at all like what the other reviewers mentioned. We are locals and were wanting to fish with some friends that were out of state. He made us feel very uncomfortable and I felt very weirded out by the predator comment. We usually use another site to book camping spots and have never dealt with a host like this.

The land is beautiful, lots to do. Victor is very helpful and down to earth. Would recommend his place to people and go again!

What a great first Hipcamp experience! Victor was an excellent host and his property is beautiful! The access to a bathroom and shower was much appreciated after a long day in the hot sun. Our boys LOVED fishing and caught dozens of fish. There were trails to explore on the side-by-side and a little sandy swimming spot on the pond. We enjoyed the company of Blue, Victor’s sweet lab, during our stay. She was great company for our pup and our kids loved her. This was the peaceful weekend away we were hoping for! 10/10
