Weekend Trip to Barker Gap

Camping as it should be! Great location, easy to find, friendly hosts and gorgeous area! Will stay here again!!!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Pines

What a peaceful place! I loved parking near the small lake with a view of the little island. I sat by the firepit and enjoyed some journaling and reading while I had my coffee. And my walk around the lake at dusk was just lovely. I love all the lights around the property; they create such a nice ambiance. I would recommend this campsite for sure. OR one of their treehouses or tiny houses in the same area.

5 nights at Barker Gap

I loved the campground was quiet and very nice set up with full hook ups. Plus easy access to buckhorn trails. Will be camping there again.

Weekend Trip to Barker Gap

We loved camping here. Very peaceful there and 100% loved it. We love having full hook ups also. We ended up leaving a couple days early because I became ill. But had nothing to do with the campground. We loved that we could explore buckhorn trails plus we took in some local history around there in our truck. We will return again.

2 nights at Sacred Pines

My dog and I had a great visit to Sacred Pines. We met and visited with Miranda after returning from a walk. She, as well as the other campers were all very friendly. The waterfront campsite was quiet and beautiful. I loved waking up to the sound of all the birds each morning. The campsite was spacious with significant space from the tiny houses and cabins. The bathhouse was very convenient to the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village

Vick’s cabin was perfect for our last official “mom’s weekend”. We loved the fire pit and the coziness of the cabin. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village

Our stay at Vick’s cozy cabin was perfect. The place was exceptionally clean and very comfy. We had no issues with getting hot water even while it was very cold out. The oven worked great and the whole kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. My boyfriend (who is 6’4) were pleasantly surprised at how comfy the bed was, we slept great during out two night stay! Extra kudos for allowing pets, our pups absolutely loved this place as well. The screened in porch was the cherry on top for us and where we spent most of our time since the weather was dreary. A+ to Vick for being helpful and a genuinely kind host.

4 nights at Bug Tussle Ridge

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin in Arkansas. The setting was beautifully rustic, and the view from the property was so pretty. During our stay, we experienced 8ish inches of snow, which only added to the charm. We loved romping in the snow with our dogs. We were delighted to see deer in the adjacent field and even sleeping in the front yard! The cabin was quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect escape. We especially loved the wood-burning fireplaces, which kept us warm and created a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed to cook our meals. While there wasn’t a laundry setup, it wasn’t an issue for us. While we pack our own coffee setup- we appreciated that they had coffee and filters along with a little countertop basket that had everything from popcorn to oatmeal. The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive. They checked in on us during the snow showers, made sure we had plenty of firewood, and reassured us that they were available if we needed anything. The Wi-Fi worked well throughout our stay, allowing us to stream content and relax after a day in the snow. Overall, this cabin was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. We highly recommend it for anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway!

3 nights at Lake Wilson Retreat 🌲

It was the perfect getaway for me. It's very private and peaceful. Everything was easy and clear.

4 nights at Tin Top Village

We loved our stay at the Country Cabin! Location is great - close to grocery stores & restaurants. The cabin is the coziest! It has all the essentials for cooking your own meals. It was such a plus being able to bring our pets with us - they had a great time too. The loft is definitely more suited for children or adults under 5ft. You have to crouch down up there and watch your head! This location is really great and close to nearby outdoor activities. It’s such a plus being able to go out exploring and coming back to a hot shower!

Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village

Daughter & I wanted to get away for a few days to rest & reset. Couldn’t have picked a better place. Very clean, cozy & private. Beautiful, beautiful area. Found an amazing waterfall at superior lake. Despite the rain off and on the whole time we still cooked over the fire pit grill, did campfires, even ended up extending out stay an extra day. 10/10 recommend.

It was perfect for us passing through town. We always love pet friendly places. It was very clean and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Pines

Our tent site was nothing short of stunning. We pulled in late at night and had no issue finding our way around or feeling comfortable. The scenery is stunning and the amenities were clean and taken care of. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Barker Gap

Beautiful place and met Brian. Offered any help needed and even gave me a cigar for a later campfire. Easy access and will definitely be back.

4 nights at Barker Gap

Barker Gap LLC was exactly what we needed for a weekend escape! It’s a smaller campground but that’s what makes it so great. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful and absolutely gorgeous. Brian and his family were such gracious hosts. He met us when we got there and made sure we were good all weekend. He really takes special care of Barker Gap and I’m excited to see what else he has planned. The trail access is almost directly across from the entrance of Barker Gap. And the trails were great. We went to the Natural Dam too! (We didn’t take the RZR’s but we saw other people who did. We didn’t want to chance it.) We will definitely be going back to Barker Gap!

2 nights at Tin Top Village

Weekend Trip to Barker Gap

This place is so nice! The cabin is clean, comfy, and inviting! The property is very well maintained and so pretty! There is plenty of space for several guests yet still private enough to enjoy your own space. The Buckhorn trails are close and easily accessible. The Cub Cabin is fun! It’s a great size for a small family! It is perfect for our family of 4. The beds and bedding are comfy, the shower is great, and we loved the hanging hammock chair! There’s a small fridge, microwave, and keurig coffee maker. There’s extra chairs you can get out and use, a folding cot, or just relax on the bed. There’s outside grilling/sitting area is comfortable and inviting! Dad grilled hot dogs on the provided grill, the kids enjoyed playing, and mom relaxed and supervised! Perfect place for a little family get-away!
