Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
FF3 is situated a comfortable distance into the forest, and has you overlooking the creek. Which means you are lulled to sleep by the sound of the water, and woken by the sounds of the birds! We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, and serene escape for our weekend! Dusty has created a beautiful oasis in the forest, and we are lucky that he shares his amazing space! Cell service is extremely limited, giving you the opportunity to truly unplug from the world! I can't wait to go back!

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.
