Inclusion policyWe have a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination at Hipcamp. We are committed to helping our Host and Hipcamper communities be inclusive.
This campsite offers a charming small-town experience with a side of railroad nostalgia. Many visitors enjoyed the convenience of the on-site restaurant, which serves up delicious meals, making it a practical stopover for those on the road. The proximity to active train tracks is a frequent topic, with some finding the noise disruptive, while others see it as part of the unique experience. For those looking to connect with nature, the sight of elk and the friendliness of the locals add to the overall appeal.

Nice stop - great food!
25 ft travel trailer
This was a cool place to stop - kids really enjoyed the fire truck and small town. The restaurant is a nice perk and the food was delicious for a reasonable price. Overall a great time. The trains... well it's hit or miss. We had maybe 3 go through in the night. The train horn is loud but after that it's the peaceful rumbling of the train. Cool experience.

The restaurant was great and they were very informative. We took a short bypass on their recommendation and saw a part of history that we would have never known about. They also have multiple hookups if there is an issue with the site.

FUN for train lovers!

We loved using Dave's land! Although we weren't able to enjoy the store/diner, we enjoyed the midnight trains and the Elk that roam around the bend :). Thanks Dave for your last minute reservation and assistance/tips from the nice guys who met us !!
