No longer hosting campers
This property is no longer hosting guests. Apparently John has had trouble getting the message through to Hipcamp. I'd stayed there in the Spring and he had said he would be stopping the camping set-up, but when I searched the area for a place to stay, it came up with one tipi and two campsites still available. I thought maybe he'd changed his mind ... the reply giving directions, etc. came through and everything! Guess those are automatic ... ?
So I pulled in to his private property, after dark, very tired after driving all day, opened a closed gate, drove right past a "NO TRESPASSING SIGN" only to find the place is not operational as a place to camp. Luckily, John is a very nice guy and let me set up my tent in one of the former primitive camping spots. Lucky I had my tent with me! The showers are no longer in operation (aggh I was really looking forward to a shower) but he did make sure I had a toilet to use. I am very grateful to John, however the listing needs to be taken down!
I am sad he's not doing it anymore as it was a great thing he was doing - very generous and creative. But don't make the same mistake I did! Hipcamp, take down the listing!
