Weekend Trip to Elk Valley Creekside

We had such a great stay! The site was right along the creek—super peaceful and relaxing. We loved walking in the creek, cooking over the fire, and hanging out by the campfire at night. The setup was beautiful, and Barry was a wonderful, welcoming host. We can’t wait to go back!

Easy check in. Beautiful property. I highly recommend this glamping experience to anyone. My friend and I split the Waggin Tails covered wagon and were blown away at how roomy and comfortable it was. The wood and easy start kindling that's provided was a lovely bonus. The coffee shop uses the most delicious beans. I made sure I bought a bag to bring home so my husband could taste them. I enjoyed myself so much that I bought a gift card as a Christmas gift for a family member so they can come experience this campground with their family.

We cant express how stunning this property is. The pictures simply don't do it any justice. Barry and his son were wonderful hosts during our stay. They provided plenty of fire wood and water. The bed was comfortable and the tent was cozy. They did offer a heater in case we were too cold at night but we were just fine. Waking up to the sounds of nature and the creek were incredible. Saw my first bald eagle in real life! We couldn't be happier. This site has now become a tradition for us. Cant wait to visit again

Weekend Trip to Bison Trace Luxury Camping

Our little family stayed in one of the tents this past weekend and upon our arrival we found a spacious tent with all the amenities for an outside gathering, outdoor cooking, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and a separate game room. We were so impressed with the cleanliness, aesthetics, and personal touches that were left by the owners. Some shout outs: * We were given a separate heated bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet, and a personalized touch of our family name on a sign outside the door * A gathering area or hang out after hours with a fire cauldron * A coffee shop with specious coffee and chai lattes and reasonably priced breakfast options * Pickleball for our kids * Very kind and gracious hosts We will absolutely be back and recommend this as a place to visit to our friends and family!

My dog and I had an amazing time camping on Barry’s land! We had everything we needed and Barry was thoughtful enough to bring us some spring water, which saved me from having to get in my car to restock! They also supplied us with plenty of dry wood for our campfire. The views were breathtaking! We had so much fun exploring the property and hiking through Elk Creek. We will definitely be back!

Barry’s place is perfect if you like a peaceful setting, being surrounded by nature, listening to a creek, enjoying a lovely fire. Slept like a baby and woke up to a cool breeze, babbling creek and an eagle flying by. Hope to be back in the fall. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

Absolutely magical! We’ll be back next year - probably for several days. It’s so easy to just relax and be present there - a world apart! The game room, playset, lake, fire pits, ample firewood, and facilities were just beautifully done and soooo worth it! My kiddos cried when it was time to leave. The hot dinners and s’mores kits available for purchase were such a nice touch too. I can’t forget to mention our gracious and friendly hosts too - they made us feel so welcome!

We loved our stay at Barry’s place. It was so peaceful and secluded. The river was perfect. It was clean and great for the kids and dog to play in. The campsite was stocked with all our needs and there was so much wood provided! Barry and his son even brought us 5 gallons of local spring water. They were helpful in every way! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning scenery and equally as wonderful hospitality. Fantastic communication, thoughtfully stocked camp, AND they had a campfire waiting for us! We woke up to a golden eagle soaring along the creek side, splashed & explored, and we even saw a bald eagle! Truly a weekend of core memories.

Barry was a fantastic host and the land was beautiful. Walking around the property and watching our pup play in the creek were highlights of an amazing weekend. Saw several eagles fly down the creek, and the lightning bugs were absolutely amazing. Would love to come back again soon.

Everyone should try camping in a covered wagon at least once. This was definitely far nicer than anything I imagined. The amenities were top-notch and the people were really lovely. Even when the weather wouldn’t cooperate, we were able to play games and enjoy the setting in a covered and screened porch.

We love Barry’s land and have stayed multiple times. The eagles were flying over the river and an unbelievable amount of lightning bugs were out in the fields and in the trees. We took river tubes and were able to tube down the river a bit when the water level came down after having rained a lot the day before.

Fantastic property with a great creek view from the tent. Saw bald eagles flying through the creek every morning, one even carrying a large bass. It was a chilly weekend but Barry provided a propane heater to keep the tent warm and dry fire wood for a cooking/camp fire. We arrived really late at night and they had a campfire burning and showed us the property.

Great site and great host. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so we couldn't fish as much as we wanted when the stream was blown out but we will definitely be back again!
