We would stay here time and time again. I love that we got the camping experience without all the stress of packing/setting up/putting away camp gear! The beds and linens were so comfortable. Staff was super nice and even got a fire going after a big storm. Loved it and wk recommend to all our friends!

Tent and beds were great! Really enjoyed the atmosphere! Met great people at the campfire! The bathroom and shower trailer accommodations were subpar and not sufficient for the amount of people staying. 2 out of 3 shower attempts there was no hot water. These were not during peak times (one late at night and one early morning). Improve these accommodations and its a 5star!!!

Family teepee was a good size, clean and well stocked with blankets. Staff was great and the bonfire with smores was fun. Cornhole, tether ball and swings were fun. Restrooms and showers were clean and there were a good number of them. Great experience!

Great blend of roughing it & glamping

This stay was almost as good as it could be for what it is - creature comfort mixed with an actual camping experience. We got a safari tent for our family of 5. Cons: Toilet trailers were busy and at times overflowing (staff did address). Dirt roads were extremely bumpy and need filled. Pros: A great camping experience with less work. The beds were super comfy and solar power to charge phones is great. Feeling off off grid without losing main comforts major plus. We only stayed one night but I have 0 regrets on our choice and we camp both in our camper and plenty of tent camping experience.

We paid for gas heater due to temp getting down to mid 30's and the gas tank they brought was maybe half full, and the gas ran out at 2 AM and we packed up to leave due to being cold and accdently left some of our stuff, as the solar lights were dim and it was hard to see. We called and asked about our stuff and they said they never found it

Terrible property.

Bathrooms are horrible. There is no way we can use the bathrooms. Water is super cold in bathrooms. There is no electricity in the property. Campfire closes even before it. Is dark. Tents are super cold. My whole family had to wear thick jackets even while sleeping.

There was an unexpected snow fall in the area and when we got there the property was a muddy mess and all the teepees were covered in snow. We checked in and went to our teepee and it was caved in from the snow and leaking, then we were offered another tent and it was leaking and wet as well. We even had to use the ice scraper we had in our vehicle to get the snow scraped off enough to get into the teepee. It didn’t look like any attempt had been made to clean up the property after the snowfall. We weee also told we would have to pay to rent a propane heater to try to keep warm. When we went back and said this was unacceptable they would only give us half our money back!! We also had to find another place to stay at the last minute. I feel like since the property was uninhabitable we should not have had to pay anything and gotten a total refund. I wish I would have taken photos but I guess I was just too shocked and upset at the time.

We stayed in a family Bell tent and it was awesome, best beds of our 19 days of travel. Star gazing through the ceiling windows, flowers out the front door. The community fire gave us connection & conversations plus s’mores, delightful. Thank you staff.

Loved staying here. It was hella fun for my kids and the area was amazing. The bathrooms kept having issues and the showers could use an upgrade. Over all we are grateful we had a place to rinse off. Bed was cozy. Provided towels, and extra battery for Charging. Coffee tastes like water. Loved the experience! Staff was great!
