Wooded sites on private land provide van and tent camping off a residential road near Crimora. The campground requires careful navigation to locate, as signage is minimal and access may prove challenging after dark. Reviewers note the level sites work well for car camping, though larger setups require creative positioning.
Campers pack in all supplies, as no water or facilities are available on-site. The host responds quickly to booking inquiries but allows privacy for those preferring minimal contact. Road noise from the surrounding neighborhood occurs throughout the day, while a hill behind the sites offers hiking opportunities and sunset viewing. The location serves as an affordable overnight stop for sites near Crimora, particularly for solo travelers seeking a safe place to rest.
Description
Welcome to our super basic camping spot at the base of Round Hill (mountain). This is simply a long and very narrow grass/dyrt road that goes into the woods. We camp here with our 144" high roof Sprinter van but that just barely fits. Do NOT try to bring an RV any larger than that. Car camping or tent camping is cool. There are no bathroom facilities, no water, no electric… just woods, so please come with a self-contained camping potty or be prepared to bury your sh*t :)
The site is very private and the little woodsy road is quite level for pitching a tent(s). There is a little fire pit at the end of the lane and plenty of kindling and dead wood around for building fires. Please respect the Earth and the Fire and do not place anything other than wood in the fire pit. PLEASE do not throw cigarette butts or any other trash on the land or in the fire. We own the land to the top of the little mountain so feel free to go for a hike.
There is a turn-around on the right about 3/4 of the way up the drive that we are able to turn our Sprinter van around in (there is a little old wheel barrow marking this spot). That is the only place to turn around. If you bring more than one vehicle, plan on being parked-in other than using the turn-around OR backing all the way out.
Thanks for visiting and for spending time connecting with nature. You Are Beautiful. We appreciate you.
