In 2002, Earth Mountain was vacant land that offered itself to us in a way of a calling. It is an unforgettable experience whether camping here or participating in a program.

The stars are completely amazing, we are so far off the beaten path that there is no light pollution!

We had a wonderful stay tent camping here! The site was very secluded, peaceful, and just what we were looking for. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, and the hosts made us feel right at home. Everything about the experience was excellent!

I highly recommend visiting this place on many levels. Beauty, the intention with which it was created and nurtured, and the truly inspired guiding vision of its stewards.
