Glamping Safari Tent on Creek #2
Great glamping spot for families
We enjoyed our stay at site 2. The tent is right by the steam and everything we needed was nearby. It was quiet when we were there and felt very private. We were able to try fishing and they were nice enough to set up a time to do s’mores for us. Our 3 year old also had a great time at the playground. We would highly recommend this spot for any families looking to do an easy outdoors weekend trip! We also appreciated being close to town to stop in for a coffee.

Group Camping along Creek #14
Great amenities and hospitality
Greg and Laurie were very nice and gave us a tour when we arrived. They always asked if we needed anything everytime we saw them. The group site #14 is nice and further away from the other sites. It's situated next to the creek. The site had 3 tiers since it was on the side of a hill. They also provide wagons for your use. Our campsite was nice because you could park your car next to the site. It was nice they had a playground and a nice grassy meadow in the middle. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. This place is great for families and their first camping experience.

Beautiful property with fun camping options. It was quite at night and the creek sounds were lovely to fall asleep to. Everything was just as advertised.

Glamping Safari Tent on Creek #2
My family and I came to camp nauvoo with some family friends and it was a remarkable experience. Our host Greg was so kind to us and the glamping tents were even more than what we expected. Although it was cold at night, Greg made sure our heater worked so we could stay warm. He also referred us to a lake nearby and we had so much fun. Overall it was a memorable experience and we had lots of fun!

Beautiful private camp sites
Greg was so helpful and kind. The sites were kept very clean as well as all the bathrooms and common areas. The site itself was beautiful and private. Greg set up a coal fire pit for the kids to roast marshmallows since we could not do wood burning pits. He even shut the lights off for a few minutes so we could see the amazing stars at night. I would highly recommend staying here.

Private. Clean. Camping with dog.
Lovely private campground with week kept bathrooms. Our site and our dog were nicely tucked away from other campers. Very attentive host- I even got a cake for my birthday!

A lovely experience
The creek was beautiful and soothing. My friends and I enjoyed our stay immensely, we’re planning to come back next summer. The staff we all extremely kind, the gave us a cupcake because it was a birthday trip. There was so much to do and experience at the campsite alone that we were inly able to fit a handful of the activities into our stay.

My husband and I had a great time just sitting down by the creek and relaxing. We went fishing and had stores by the campfire. Greg was a great host who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable!

#1Glamping Safari Tent on Creek
You must book here! Greg and the caretakers were so kind and helpful! The tent was clean and the beds were comfy. The creek and the watering hole were perfect for keeping cool and tons of activities for the kiddos.
Greg and Laurie were so accommodating to let me use the gazebo to set up my best friends proposal during our stay. Which it turned out perfect!
Our group had so much fun and we will be back next year!

Mini-Glamping Tent on Creek #9
Beautiful and well maintained campground. Everything you need is either provided, available for rent, or if all else fails the town is about 10 minutes away. The creek was so great to beat the heat!

Canvas Tent Creekside #4
3 night stay
The camp hosts were incredible, and the amenities were clean and many as compared to a typical camping experience. The bathrooms have no ADA stall and no gender inclusive options except a far away porta potty. No choice but for me to do all the toddler toileting because there was no space for that in the men’s bathroom. Not relaxing in that regard. If you’re fat like me, you’ll find the larger picnic tables more comfortable and seating elsewhere unacceptable. The owner is very accommodating and might be able to help with seating needs ahead of time. The cots in our canvas tent were flimsy and unsupportive. I recommend bringing an air mattress no matter your size. The campgrounds are in a beautiful setting, but the camp overall needs some repairs. Benches are unstable in common spaces, the kids playground is repaired with tape. It looks like it was super cool in its heyday! Now, it’s still naturally beautiful but outdated. The camp has a Native American theme, which is typical of the area, but problematic and cringey nonetheless. While the owner is friendly with people of all ages, he was shouty with kids when they broke rules that kids are bound to break. He also made a joke about my 2 year old getting undressed, and that made me uncomfortable. I prefer more professional interactions, but still found him friendly overall. As far as amenities and overall experiences go, I’d say it was a great trip. I found the overall value to be high and am excited for our return.

