Great time glamping

I stayed at Big Rock Creek with my two young daughters after a day kayaking on the river. It was so nice to have a campsite waiting for us after paddling all day. I loved everything about the campsite. It had comfortable beds, electricity, a grill and a clean toilet and shower just steps away. This is camping at its best! I did have difficulty reaching staff when we had an issue with the grill, but I would stay here again. The beds were so comfortable!

Weekend getaway

Great time in the Lovers Lookout 3 glamping tent! The property is great with lots to do for my kids and we had live music on Friday night where we joined the music and ate dinner then went to the tent for the rest of the concert and enjoyed it while we had a campfire in the Solo stove! Perfect weekend.

Easy, relaxing getaway

Awesome, big, varied property with very nice staff. The glamping tents were cozy and equipped with fairy lights and electricity. Cooking on the grill was easy (bring charcoal/lighter fluid) Walking trails were nice as was the small lake. Note that this is a family-focused place with bouncy house, colored lights at night, etc. If you want dark, secluded camping, this is not your place. Definitely recommend for folks who aren’t sure about camping - glamping is a good first step!
