Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

My wife and I have been searching for a local campsite that meets our needs to reconnect with nature while not having to go too far in central Alabama. Parklands Retreat met and exceeded those expectations. The scenery is wonderful, as is the hiking around the campsite. The swimming hole was excellent, and so was the general vibe of the campsite. Social night on Friday and sauna on Saturday made a good weekend retreat GREAT as we could connect with likeminded individuals. We didn't get to do the waterfall, unfortunately, but that gives us an excellent reason to come back! Best of all was Dustin's hospitality that made us, and generally the entire park, welcomed to be there. The clothing optional portion was celebrated here fully. But if you don't feel the need to partake then the vibe is completely fine. We didn't feel uncomfortable in our birthday suit as mostly anyone else. Dustin certainly has made this place a great environment for all. We can't wait to come back later this year as we already have the next trip in mind in the fall.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Wonderful place in a beautiful, scenic location. Extremely well kept. Plenty of comfortable amenities: showers, sinks, etc. We had a bell tent site and it was very nice! Lounge areas, a sauna, swimming all available. Almost magical how you can go there and feel part of a community and yet completely away from it all at the same time. Would very highly recommend to anyone thinking about going!

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

So beautiful! Bath house was superb. Hiking and views were fantastic. Great service delivery to the site!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

I recently spent a weekend at this Hipcamp site, and it was a full house—every spot booked, which created a communal atmosphere. The highlight was gathering in the new, futuristic sauna, a perfect setting to unwind and connect with likeminded folks. Due to the popularity, I tried a new site this time, as my usual spots were taken. I pitched my tent on a well-constructed platform equipped with thoughtfully placed hooks, making it easy to secure my setup. The attention to detail here, especially by Dustin, who seems to anticipate campers’ needs, enhanced the experience. One thing to note: the nearby cabin overlooks this site. While it didn’t bother me—everyone I’ve met here has been friendly and respectful—it’s something to consider. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The combination of a welcoming community, smart site design, and relaxing amenities like the sauna makes this a spot I’d happily return to

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Our hosts, Dustin and Emily are awesome! Dustin greeted us with a smile, upon arrival! Gave us a tour and explained the cool showers, sauna and composting toilet. We stayed in the Sunrise Cabin, C1. It was clean and really nice! I cooked dinner in the cast iron and built a nice fire. We thoroughly enjoyed playing in the crystal clear stream down the hill, in the buff! What a fantastic feeling of freedom and peace! Beautiful, lush, green forest full of birds! We had a great time! Made lifelong memories and departed with grins on our faces, rejuvenated and looking forward to our next visit!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Wonderful hosts, beautiful surroundings. Great place to just get away from the world for a short time. A place to enjoy the peace and serenity of the woods. Will be back again and and again.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

My partner and I absolutely love staying at Parksland! It's the perfect place to disconnect from society, and reconnect with nature, while in the company of the most wonderful people! Dustin, and Emily have created a paradise that they share with others!! Thank you Dustin, and Emily!!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Dustin was an incredibly kind host! We arrived quite late and left early in the morning so unfortunately we didn’t get to partake in so many of the incredible offerings at this space~ like the Epsom bath soak!! This land is so beautiful and you can tell a lot of love has been poured into this space. The structures are gorgeous and the sustainability practices make this place even more special. The river is so beautiful! And so many lovely ferns greeting you with each step you take. I will for sure come back here in the future! As a queer person~ I felt really safe here! My kiddo and I are both neurodivergent and we smiled when we saw the flag flying that speaks to neurodivergent minds being beautiful! This is definitely a safe space!💗 Thanks so much Dustin!

Dustin was a wonderful host. He showed us all around the property and was very welcoming. The property is beautiful. The tent was very clean and the sound of the stream was very relaxing at night. Definitely five out of five stars.

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

This was my second time at Bohemia. First, was for Birmingham’s first music and arts festival called Awakenus. And I couldn’t wait to return. This place is simply magical. We hiked to the waterfall, took a long swim in the refreshing water, swam in the spring fed lake, kayaked, fished, and stargazed in the two nights we stayed. Leigh was awesome! She greeted us at check-in and was delightful to talk to. I highly recommend planning a trip here. The campsites are spacious and each has a picnic table, fire pit and plenty of space between them. A friendly reminder to leave no trace :)

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

This was our second trip to Parksland and staying again in the C1 Cabin. It was even more magical than the first time! The hosts are wonderful souls and this place of peace is just a really lucky find. The cabin itself is secluded, yet close enough to amenities to be convenient. We love sitting on the porch and enjoying a quiet sunrise coffee. We think you will too! Highly recommend!

3 nights at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

We had such an amazing trip! Very quiet and peaceful! The pond was stocked with fish and had lots of fun catching fish. Leigh and the other workers were very helpful and quick to respond and deliver supplies!

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Absolutely amazing service! The host was super friendly. This place was beautiful better than I imagined. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend it.

1 night at Tack Tavern Ranch

Super fun ranch to hit on a road trip. Lorna took good care of us and the dogs were adorable.

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Bohamia was a great overnight pit stop! This track of land is amazing! Make sure you take the trail(s); they are state park worthy! And the caretaker was quite nice, as were the facilities.
