There are 10 acres nature timber area that keep you away from the other campers and rest of the world. Each site has a firepit, picnic table and a solar light .

Hope you will find joy, peace and happiness in this wonderful piece of natural land and the Red Rock lake areas. A little history of this land: This 40 acres of land was a surface mining site. The reclamation works done during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who have Master's and PhD in soil and environment health background, bought this land several years ago and started to restore the vegetation. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds and tall grass... The site is totally different from what the Google map shows now.

Gorgeous views! Great host!

Camping on Anna’s property was amazing! Site offers views in every direction! Views of water, and abundance of birds of all kinds even a bald eagle flying over head! Convenient location to boot!

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome

Cozy and delightful

Very cozy with extra amenities I wasn’t expecting. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, it was a great little escape to play some games, and stay warm with the wood stove. We are already looking forward to booking again.

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome

Peaceful and hospitable! We loved our stay! It was close enough to town to run in and grab a bite or a necessity. Hosts were quick to respond to questions and gave lots of recommendations for nearby restaurants. Most importantly, my dogs loved it! Great stay!

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome

10/10 - will return soon!

My partner and I absolutely loved ‘glamping’ in Anna’s dome! We were the only campers on the campground the two days that we were there but the dome has quite a lot of space away from the other sites so it wouldn’t have mattered otherwise. We were surprised by so many materials that were already provided on the site. As a previous review stated, you could arrive missing a few things and be just fine! I was a bit hesitant about the compost toilet but it is very clean. The campground is very quiet and the view is beautiful. It is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. I’ve recommended it to multiple people and am so excited to return.

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome

My partner and I enjoyed our stay in the dome tent. The bed was comfy and we thought the fireplace was a lovely touch. Our favorite part was stargazing. It was beautiful!
