FAQs
common questions from campers
What does Hammock Sway offer?
Hammock Sway offers a property for those looking for an off grid private camping experience including: free range camping, RV parking, campsites for groups or Camp along the river. You don’t pay for a spot. You pay for peace and quiet.
Do you allow RVs & campers?
Yes, I allow RVs and campers. However, because this is an off-grid camping area, please keep in mind that there are no waterline or power hookups for RVs and campers.
Do you have power or water?
No. We don’t have power as we are an off grid facility. The main cabin does have a solar power setup so power is available for emergencies. The main cabin also has filtered water pumped from the Rocky River.
Can you have campfires?
Absolutely. We have fire pits located around the property. If you camp in a location away from a fire pit, you can still have a private fire, provided you clear an area and create a rock fire ring. Firewood is available for $10 an “armload” consisting of local cedar, hickory, and pine. Please use your brain when building and maintaining a campfire. All fires must be extinguished before turning in for the night or leaving the campsite.
Do you have restrooms?
There are no restrooms on the property.
Are dogs allowed at the campground?
Yes! We encourage you to bring your dogs. We ask that you keep your dogs on a leash for the first 2 hours after arrival. Use that time to walk the property, perhaps as you find your perfect spot, and let the current dogs get comfortable with your dog so they can eventually all be off leash. There is a $10 fee per dog per night for the entire stay. Some restrictions apply and at any point you may be required to keep your dog on a leash. Please pickup after your pets! Bring bags.
Do kids camp free?
Yes! Children age 12 and under camp for free.