Wonderful Get Away
This place is worth the trip! Camp Nauvoo was exactly what we were looking for. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. My only regret is not staying longer! We will definitely be returning!

Greg was very welcoming and helpful. The facilities here (trolleys for taking camping gear to our site, toilets, showers and drinking water as well as waste disposal) we’re all very well-organised and good. It was lovely keeping cool by taking a dip in the creek and there was a nice trail up the mountain.

Glamping Safari Tent on Creek #2
Absolutely terrific experience. We loved the setting and interacting with the other campers. Really did feel like a family camp. We glamped in #2 and enjoyed the comfortable beds and convenient creek access right below our site.

#1Glamping Safari Tent on Creek
Wonderful time!
We had a great time “glamping” in Greg and Laurie’s land!! The place was clean, beautiful and filled with amenities. Greg was super welcoming, and both the hosts, Sean and Toby were super nice and helpful (they have a beautiful German shepherd too). My boys enjoyed: playing in the creek and catching crawfish (catch and release), catching salamanders and naming them, playing volleyball and ping pong, having s’mores, hiking around and swimming in the swimming hole! Wish we could’ve stayed longer. We stayed in one of the glamping tents, and we absolutely adored it. Bed was comfortable and the bunk beds worked well for my boys. Greg even bought my 10 year old a birthday cupcake. The lodge had microwave, Keurig coffee maker, a water kettle. They had board games and tables in the there (along with the ping pong table) Could not have asked for a more perfect place for my 10 year old to spend his birthday in! Thanks for everything! And we can’t wait to come back.

We had a wonderful experience at Greg & Laurie’s land. Kids loved playing in the river and catching clawfish. We were the only guest on the first day, but Greg and his team took great care for us. We stayed at Teepee #13 which was really nice. The bathroom and shower were clean, too.

Mini-Glamping Tent on Creek #9
Amazing location. Glamping tent is comfortable and situated next the the stream. There is a propane fire pit to keep you warm in the evening and a picnic table.
One thing to improve is the bed, one side has a large dip.

Family Bell Tent on Creek #12
Private but rocky surface
I have a mixed feelings regarding site #12. Surface is very rocky, we had a problem to secure our tents, because either we hit a sand or rock. We barely for two tents there. Plus is for an easy access to he river and privacy.

Family Bell Tent on Creek #12
Can't wait to return!
Our family had such a blast during our camping weekend at Camp Nauvoo. Honestly, we could not have hoped for a better time. The site we chose, number 12 was shady so we didn't get too hot during the day and was right on the creek so we hung up a hammock and just enjoyed watching the kids splash around looking for crawdads for two days straight. Greg was beyond accommodating and anytime we had questions he was easy to find. Periodically the kids wanted to go find him just to say hi or give him blackberries they would pick. I would 100% recommend staying at Camp Nauvoo. The location is great if you want to explore the area of Apple Hill but we enjoyed just taking it easy there our whole weekend. We found plenty to keep ourselves busy.

This place is a gem!!!
This place was just as cute in real life as the photos! This tippee number 3 tent is huge! Perfect for 2-4 people. We had sleeping mats, a night light, fresh sheets, towels, toiletry, and COFFEE!!! :) Greg and Laurie definitely thought things through when they opened this place up. There is another very detailed review that gives you a good idea of what this place is all about, I suggest reading the FAQ as well. I spent 3 nights here with my two boys 8 and 10. They cannot wait to come back to hang out with Greg. We really felt cared for here. Such a great vibe and we will be coming back every year and for longer! I think 5 nights would be perfect for us, it’s so relaxing here. I suggest booking for 3 nights if you can swing it. Check in is 💯 4-8pm so don’t try and rush. If you’re coming from the Bay Area, give yourself 4 hours because there will be car accidents and traffic unless you are lucky. Better to relax and not rush. Side note, American River which is about 30 mins from the camp, was such a fun time! Cold water but it’s nice and clear. You can rent boats/tubes and float down the river. It is a long adventure so be prepared for 3-4 hours.
We love you, Greg! And we look forward to meeting Laurie next time!

The campgrounds were amazing. Our kids had so much fun splashing in the creek and playing volleyball. Everything was clean and in working condition. The staff and the owners were onsite all the time and always willing to help.
We will definitely come back next year.
