BaseCamp is respite nestled into the Arcadia Valley just miles from Shepherd Mountain Bike Psrk. With nearly 70 acres surrounded by Mark Twain National Forest, there are many opportunities for hiking, botanical exploration, licensed fishing, mountain biking, equine accessible trails, and much more. There is a small pond on the property with a walking trail and a rock garden that doubles as a small creek when rains are heavy. With camping options ranging from backpacking and tent camping to van dwellers and Tiny House glamping, all are welcome. Adventure begins at Base Camp!A mountain bikers dream, BaseCamp has 400 ft. of climb for a great downhill ride! The first campsite on the left, "High and Dry" is tucked into a cove of trees and sits near the creek bed. The campsite is laid in gravel and leveled. There is a fire ring with complimentary wood available, a picnic table positioned nearby, and a designated spot for tent campers. The restroom and potable water are located across the dry creek bed, along with a communal firepit. There are no other sites around High and Dry, so privacy is abundant.

Great place to sit and relax

Although the area is known for trails, I went to sit and relax, try out some camping equipment, and catch up on pleasure reading. This site was prefect. The host has done a lot of work to ensure a clean and safe site, and it was very peaceful. The whippoorwills were in true form, the frogs in the pond sang each evening, and there is plenty of other small wildlife. I'll be back!

Sherri’s land is secluded and quiet, but close enough to town for any amenities if we ran out or forgot something. We were right beside a babbling brook and we took many naps to the sound of the water flowing by. Great hiking only a short drive away. The out house was spectacularly clean, probably the cleanest I have ever seen. Could not recommend enough.

Great Space!

Sherri's land was just what we were looking for on a misty fall weekend: private, quiet, close to great trails, and ample firewood! We would highly recommend it. Thanks Sherri!

Peaceful

We ended up having to unexpectedly leave early, but we were looking forward to having a relaxing weekend here. The space is clean, large, and tucked back into the woods. It’s a perfect retreat for these cool, fall weekends.
