1 night at Endor Nature Camp

Our plans unfortunately changed and we were unable to stay at the Bunker. The host, Kate, was a great communicator and was understanding of our predicament. We look forward to staying another time, looks like a lovely spot with beautiful surrounds. Thanks again Kate - all the best :))

Weekend Trip to Endor Nature Camp

My partner and I loved staying at Endor Nature Camp! It was so cozy and beautiful to be sleeping amongst the trees, looking out at the mountains, and listening to the sounds of nature as the sun went down. Even in the rain, the little bunker held up wonderfully. Kate was so patient, welcoming, and friendly with us. She left us pamphlets about walks and places to eat nearby, torches (that really came in handy!), some sweet treats, and more! We’re definitely planning on coming back.. hopefully in the snowy wintertime! All the best, Remi and Will
