Just a lovely place to get away & relax by the creek. Couldn’t have asked for more. Site #5 was perfect. Had private creek access from our campsite with a couple of steep steps down & used a rope to pull ourselves back up. This place was adorable & very well maintained. The camp host, Amanda, is nice & welcoming. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was set up great! The spots were easy to identify and the directions for getting there helped greatly.
Tent site 8 was fantastic. There was a wheel barrel provided that came in handy for getting the cooler there. The common kitchen area saved the night for cooking dinner one day that I struggled with a fire. Cleaning up dishes there was very convenient. The bathrooms were clean and fantastic.
The location on cold water creek was my favorite part about this place. There's a couple beautiful sandbars to relax on the creeks edge.
Overall, a wonderful, peaceful, and well equipped campground for a trip outdoors.

Weekend Trip to Bay Forest Retreat
This was our second time at the Glamper 2 and it was fantastic, once again! My daughter loves this set up and loves the surroundings. The provided kayaks where the highlight of the trip for her this time around. Very quiet and secluded, it’s far enough removed that it’s peaceful but close enough to the main roads should you need some. We will definitely be returning again.

The spot was beautiful!! We loved the glamping tent. The linens were clean and comfortable, and the location was quiet and serene. We had a lovely time in the kayaks and around the fire. The outdoor shower was invigorating, too! The facilities were clean, including the port a potty. We never could get the well to work, but if needed, water can be gathered from the water source in the outdoor shower. Overall, a wonderful experience.

2 nights at The Wandering Path
Amanda was very nice. We had minimal interaction, but that's the whole point, right?
The stream/river was so refreshingly cool and relaxing. The best about it was just sitting down and listening to absolutely nothing, except that stream. No ambulances, no motorcycles, do squealing tires, just... quiet.
The yurts and bathhouse were cozy and clean. Very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
For those technology-inclined I did have decent cell service and there is electricity in the yurts. But, try to disconnect and experience nature if you visit here. Listen to the water, the birds, the wind; not TikTok

We really enjoyed our overnight primitive camp. The property and trails are awesome and the sites are very nice with fire pits and log seats around them. It would be nice to have an easier way to get camping gear and supplies to the site.. they provide folding wagon but the footbridge over swampy area is very narrow and cart tipped over side quite a few times.. was exhausted after 4 round trips getting our gear and cooler to site.. I will come back for sure but will pack much lighter lol
