Family-friendly glamping near Ohatchee

This was our 5th stay. This is our favorite place to unplug. Throw electronics in the car, light a fire and just listen to the world around you and forget about the day to day for a bit.

Wonderful experience! Dustin has created a truly special place and he is a friendly and engaging host. The natural landscape is stunning. The (clean!) amenities blend in seamlessly and don't take away from the natural feel. The campsites are far enough apart to make you feel like you have your own little space but close enough to interact with your neighbors if you choose. Everyone who found their way here was so friendly and welcoming. There is also a communal aspect with the group campfire and group sauna on certain nights. 10/10 and will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Exceeds expectations. A wonderland of peaceful nature. We came on a slow weekend so it was just us and two other campers which meant we had the perfect blend of privacy with occasional socializing! Gorgeous land, incredible buildings and a wonderful kind host. The river view from the bell tent combined with the nice touches like towels and furniture inside made it a truly glamping experience.

I highly recommend Bohemia. Within 10 days I stayed there twice. I stayed in one of the A-frames. It is a great glamping experience. They have an experience. They have an online shop where you can order firewood, s’mores , ice , and bug spray. When I first got there, I got out my kayak and I went out on their pond. My second time there I explored their trails. There’s a beautiful dam with a waterfall on the yellow trail. There was a thunderstorm while I was there, and I felt quite safe and cozy in my little A-frame. Leigh who runs the grounds is fantastic and truly welcoming. It truly is a peaceful place to be in nature and reconnect. The bathrooms and the shower stalls were very well kept and cleaned daily. 5 ⭐️ from me. I will be back!

Another magical stay at Parksland! We’ll definitely be back again (& again!) The bell tent was so cozy and comfortable! They have thought of everything! Highly recommend FF3 - we fell asleep to the sounds of the creek. And definitely don't miss the sauna on Saturdays at sundown for the ultimate unwind. Parksland is our favorite getaway and we are so grateful to Dusty sharing his slice of paradise with us!

There's no better way to reconnect with nature than at Parksland. Such a cool place and it just keeps getting better and better! Loved the greenhouse shower and the yurts were the perfect blend between primitive and comfort for a quick stay. Dustin had a social fire while we were there Friday night and it was great getting to connect with all who were staying there. Next time we plan to make a weekend trip of it so that we can take advantage of the Saturday sauna as well. Would recommend a quick hike over to the blue hole waterfalls and swimming hole. The water was delightful and all the creeks and swimming holes are filled with shale that has been perfectly crafted by mother nature for achieving your personal best rock skip. Can't wait to return and will continue to spread the good news of Parksland.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

Molly

Everything was simply perfect! We can't wait to come back! :)

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.

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!

Dusty

Amazing weekend stay. This was exactly what we were looking for. Plan to return soon. The views were awesome and we had everything we needed.

Michael

Great people and beautiful land. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Beautiful piece of land to explore with miles of trails and access to a large pond, Lake, and river with waterfall. Very comfortable glamping experience with friendly service. Campground and facilities were very clean and well kept. Great for a long weekend trip.

This place does NOT suck! ;-) 100/10 recommend you stay here if you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere to meet new people and find your inner peace. You can even take a short hike to the Blue Hole and do some cliff jumping or just relax by the waterfall! We borrowed some of the Parksland towels to dry off after a quick dip in the icy waters above the falls. Dustin and Emily were so welcoming and most gracious hosts. We got to experience the new hot tub and wood fire sauna which were all made by Dustin. And I mean it when I say it was the best sauna I have ever been in. And don’t skip the glorious Rain Showers in the Herb shower. ❤️ The whole Parksland space offers you opportunities to explore nature with or without your clothes. For me, that was the best part and really makes this place stand out! Nothing but mutual respect for everyone in the space. I think this is my new favorite spot in Alabama!
