    Glamping is still camping—need to hike to bathrooms

    Having to walk quite a distance to the bathroom Having to zip up the tent every time we leave Having to charge our phones and power banks in the lobby Breakfast offering has too much carb Nobody talks to anybody else outside of their own circle, if you’re alone you’re out of luck even in the common areas Patrons mostly white, makes being non-white an isolated experience

    Awesome staff Comfortable bed Beautiful and natural campsite Tent is sturdy against rain and strong wind Rain on our tent makes sleeping sound Being able to build our own fire and sit around it Free smores kit

    I’m really glad I somehow booked during a quiet time! There are around 20 tents, and a food truck and music space that are open to the public. This place is prepared for a real crowd! The quiet I enjoyed—including the raucous frog chorus!—was heavenly.

    Cute, cozy, beautifully appointed, but most importantly: amazing staff. Sam in particular kicked off the welcoming feeling at check in and anyone else I encountered was equally warm and kind. Almost more of a bnb feel.. without all the kitsch.

    Wish the bathrooms were a little closer.

    They really have thought of everything. Tents were clean and convenient. Group areas were clean and rustic yet modern and kept up with well. Breakfast was lovely. Options at the bar were plentiful. Staff extremely helpful.

    If the chipmunk stayed off our tent at night, would have been great!! Tent pathways could have used a bit more low level lighting.

    Multiple firepower-good vibes!! Comfy bed! Games and live music. Bar! Staff was friendly and helpful.

    We have no complaints. It was really a great stay but since you asked the question I would say that the staff are mostly college students and don't have the ability to be decisive or have authority in making decisions. We had an issue on check in and the one manager was on vacation and the other sick. It seemed like a simple fix but the staff, while very friendly, was unable to make decisions. Fortunately, the manager did respond promptly and the matter was handled.

    Campground is beautifully maintained and amenities (boardgames, tea/coffee, cash bar, firepits, breakfast and small camp store) were fantastic. We really enjoyed every moment of our stay.

    There was nothing I didn’t like. But as far as comments: I think I would’ve liked a few more food/ drink/amenities for sale. My husband and I don’t drink alcohol, so it would be nice to see perhaps a small menu of drinks? It may have been nice to be able to determine who was on the staff -not uniforms, but just something. I think if reservations made through Booking.com etc are that hard to manage it shouldn’t be an option.

    Having the reception area in the large tent all open made a huge difference! We loved the music playing there. What a relief the bathrooms were awesome! Having the hiking path accessible was perfect. We appreciate keeping car traffic to the parking lot only.
