A beautiful campsite that felt quite remote. Right by the Ice Age trail--we took a nice hike up past the Bald Bluff Trail.

Rustic site that was level and quiet. Great to chill by a campfire and watch and listen to nature. Highlight was spotting a white deer walk by.

Ice Age Forest Site "Red Cedar"
Great, secluded spot with plenty of room at each site set among the trees and small field. Owner was quick to respond as was some brief confusion on my part. I’m finding all of the HIPcamp spots have cool, but small signs you have to be on the lookout for…

Absolutely loved our stay on Chris's property. It was very relaxing. We camped in Big Aspen. Chris is a great host. He was very responsive to my texts. We will definitely be going back!

We tent camped at the big aspen space. It was great. There is a community toilet on site. Was very quiet and tucked away. There was firewood there to use though we bought our own we ended up using some. Close to ice age trail and trout farm. Went to Apple orchard barn winery and duesterhaus brewery. Would definitely stay there again.

I loved how beautiful and secluded Chris's land was! It was welcoming and all of the directions on Hipcamp were clear and accurate. I'm very grateful for the rustic toilet, fire pit set up, and overall sanctuary that this campground provided! I would totally stop again whenever I'm passing through. !

Visited Big Aspen this past weekend. Nice large site with partial shade; however, watch out for ant nests! With strategic placement of the tent and camp chairs, we were good. Site is well positioned a distance from the second site on the land. We appreciated having the composting toilet and water spigot accessible. Sawdust could use a refill in the toilet shelter. Only off element was communication with the host (no acknowledgement of 1st message when asking about firewood and dismissive response on the 2nd message when we thanked him for a pleasant stay). Would still recommend to people!

Beautiful spot! Very convenient for getting to the Emma Carlin and John Muir trails, and for a concert at Alpine Valley. Appreciated the water spigot, loved that it was clean, and my husband was inspired by the toilet w/sawdust system as a simpler alternative to a chemical toilet at his family's hunting shack. If you were hoping to be way out in remote wilderness, know that there is noise from the road, though you can't see it at all. Didn't bother us since we were there for the convenience to a few favorite places.

I liked how private it was even though there was houses all around pretty secluded with all the trees. It made me feel like I was alone even though hip camp says there's a couple other sites nearby I saw no sign of them but I'm sure they must be there most of the pictures on hit camp was of these site but I saw no signs of them not even the posted signs that talked about the trail don't know what to think about that. Though they must be there somewhere but I liked it if you're looking for something primitive like I was without anybody around at that time it was I had no neighbors and it's what this caregiver needed at the time to recoup thanks Chris

Really lovely, and secluded! The fresh water tap on site was a great touch. We walked about 15 minutes down the road to the Bald Bluff Nature trail, which I’d highly recommend!

Ice Age Forest Site "Big Aspen"
We loved this site. Visiting at the end of June, there were many, many butterflies and birds passing through. Around the perimeter of our site there were blackberries and mulberries.
We met the owner and he was very friendly and courteous.

If you're a mt. biker, the access to both John Muir & Emma Carlin trails couldn't be much more convenient. Bald Bluff hiking trail & Palmyra are minutes away too. Very accessible, yet secluded location. If you have the place to yourself, it's entirely private. It's basically a small grassy field surrounded by woods. Unfortunately, we didn't stay because of steady rain. The high grass was too wet to enjoy. I'll definitely go back. It's about the same price as the increasing cost of Pinewoods campground. However, it's very primitive, no picnic table which is mentioned in notes. Those who need a proper toilet may not find the tent set up ideal. But it is close enough to town...

This is a beautiful, secluded campsite with woods and meadow and choices of where to set up your tent. There's a water spigot very nearby. Very peaceful setting.

Chris' property is very nice, we enjoyed it very much. We did not want a busy campground, more of a secluded and peaceful experience. This campground is exactly that.

This was our first hip camp stay and boy did we pick a good one. We loved staying in this airstream! It was such a a unique experience and it was equipped with everything we needed. Having trails within walking distance was a huge plus as well. Definitely one of the coolest places we've ever stayed. The host Chris was also awesome with checking in on us via the app but the stay itself was super private.

Ice Age Forest Site "Big Aspen"
My family had the pleasure of being the first guests at this camp. It is truly beautiful and peaceful. There are two sites, one fits a small trailer nicely, the other would be tough to get an rv in but offers nice privacy. Both sites are lovely, with shade, sun and great open sky for stargazing. The access to miles of State Forest trails was wonderful. We hiked to the nearby trout farm where we picked up smoked trout and salmon, salmon jerky, and fresh trout fillets. We cooked the trout over the fire for a great camp dinner that night. You can even fish there, no license or equipment needed. We thought this was a really cool resource for this camp. Our hosts were hospitable and friendly. The water available on site was really nice tasting. We really loved this camp and will be staying again. I'm almost afraid when word gets out on this one we will have difficulty booking!
