2 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

We had an amazing time. The weather was perfect. We stayed at bird Camp glamping site. It was a little chilly so our propane heater came in very handy. Loved going on the hikes and we had an amazing amount of birds that visited our campsite every day. Plenty of room on this site to pop up another tent or two. We may bring the family back. Or not this was such an amazing peaceful getaway.

Sugarloaf is an amazing camping location. The camp hosts made it even better. They are kind, friendly, and very helpful. The set up was great. Morning sun and afternoon shade was ideal for late May.

This spot was wonderful. The bed is comfortable, the tent is spacious, and site 4 was definitely the best of the glamping bunch. The tent gets morning sun, but most of the site stays cool and shaded throughout the day. Note that there's a huge open space between sites 3 and 4, so they would be great to rent together for a large group. The park staff were very friendly and helpful, the showers were warm with decent pressure, and the bathrooms were clean. And the hiking was fantastic! They have a waterproof map you can buy at the visitor center for about $7 that's better than the free one (well worth it), and the free one has descriptions of the hikes including length, elevation changes, sun cover, vegetation, and views. Overall the stay was peaceful and just what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Loved our Glamping Trip to Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park. Everything very nice except I have two requests. We had a party of three at the glamping tent with 3 cars and another picnic table would have been very convenient. The other request is a dishwashing station with hot water. Many are camping in TV's and have access to dishwashing. But if your camping washing dishes can be a real challenge. But a great park and a great trip. Hope to go back soon!

1 night at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Such a lovely spot! Really enjoyed our stay glamping at Sugar Loaf. It was perfect for my two kids (5 and 2) and they had such a nice time! The nature was great, we saw deers and turkeys on our small hike to the creek and up the hillside. The toilets and showers were clean. Would definitely come back again!

3 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping

Our Tent Cabin had comfortable beds that kept us warm, dry and cozy during our 3 night stay at Sugarloaf Ridge SP, while our sons stayed in campsites nearby. There are many trails around, including a "Planet Walk" where you'll learn about our solar system and planets' relative distances from the sun. We saw waterfalls, lots of flowers, mountain vistas during the day, the stars and an almost full-moon at night. Friendly Volunteers help Park Workers lovingly maintain the beautiful campground and its many trails. There are small outhouses near each site; and, clean bathrooms and showers with hot water (a Quarter buys 5-minutes) at camp. Historic wineries (Kunde, Chateau St. Jean, Ledson, etc.) and many good places to eat are nearby. It was a lovely way to spend Spring Break with our family!

Great waterproof cozy tents with an outlet. Fire wood was staked and waiting for us. 2 chairs by the fireplace. Easy lovely camping with a nice host that checked in to see if we needed more lighting or anything.
