Accommodations at The Wandering Path are designed for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Four glamping tents, equipped with real full-size beds, portable AC for summer, heaters for winter, and essential amenities, ensure a comfortable stay amidst nature.

Amanda was a wonderful host, very attentive and sweet. The property is gorgeous and the creek is the perfect remedy for a hot Florida day. The property pup Bella was sweet as can be and she welcomed our pup openly. This is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. We will definitely be back.

Uniquely wonderful camp experience

The Wandering Path Yurt #2

I decided to treat my parents while they were in town to a night in the woods. This is now going to be the new tradition when they come. My dad absolutely loved it and actually wants to go back. Amanda has truly cultivated a uniquely wonderful camp experience. Plan on eventually trying to get the whole family out there for a camp weekend.

The Wandering Path Yurt #2

The area was ready for us to start enjoying ourselves. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The only thing that was a little unsettling was the gun fire that seemed rather close. But everything else was perfect. The bathhouse was very clean, the property was very well kept to nature and we will come back again.
