Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
Dustin's land is absolutely beautiful. We camped at FF3 hollow (yurt), it was well secluded and has a waterfront. This was an amazing experience! Only downfall I would warn future guests is, there is a hike down to the camp sites. As someone not in shape, it took my breath away each time we had to hike back up to the parking area. We will most definitely return but we will not be camping at the bottom of the hill next time.

1 night at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake
Perfect little location for some fall trees and a little getaway. The cabin had everything I needed with the extra bonus of the personal hot tub! Instructions about everything in the cabin were very easy to follow. I also appreciated how this one felt a little more secluded than some of the neighbors!

Amazing time at the location. Very peaceful. We enjoyed the kayaks on the lake. Great option to just get away from the city. We didn’t bring any food; local options were amazing!

Our yurt was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable, and our campsite was secluded.

We had an amazing time camping here! It was a wonderful and new experience for both of us — being without clothes truly helped us connect with nature in a beautiful way. Dustin was so kind and welcoming the entire time, and everyone there made us feel like part of a big family. We will definitely be coming back!

Tent
I always look forward to my Parksland trips! This was the first time I did yurt camping and the bed was so comfy!
They were hosting a Fall Equinox Celebration, so there were plenty of fun activities included like morning yoga, a bonfire, a sauna session, and a cacao drink ceremony by the fire. The shower was so relaxing!
Tip: Just remember, if you haul something down the hill, you have to haul it back up.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
I have stayed at Parksland before. This was my first time staying in the cabin. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The cabin was cozy, although we spent most of our time at the camp center listening to music and enjoying the sauna. The trail from the parking spot to the cabin is relatively short, so it doesn't take you long to get your stuff there. Everyone, from the host to the other guests, was very friendly. We packed our own battery-operated fans, which is something I'd recommend during the warmer months. The cabin to the swimming hole has very direct access as well. You'll enjoy any of the sites on the land, but if you need something enclosed, the cabin works for that. Very welcoming location all around. Anyone who doesn't emphasize love and respect likely wouldn't be allowed back by the host.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
Just the kind of chill weekend I was looking for. Definitely be prepared to see the nude human form and to climb lots of hills.
Just the fact that I could show up and not have to set up my own tent and it had a simple but comfortable bed was super nice.
Also met a lot of nice folks some of whom are regular guests. I will be making a trip back next time I need to recharge.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
I spent the weekend at FF1 after reading the website and knew it was right for me. First off, Dustin Parks is a genuine, welcoming guy who makes everyone feel at home. But what he’s created is so much more than just campsites in the woods it’s a true sanctuary to unplug, be free, and connect.
Deep in the forest, you can camp privately or meet others in common areas. It’s very clothing-optional I fully embraced it and found it freeing and equalizing. No judgment, just real conversations and acceptance.
Dustin has built an experience an enchanted forest with creeks, swimming holes, and trails where you can feel nature’s energy as intended. I met amazing people within an hour and made real friends. I packed light just food, drinks, and basics everything else was ready.
Be prepared: it’s on a mountain, with steep paths to campsites, so you’ll get a workout! The only downside was leaving and putting clothes back on I felt like I was leaving a piece of freedom behind.
Dustin didn’t just create a getaway he built a place to remember what really matters: people, nature, and kindness. I’ll be back and will support ParksLand Retreat however I can. Go careless, go open-minded, and feel free.
