It was so peaceful and quiet. My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary at starlight haven and it was so relaxing. Everything was so clean and the tent was the cutest thing. We had a good time and the host were just as great as everything else. They were very prompt to answering any questions we had. All around, I'd rate them stars 🌟

Weekend Trip to Glamping at Cheaha State Park

We brought our 4 kids for their first camping trip and it was such a fun time. This is the ultimate “glamping” experience. There is so much to love about this location! The different hiking trails and waterfalls were simply beautiful. I have nothing negative to share. This was a great idea for our family. The staff at the park were so kind. Thank you Timberland & Hipcamp for suggesting this adventure.

2 nights at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake

Beautiful glamping experience! Stayed here for New Years Eve in one of the safari tents, #11, Pecan, was away from the ground & had 2 egg chairs, a hot tub & grill outside. Inside was a beautiful, soft, full-size bed, as well as 2 extra blankets & a strong heater, a white porcelain tub with a removable shower-head, thick, large, plush white towels, then in the kitchen, a Keurig, with basic plate-ware, mini fridge, microwave, as well as a little eating area. There’s also a large TV & the board game, Scrabble. Things to keep in mind: this is still “glamping”; light is limited after dark both outside & inside the tent; the water in the tub wasn’t hot; lukewarm at best. Pro-tip: for an easy dinner option, we got hot dogs, baked beans & chips at the Ingles, about 20 minutes away & heated in microwave. It felt like a romantic and unique experience, overall. The Weiss Lake glistens. We got to visit Mentone, AL during the day to see the hippie/art culture scene there, super cool. Didn’t get a chance to meet anyone while glamping, but the privacy was nice & appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Bohamia was a great experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to have a base camp for experiencing the Talladega National Forest. Leigh was friendly, the restrooms and bath house were extremely clean, and the family tent was luxurious.
