This is a lovely place to tent camp. The staff is friendly. The bathrooms have an outhouse look, without the stench. The toilets flush and a sink to wash your hands.nThe stream runs along all of the campsites. There are great hikes and fun places to explore. You can't use the fire pits during fire season, but each campsite has a barbeque that you can put charcoal in for cooking. I will definitely camp here again. ⛺
I immediately fell in love with this camp when I arrived. It was like the ultimate playground in the middle of the forest. Perfect place to come with friends or family to get away for the weekend. I ended up staying a bit longer than originally planned and even that was not enough time spent there, I was so sad to leave.nnThe drive up was gorgeous. Winding mountain roads, maybe only saw one or two other cars go by as I got closer to the camp. I like being away from crowds of people though, so this was nice. Upon arriving, I checked in with my host at the General store and she was so nice, I loved her excitement and zest for life! She took me back to the cabin and showed me around the grounds. There were the coolest little stepping “stones” to cross the creek, there was this amazing fire pit area, picnic tables at the campsites (if it wasn’t cold, I almost wanted to just set up my tent and camp).nnThe cabin was quiet and cozy. It had everything you need for a weekend getaway. There was a kitchen, sink, dishes, utensils, a propane stove/oven and lots of counter space so you and some friends can all get together and cook up a good meal. There is also a bathroom, super awesome when you’re in the middle of the woods and you have these amenities you’re used to. There is a wood burning stove/heater in the living room and there is plenty of firewood available for you to use here. I kept it burning all night and it was just the toastiest little cabin, I actually ended up being so lazy and staying cuddled up and warm for hours in this cabin. If there are a few of you coming, there is also a bed upstairs, so bring an air mattress and throw it on there and you’re good to go. The bed downstairs already has an air mattress on it, so I didn’t have to worry about bringing one.nnThe property is over 100 acres tucked away between the national forest. You’re down in the valley, so it’s got this magical vibe to just being there. There are plenty of trails on the property, even with cute trail signs so you know where you are. There is a historic mineral springs bath house on the property that you can hike near and it is beautiful, if it’s hot out, hop in the water! So refreshing!! There is also the Box Canyon Trail that I hiked and that is a real lengthy one, it goes off the property and connects to a trail in the national forest. That is pretty cool, because you’ll be on a trail that is not easily accessible to anyone coming in from the national forest, so you will most likely be pretty alone out there.nnThere were some WWOOFers (volunteers to help with farming) on the property too, so I ended up meeting up with them and hanging out, chatting, playing cards; they were wonderful. I absolutely loved meeting them and being able to hear them play music or tell some cool stories from their travels around the world. I liked that even though the camping was private and secluded, I could venture up the trail closer to the general store and converse with other humans with similar interests and goals in life.nnMy host, Carrie, she has this wonderful dream for the property of being able to hold big events or a festival once a year there. This would be incredible here. So if you think this is something you would be interested in having, this property may be a fit for you too in that aspect.nnTipsn- Bring mosquito sprayn- If you are using the wood burning stove/heater in the living room, do not put anything on top of it. It will get hot and melt it. Especially don’t leave the match boxes up therennField Notesn- Private / secluded / have place to yourselfn- Signs along trails pointing u where to gon- Historic mineral hot springs on the propertyn- Good hike down Box Canyon trail, goes off property and into the National Forest - there is a creek and the spot where you cross on the trail, there were tons of butterfliesn- Magical
It's under newer ownership, they have done a lot of work to it, but there's more to do. The area is amazing though. It will be one of the nicest campgrounds ever. I'm definitely coming back
The experience we had exceded my expectations! There are plenty of trees and our camping spot was right next to the stream, we had a wooden platform like a balcony overlooking the stream which was very handy to watch the kids while they were playing in the water. The fire pit, bench, picnic table and the water spout are all very well placed. There was also a wood chopping area with an axe, a swing a little further down and a teether ball. At first I was little confused by where the bathrooms were. It's located across the stream. I thought we were supposed to use the bathroom inside the hipcamper up the creek cabin but there's a small bathroom cabin right next to it. The bathrooms are clean and they are very well kept with toilet paper may I add. There were a couple other people camping but we were so far apart I didn't even notice them, we might as well have been the only ones there! Which was nice for privacy. The only thing that's really missing here are showers, but that really didn't bother us, because we spent a lot of time in the stream which was very refreshing, certain areas of the stream/river are deep enough for an adult to take a full dip. Also we arrived pretty late at night, I made sure to let Carrie know ahead of time. When we arrived a man came and showed us the way to our site. Thumbs up!
Formerly known as Deerlick Springs. Very secluded and beautiful. Bigfoot country!
