Oak

Best Hipcamp site we’ve had

Was a wonderful place to camp with great privacy if you’re looking to have a place to yourself. Beautiful piece of Gods creation to enjoy. It was lots of fun seeing the animals. Archer was very friendly. It was the best Hipcamp location we have had. Thank you fir letting us enjoy your place.

Meadow

The Meadow site is beautiful and large enough for a any size rig. We stayed there with our 37' 5th wheel. Plenty of room. The mowed grassy area truly made it feel like a highland meadow. Great lake view. Excellent fire pit. We recommend Jake & Amy as friendly, welcoming hosts, and the site for peace and solitude.

Meadow

We had an amazing time at Jake and Amy’s! The location was secluded and provided walks/trails with swimming nearby. The animals were very nice and Amy provided some fresh vegetables. We would love to come back!
