We arrived at Chef Udo’s property on a particularly windy night, for which we were a bit unprepared. To stay at Chef Udo’s Hipcamp is to be provided with all of the nurturance needed to feel at home. I have yet to visit a Hipcamp with such a genuine, compassionate, gentle, well-humored, talented, and kind host as Udo. His food was incredible and we will be talking about his gumbo for years to come (though hopefully it won’t take us that long to return)! Chef Udo repeatedly went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was special, even after our stay at his property ended. Every unplanned possibility for stress that came our way, he was there to support us. Do yourself a favor and take the time to get to know him, even just a little bit, and you’ll find a spectacular human who is knowledgeable about the natural wonders of the area and about life itself. Thank you, Udo, from the bottom of our hearts. You have made our whole trip something we will never forget, and have made a lasting impression in our lives!
