It has potential

We came to hike and that we did. The property itself could use a little help. I would say this is an ok place if you don't plan on spending time at the camper or using after dark. It was a cold when we arrived and had trouble with the lock due to the outdoor temp being 40ish. There are no lights outside of the camper and had to use the truck to shine lights to get everything functioning. Communication with the owner was hard, she did respond to email but it was hours after our outreach. (a contact phone number would of been nice if there are issues) The second night we had no water, it did appear someone came while we were away on Saturday, possibly to check after the lock situation. They had changed the hose and it was not reattached properly. We opted not to try and fix because of the risk to someone else property. *outdoor strand lights *you need to bring firewood *no stove There is a lot of potential for this little place and wish we could have enjoyed it a bit more.
