We are literally on out first night here. We are staying in the converted horse trailer cabin. We love the whole aesthetic of the place. There are a few minor things that if changed would set this extremely cozy place apart from the rest! Overall, just what we wanted.

Would be good if they had a better road. Definitely NOT for motorcycles as we were told. It's a work in progress.

Beautiful place for primitive camping in the mountains. We only stayed one night but got in late so never met Brandi and Nathan, the camp hosts; however they were super responsive to messages and provided great info on where to find everything we needed. They even allowed us to switch sites to one with better trees for hammocks, all via text messages during late evening!!! They did all they could to be great hosts and they succeeded!!!
The sites are all beautiful most with a creek running right on your site, you can listen to the creek run all night long🥰

We stopped there for a week on a 5 week road trip with our pop-up. We had a great time. Clean campground, very nice attentive host, with a nice pond & great fishing and you can definitely see where they are making more improvements. We would definitely like to stay there again.
