Weekend Trip to Glamping at Oak Mountain

We loved glamping at OMSP. Sarah’s tent was great and she was a very responsive host. The second night we lost power because a tree downed a power line. Some of our group said they prefer primitive camping so they were loving the power outage. We did the hike to the Peavine Falls. We skipped the 6 mile trails before and drove straight to the parking lot at the end of Terrace and you can take the blue or white trail. When you see two benches, follow that trail to the falls. There is so much to do. We look forward to going again.

This place is a hidden gem!! My fiancé and I had a kid-free weekend and were looking for some tent camping that was a little more secluded but still had some amenities so we weren't totally roughing it😅 Mary and her husband were so friendly and accommodating! We stayed at the Shop spot and had everything we needed! Their farm is beautiful and had all sorts of hiking paths! We ventered down to the creek on the property and had a picnic and it was absolutely perfect! We will definitely be coming back and with the kids next time!
