Really nice spot!

Tent · With kids

This is a beautiful, private spot! Tons of trees, a really nice fire pit and it’s secluded. We went with a group of friends, our daughter and two dogs and had a great time!

Fun weekend

Tent

Had a great weekend tarp camping at Daniel’s property, despite getting a lot of rain. Loved the fire pit area and the cooking grate. Site is private, a little bit of a hike, but not bad. Water available from a pump or a spring. Overall, a nice setup not far from Columbus. Great communication.

Beautiful Wooded Area

Tent · With kids

Absolutely beautiful space! The wooded area is gigantic and really amazing. The tree cover keeps it cool even on hot days, too. My trip was a camp out with my ten-year-old and some of his friends and they loved it! You do have to set up camp on a little bit of an incline, but it was no problem for us. Also, don’t overpack because it’s a couple hundred yards from the parking to the campsite (this is more of a positive than a negative since the area is so nice and secluded—just something to keep in mind). Also, the hosts were very kind, accommodating and responsive.

A nice quiet spot in the woods! We heard owls and a fox. Saw several deer and enjoyed perfect weather at this hipcamp.

Tent

My wife and I loved tent camping here. With a few bonus amenities (eggs for purchase, cooking grate, some lighting, water, etc.), this is a great option while still being remote! With there only being one site in the listing you have the space to yourself. Easy to get to and a welcoming host! Looking forward to returning in the future!

Hitched a tent for a night here, and will definitely be doing so again. Daniel was welcoming and helpful and the campsite was super cute. Especially loved all the lights and the hand painted signs.
