Gina is a fantastic host with a just as fantastic glamping experience! She made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable. This is definitely for someone who wants to have a more camp-like experience without having to bring your own tent or sleeping arrangements. Gina provided us with more than enough supplies for our stay and was on top of any requests we had. The lake on site was a beautiful addition to the scenery. I would 100% recommend this stay for any outdoors lovers or those who are looking to experience the outdoors.

Weekend Trip to Glamping the Flint Hills

We stayed one night at Steve and Sharon’s land during our road trip from Nebraska to Kansas, and it was such a lovely experience! My children absolutely loved it — especially the Yut, fireplace and adorable, friendly horses that my younger son couldn’t get enough of. The Yut was spotless, cozy, and very comfortable. It was so beautiful in the night under the moon and stars. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We stayed in the yurt and it was awesome! We enjoyed not having to set up a tent and it was already set up and the inside was very nice! We were on the way to Colorado so glad we found this place! They were very responsive and very helpful. We chatted with Steve for a little while when we got there after he showed us back to the campsite. He is very friendly and would highly recommend!

I loved our glamping experience! As a family of 4 with 2 people having high medical needs this was perfect. Having literally everything we needed already at the site was so thoughtful and made our trip stress free. With access to electricity and running water we had everything we needed and even with pouring rain we had an incredible time.

This was an amazing stay!! The host was very accommodating, and responsive. The tent was beautifully set up with everything you could need. One fire pit at the camp site and one by the pond with ample fire wood piled up. I can’t say enough good things about our stay! We are traveling with 10 dogs and they loved the space to run and the pond to swim in.

We actually got to get a pull through site instead of the back in. It was all paved and we were able to skate in it. Really nice campground. Small store with ice, firewood, bug spray, and things of that nature. Nice pool and bathroom/shower area’s.

The site feels super private and has a great view of the prairie. The generator works well to give power when you need it (in our case all night!). The outdoor shower was great and the cabin has lots of essentials.

Steve was great. He showed me around the site and gave me info in his hiking trails, restaurants and more. The site is beautiful and is located right by a field where he keeps his horses. The bed was super comfy. If you go in summer be ready for lots of mosquitoes and bring tick repellent if you plan to hike on his property. I’d definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Wilson RV Park

We weren't sure what to expect in Wilson, KS but it was surprisingly pleasant and the kids loved hunting the giant Czech eggs. Wilson RV park was a nice small quiet campground, full hookups, plenty of room to maneuver around and the host was very friendly and helpful. Be sure to support their coffee shop in the morning! Also check out The Sample Bar for dinner!
