Heartland Collective &amp; Retreat

Anders and Sharma were incredibly welcoming. They have a magical set up that you can tell was infused with a lot of love. I highly recommend checking out what they've dreamt up and created! Waking up to the sound of birds and the breeze was a healing experience

Tent #5

We had a wonderful stay at Heartland Collective! Shama and Anders both were very welcoming and friendly, and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Our walk on the lake bed behind the property when the water levels were lower was truly a very peaceful and surreal experience that we really enjoyed. We also loved cooking dinner in the kitchen area while watching the beautiful sunset. We would recommend bringing a headlamp for walking around the campsite at night, and definitely order the heater during the winter months. We went in November - there were no bugs and you didn’t have to worry about any critters! The tents were very clean and loved the rug decor. We look forward to coming back to stay here again during the warmer months and seeing how the landscape transforms during that season!

Gorgeous setting that is beautiful and artistic. We were blown away by the creativity and care shown by everyone at Heartland. Check-in was easy, the tent and included bedding were pristine, and we were very impressed by the quality of the facilities (restrooms, showers, sinks, kitchen, etc.). The hosts were friendly and available to answer questions and chat when needed.

Revitalized

With pets ·

It was our first time camping in over 4 years, and what an excellent way to get back into nature. Shama and Anders were such hospitable hostesses. The directions provided for getting to the property were such a time-saver! Our tent was spacious and comfortable, and the private property was quaint and full of personality. They do a great job keeping the community areas stocked, clean, and ready. My partner and I left a day earlier than expected because our dog was feeling a bit anxious, and we thought it was because we hadn't been out in nature in such a long time. But our overall stay was relaxing and revitalizing; our favorite moments were when we just sat outside our tent and napped while feeling the cool breeze. It was heaven on earth, and we can't wait to return!

It is a bit of a journey to get out there, very dusty roads but the camp is well kept. Has running water and lake access. There are also lots of other resources available like an outdoor kitchen and sink. Feels like it would be great for a retreat or a family reunion. The hosts are friendly and do check on you. There are lots of birds to enjoy if you are a birder! The lake has fishing and boating. The camp provides paddle boats and kayaks if you are interested.

Dome ("Athena")

Overall our stay was a bittersweet experience due to the unexpected heat wave. I am sure it would have been more enjoyable on around the cooler season. I must say that the workers are friendly and respectful. The “burning man”, theme with all the lighting at night is nicely put together and pretty. The downside is that the toiletries could use more attention, especially the ones by the lake access. We have recommended the campground to our family and friends.

Great tents, very comfortable beds. Loved the platform setup. The weekend was so hot and we were too busy chasing the shadows to explore. Next time we come back we're hoping for a more cooler experience.

The experience was more than we expected. We will definitely return for the sunsets, lake access, amenities, and the community mindset.

Camping with the pup!

With pets ·

Stayed in Tent 3 with our pup. Such a wonderful weekend, everyone was helpful and friendly. Loved walking the paths along the lake with the pup. We rented a space heater because the weekend had a bit of a cold snap and we were very comfortable. Cooked dinners and breakfast in the outdoor kitchen, which was wonderfully stocked. Even the kitchen has amazing sunset views!

Awesome place

We loved the tent camping. Bedding was comfortable for 2. Common kitchen. Vessels, cleaning supplies, grill and burner were available. Lot of tables around kitchen. For few tents you would have to walk up to common kitchen/tables. Only few sites have their own dining tables. Kayak with life jacket for adults. For kids bring your own. We didn’t use though. Host was very friendly. It was very greenish and lake was accessible.

Stayed there over the weekend. The place is charming! Great entrance, the kitchen is cozy and have all the necessities, even though we brought our own cooking stuff. It's was raining the first day, but our tent (#3) stayed dried inside. The hike around the reservoir was great, but be ready to be full of mud if it's wet. The only cons I can think of: the bed is not super long, if you're more than 5'7, be ready to have your feet out of the bed. We will definitely be back!

Best camping experience!

With kids ·

This property was absolutely amazing & so beautiful! It was a very hot weekend but my 2 year old daughter, sister, husband & I mostly stayed in the water! As well as there being a few water features at the property! Directions were super clear & easy to get there. Although some cons, they aren’t enough to keep us from coming back! We will definitely be back again, soon! Cons: #1 Tent #3 was directly in the sunlight so no shade until about 8/8:30pm #2 there was a bunch of ants inside the tent on the floor & bed since it was super hot from morning till around 8:30pm. #3 no trash on site, you have to take all trash with you!

Tent #5

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Heartland Collective. The place is well maintained and hosts were friendly made sure we were comfortable with the arrangements there. The site we booked has lake facing view, and we loved watching Fred-The Lama by the lakeside in the evenings. We rented kayaks from the hosts for a day (the kayaks are well maintained) and had great time Kayaking in the lake

My new home away from home?

This last wknd was the 2nd time my bf and I sought well-deserved refuge off the grid at Anders and Shama's lovely space. The drive itself to get there is stunning. You basically go lightly "off-roading" past happy cows & green hills. It's immediate how you appreciate the effort that goes into building on a large plot of land from scratch. Whether you consider yourself a creative spirit, a Burner, or even more so, a human being, it is easy to find wondrous and whimsical views all around. There are many spaces built, with care, for you to sit and just, be. You'll be enveloped by sounds of birds (so far, we've accounted for 15 different types), lush terrain, & a huge lake that's steps away. The lake's awesome. Bring floaties from home, rent the kayaks, DON'T forget your water shoes! The outdoor kitchen's well set up. Make sure to bring your own spices, cooking oils, food, drinks, and paper towels/rags. The set up has every type of pot, pan, cooking utensils and stoves. Don't forget to purchase farm fresh eggs. That's a must. I don't need to say more about the outdoor showers except you'll want one for your home. So. Cool. The tents are spacious and comfortable! We loved seeing silhouettes of tiny lizards sunbathing on the exterior of ours in the morning. Bring extra lights to string around the area; above your head & on the ground. The property's lit at night, but your area will benefit from glowing decor. I'll be going up for a 3rd time soon! Can't wait.

Back to nature.

Everything was as described; We had the place to ourselves, so that was awesome! The kitchen was cool 😎 and the bell tent was super cute. I was grateful for the tent light, and the propane heater. That felt so nice. It was a nice retreat from the usual.

I arrived at the campsite during nighttime and was immediately captivated by the enchanting and magical lights around me. I suffer from PTSD and came here with my kids and their mother. I felt like it was slowly mending my soul back together.

We enjoyed Anders & Shama’s camp site. The tent was nice and bed inside was comfortable. It was hot so having the lake so close was very nice. The directions they provide were very clear and we were able to get there very easily. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. Their property has a lot of cool art so it was nice walking around and checking it out.

My host move us to tent 3 with our permission, the tent # 3 is a little dusty. Bed is very uncomfortable, bad for people who has bad issue like us. I like the place with kitchen but since it is a community kitchen people did not clean after use. Shower room has 6 slots but only able to use one at a time, I enjoy the morning whether there, but can not be survive with out big tree shade. Enjoy eating breakfast on the desk
