First off, the sites are very close together. They’re also very uneven and small. Difficult to pitch even a small 2 person tent. Traffic lights and noise was a distraction. As was the constant gunfire.

Beautiful land! Very quiet. Perfect for small campervan’s and tenting.

This was a beautiful site. Carl and his wife were gracious and helpful hosts. The site is very close to the Rum River state Forest. There are beautiful trails. There is also a huge equestrian campsite I hope to use in the future.

Site was as described and easy to find using navigation and watching for address number.
Bed was comfortable for one night. Location was great for peace and quiet after dark. Several other sites were nearby but empty - be aware privacy isn’t ensured if other sites are occupied.
In warmer months bring bug spray as there’s flowing water, and be ready for muddy conditions if recent rains. Plenty of land to explore and wander if desired.
One person is not likely to be able to lift the roof awning; two is better! Just enough space to sleep and rest and relax. The solar lighting is a nice touch. Not any storage off the floor other than the bed space, so be aware; perhaps a hook or two for jackets or gear?
All in all a good first visit and an amazing find!

Site 9 - The Camps at the Vineyards
As advertised. Nice spot along a little river. Good field for playing with the kid and dog.
Some road noise but not much. Overall great quick trip from the city.

Was my first time using Hipcamp and booking a campsite my self. The owner Carl made everything so simple and i was beyond impressed with the campsite. I ended up booking wrong night and Carl let me switch my dates and was extremely understanding about the whole situation which took huge stress off my shoulders. Shout out to Carl and his beautiful campsite for making me and my finances weekend so memorable and stress free. The land is beyond beautiful, clean, peaceful, and over all 10/10. You have the river, the trees, the wildlife, and the location is hidden enough to where you feel like you’re escaping the world but still 15 min from a gas station incase you forget anything! Highly reccomend will definitely be coming here often and recommending to my family and friends.
