Cost is related to accommodations for both the destination spot AND the on-site "glamping" experience (2019 Newmar Dutch Star- one can also see images on RVshare or we are happy to send them). However, standard rates for this area would apply should we approve your request to bring your own accommodations such as small trailer/pop-up/small camper van or even tent for FAMILY related getaway.. The property is spacious and former home site on beautiful Lake Tuscaloosa. There are full hookups (50 and 30 amp), sewer and water, and Wifi. There is lakefront access via your own personal boat dock, fire pits, and various seating areas. We recently added an outdoor building with washer and dryer, bathroom/changing room, outdoor shower AND a hot tub that overlooks the lake. There is a public boat launch just down the road along with lakefront restaurants and boat rental establishments nearby. There are multiple convenient stores, grocery stores, a Dollar General and even a hardware store just down the road. At this time, we are allowing guests to camp in our RV on-site (what we call "transient occupancy").
