This campsite was close to Sequoia, and the horses and other animals were cool to see. It was nice that there was a kitchen with a sink. Other than that, I wouldn’t recommend this HipCamp. There was horse poop EVERYWHERE; you’ll definitely step in it. The host messaged us to “camp anywhere,” and so we chose a spot with a campfire pit and table, but there was SO much random junk and trash scattered all over it (horse brushes, a wet and dirty blue tarp, a large box/package, blue ribbon/tape, a shovel, etc.).
We had to tidy it up to feel more comfortable. The listing says that the host will greet you upon arrival, but we never met the host during our entire stay and had to keep messaging to ask where things were (ex: bathrooms, shower, dumpster). Would be nice if the camp hosts greeted guests and gave a tour of the space. Perhaps they can install bigger signs to help campers navigate the space.
This space has potential, but they really have to tidy it up and improve the bathrooms. The bathroom that was closest to our site was a compost toilet, but the toilet itself was so high that it was difficult to squat over it. Perhaps they can put in a small stool and install a bar to hold onto while one “does the deed”? Haha!
