Site 6 - Experience Heaven
We loved our two nights at the lake with our three kids and dog. David was incredibly kind and helpful, and offered us the use of an unbooked campsite as well as an extra night. We tried all the boats and read books from the lending library and had a lovely time all around. Highly recommended!

Beautiful area with an amazing host
David is an amazing host, and we had a wonderful stay at Experience Heaven. Definitely worth the stay if you're in the area.

Above and beyond hospitality
Dave greeted us upon our arrival and gave quick clear instructions and information about where we should park our van and what fun things we could do while we stayed (including using any of the kayaks, canoes or paddle boards!). We had the most peaceful and enjoyable day and evening. The nature that surrounds this Hipcamp truly is soul filling.
After enjoying the sunrise and some coffee we got ready to leave and unfortunately ran into some car trouble. Dave went above and beyond to ensure we were able to get what we needed from town to fix our van. His kindness, knowledge and generosity meant the world to us.
We will 100% be coming back someday and give the highest of recommend. ations to anyone considering staying on this beautiful lake.
Thank you so much Dave for all you did for us.

Lovely spot!
Such a lovely location - quiet, peaceful and beautiful! We stayed in the osprey during a mid-June cold snap which meant we woke to snow but stayed cozy (maybe even a little hot in the ger because that wood stove cooks!). The Ger is well equipped, washing station, drinking water, cooking area with fridge, microwave, coffee pot and a lot more. There was lots of fire wood available. The view is amazing! There was no one else around except David, Stormy (the sweetest dog ever), birds and deer. David is very friendly and helpful, comes by to say hello and make sure everything is ok but gives you your privacy. We didn't get to play on the lake because it was too cold but there were boats and paddle boards available and I'd love to come back to enjoy the lake when the weather is a little better. David changed the pricing on the Ger after we booked, lowering the nightly rate which I didn't know but he reimbursed us for the difference in cost which was so nice and unexpected, and honestly not necessary since we had booked at the higher rate. Really great experience all the way around. I will be back and would love to camp at one of the sites on the lake.

Experience Heaven!!!
This property lives up to its name – heaven! We stayed here two nights camping. Our tent site had a picnic table and fire ring, parking for one car, and a flat, level area that was big enough for two medium size tents. The porta potties were clean and smelled good. Toilet paper was soft. There was a huge mound of split firewood at no additional cost, and a donation box was available for cash or Venmo. The pieces were perfect, and there was even some small size kindling in case he didn’t have hatchet. A wheelbarrow to haul it. The lake was beautiful And peaceful. There is fisherman, but no loud boats.. The location was outstanding! Right in the middle of the national Monument with all all of the fun things to do in the area. Truly geological Wonderland . If you like, hiking, obsidian, volcanoes, it’s a great place to explore. David was very friendly and conversational. He came by and checked on us once. Enough to make sure we had what we needed for the weekend, but not so much where it was at all intrusive. He has a really cute dog. The other guests were very quiet, polite, and courteous. So if you’re looking for a place to camp, hang out, enjoy the national monument, this is the place for you. We really enjoyed staying here. And will definitely come back. Thank you David!!!!
