  Had a blast glamping! The tent was perfect. When we arrived to our camp site, we were welcomed with a personalized sign so we knew we were in the right place. The mini fridge and freezer were perfect for our family of 4 for the weekend. The weekend we went was the first cooler weekend and the heater inside the tent was exactly what we needed in the evening. The beds were so comfortable. We all got a great night sleep. The bathrooms were very close and clean. I happened to bring my essential oils to keep away the bugs and was pleasantly surprised to see a diffuser. I brought a lot of flashlights not knowing the lighting situation. None were really needed. I may just bring one next time. The trails were perfect for the kids. There were a couple of parks close by they enjoyed and the Park Rangers had set up cute arts and crafts that was a nice surprise at one of the parks. The concession store had some free printouts for the kids which again was unexpected and so nice for the kids to do at night while we prepped dinner. There is a washer and dryer attached to the bathroom location and a sink to wash dishes if needed. We did not use either of these, but nice it was there.
  
  A couple things we will remember for next time. The maps are a tad tricky to read. We didn't know where we were on the map when we arrived. We followed the roads until we saw the sign for campers. It was farther out than we expected so we worried we were not going in the right direction for a few minutes. It was easy to find though once we got our bearings. Firewood for purchase has to be cash in exact change on location ($8). There is a new very clean Publix with larger bundles of wood a few miles away. We happened to have a fantastic group of people camping/ glamping all around. If they were not so great, it may have affected our weekend because the camp sites are relatively close to each other. I think this is the perfect setup for multiple groups going together.
  
  We will definitely be back. It was a lovely first time glamping experience. They thought of everything to make it feel like camping without the fuss.

  What an amazing mini getaway. My co-worker told me about this place and booked a tent for my husband's birthday. Everything was perfect and every comfort and detail was well thought of. The tents came with AC, had an extremely comfortable bed, ceiling fan, a small fridge, some games, fire pit and a Keurig machine with pods. We grilled burgers and made breakfast on the grill provided. The best part was that we could bring our dog to enjoy it with us. There's also a dedicated bathroom/shower area so bring your own towel, flip flops, toiletries, etc. Overall, one of the best glamping experiences! Can't wait to go back!

  Loved! Came with family including two small children. Had so much fun exploring the park. The camp site is great! Every little detail was thought of and has really been a great experience. Added on the options of giant jenga and cornhole which were both great decisions. Bring firewood with you other than that you’re good to go! We will definitely be back

  We had a relaxing, stress-free getaway. All comforts were thought of from the air conditioner and hammocks to the mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker. Everything was fresh and clean. Thanks, we’ll definitely be back!
