THE SITE

A mountain-top perch with expansive views

The camp’s defining feature is its mountain-top setting and the stunning views it affords — the reason most guests choose this spot for both short and multi-night stays.

THE CAMP OPTIONS

RVs, tents or true primitive nights

Space is laid out for traditional tent camping, primitive sites and RVs, giving visitors the choice to travel light or bring wheels and a trailer.

THE ACCESS

Off-road trails are part of the equation

The property links to off-road trails — access is intended for trail-capable off-road vehicles, and motorized trail recreation may incur a separate day-use fee in addition to camping charges.

What the day feels like

What a stay feels like

Arrivals flow through a defined check-in window, then disperse to RV pads, tent plots or primitive sites on the ridge; once set, the property’s off-road trails provide the day’s activity options. Stays are intentionally flexible — from single nights to stretches up to ten nights — letting visitors tailor the trip to a long weekend or a longer unplugged run.

Suitability
