I loved this staying here! We had our 8 month old with us and we were able to get the feeling of camping with the convenience of having a safe indoor area for her. And I loved that even though we were out and away from everything, it was still only a 10 minute drive to the store! It was perfect!

Great experience! There were no stores nearby, so bring your water/snacks. Also, bring some chairs if you want to spend time outside your tent. The bed was comfortable, and the staff were wonderful.

The tents are nice including beds. The remainder is disgusting and for the money paid we felt ripped off. Toilets and so showers are dirty and every other camp site has more convenient. The entire property is without any development. Just rough, dusty land. Any facility is improvised and of lowest quality. Calling this glamping and requesting this amount of money is a tourist trap. Do not go there.

The property was nice overall. The staff were very nice snd very cooperative. The tents were nice and cozy. There is just one thing that beeds to be inproved is the number of bugs in the tent. There were like a 3 dozen spiders so need to do somethig avout that. The bedding was great. The tents were spacious. There was nice common bonfire area for everyone to sit and chat and do different activities which was very nice. The bathrooms were well maintained and there was abundant hot water for showers as well. The location was also nice and close to shopping areas maybe a 8 to 10 minute drive All in all i would rate the experience at 4 out of 5.

Charming. Very clean. Mattresses felt brand new and so comfy. There was so much going on and things to do at the campground, my kids never once complained about the lack of electronic use. Of our 8 day road trip, this was our very favorite night.

Avoid at All Costs – A Nightmare Stay for Families

We booked 3 nights. We left after 1. That should tell you everything. This place is a disaster if you're looking for a relaxing family getaway. It’s not worth your money, your time, or your sanity. Here’s why: * Misleading Photos: What you see online is not what you get. The tent looked clean and cozy in the pictures — in reality, it was worn down and far from spotless. * Filthy Bathrooms: Only one working toilet in the morning, and the floor was disgusting. Not what you want to deal with on vacation. * Severely Underequipped: They don’t tell you this, but there are only a handful of bathrooms for the entire camp. Expect long waits and no hot water depending on the time as it may run out . * Freezing Cold at Night: The bed was warm, but the tent? Ice box. Gaps in the wooden floor and open tent edges let in freezing air all night. I’ve had better insulation in a $50 camping tent. * Bugs Galore: Because the tent isn’t sealed properly, we had spiders crawling in all night. We killed at least five — and found more. If you hate bugs, run. *Highway Noise All Night: The place is right next to a busy highway. So instead of peace and quiet, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of traffic. Not exactly a “retreat”. We tried to cancel the moment we arrived and saw the reality. No luck. We gave it a shot, but after one miserable night, we packed up and left. Bottom line: This place is all style, no substance. If you value comfort, cleanliness, and piece of mind — look elsewhere.
