Tim is amazing! And his land had some amazing views. The space wasn't near enough to anyone else, we could see a couple tents but could barely hear them. We would stay there again without question.
Tim was very kind and accommodating, and the site was perfect for our tent. We are excited to come back!
Fun experience, Tim was a great host and brought us donuts in the morning! He also provided running water to our camp site and there is a nearby toilet/shower. Thank you. Ask him about the "Dog house".
Great location and super friendly and accommodating host. Perfect fit my sons first camping trip.
This is our first experience of hipcamping and we loved it! Tim is very friendly and has great stories. The area is quiet and he provides water, stove and storage for supplies. We overpacked because our site already had a stove, fresh water, table and chairs. We are also 30 minutes from town just in case you forgot anything. We were also an hour from Julian and great pies! Tim has lived here for decades and can give you tips on where to visit.
Tim was a great host! Very friendly and accommodating. I will say the Hipcamp directions link did not take me to his house, it was a set of coordinates and not the right location, so input his address instead. Also know that there is no Verizon service in the area. Tom has Wi-Fi, but it was hit or miss depending on where you stood. The Lyons Valley Trading Post is less than a 10 minute walk from his location and allowed me to use their Wi-Fi.
