Bliss
What a serene, gorgeous location! The water was cool and clear and the camp-site was tidy and inviting. The picnic table was lit with solar lights and there was plenty of room for a large tent and vehicle. There was even a perfect spot for the hammock! Tim and Valentina were both lovely and provided heaps of information about the camp-site and surrounds. The trail around the property was a few miles and meandered through oak forest and down along the creek, which the dog loved exploring each morning and afternoon. I will definitely be returning for another refresher. Thank you for sharing your special space!

Private camping with stunning views
This is our 2nd time staying at this property and 1st time at the South Camp. Both camps our beautiful but the South camp is our new favorite! Some of the views at this site are unbelievable. Easy access to the river and swimming areas. Easy hiking trails. Very clean and completely private. A 4WD vehicle is definitely required with a standard SUV clearance. It’s an easy trail to get to the camp but due to the steep inclines and loose terrain, non-4WD vehicles wouldn’t make it. We will be back for sure!

Great secluded camping spot!
We had such a great time at Valentina's spot! Amazing to be right by the creek and feel so secluded. The creek had really great spots to dip into as well as hike around. We saw not one other human around while we were there and felt like we had the place to ourselves. I would recommend to anyone and would totally come back in the future!

Our family had a great time camping at the property. We really enjoyed the privacy of having the camp site to ourselves and the kids really liked playing in the water !

Secluded!!
Very nice camping place. Beautiful cold creek with frogs croaking at night. Trees of all kinds full of birds we mostly saw woodpeckers but also some jays and a scattering of hummingbirds, finches and assorted small birds. Turkeys also. We like secluded places and this one was sure secluded. And believe what you read about needing 4 wheel drive to get in and out. The family wagon will not make it. It’s not the Rubicon trail but you want 4 wheel drive. Let’s talk about the site itself , excellent table, good flat spots good trails along the creek , the outhouse gets a 10 out of 10 and if you plan well you can keep your tent and truck out of the sun. We’ve already reserved another trip, it’s that good.

This was an amazing, private spot! We love having a creek to romp around with baby trout swimming around our feet. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!
