Decided not to stay
I didn't end up staying and I want to explain why. First, I also want to say that aside from receiving the initial instructions after my reservation was approved, I never heard from the host again. I've never had that happen on HipCamp The bathtub is not adjacent to the campsite. You will be parked next to the driveway relatively close to the house. This is NOT what I had in mind. I suppose privacy is a very subjective issue, but it wasn't what I had in mind. You access the bathtub by walking around the house. So, it's not part of your campsite. When I got there I noticed some yellow jackets swarming around a spot on the camping site. I can't say if it's because someone dropped something there that they were drawn to or if there is a yellow jacket in the ground there. Either way, if I get stung I'm swelling up like the elephant man. By the time I parked and took a look around and walked back to my van, it was swarmed with yellow jackets. I cannot risk the possibility of getting stung. The other thing I wanted to mention is in the description of this site (currently) it says "River status: Flowing and BEAUTIFUL!". Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a drop of water flowing. This isn't what I had in mind. And I drove the 3 hours home because of it. I wasted probably$350 on this trip. Wouldnt do it again.

Hosts were friendly, and no one wants to miss that outdoor shower and claw foot bath tub.
