This place is magical! It takes your breath away. I have never been so blown away by a campground….even the bathrooms are pleasant spaces in this secret garden….paradise garden…wonderland. I can’t wait to return. The host is friendly, thoughtful and attentive. Every corner you turn there’s something marvelous to see. Water features and fireplaces abound. Lights twinkle in the darkness and only in this space you imagine that they are fairies soaring above you. I can’t say enough great things about this place. I love it so very much.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Tulgey Woods! On top of accepting my last minute booking request, Yeyen made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable. The property and facilities are beautiful. I would love to return. Thank you, Yeyen!

The Secret Gardens was everything I never thought I needed. My husband and I felt so welcomed and taken care of. It’s a beautiful property with so many amenities. The property owners do a really good job of creating a tranquil space. We are 100% going back and telling our friends about it.

I can see why everyone describes the camp as magical- it really is. So much love, thought and creativity has been poured into it.
It was beautiful, interesting and incredibly well appointed. Lots of toilets and the best outdoor kitchen I have ever seen!
Yeyen and Farbod are lovely people too. Very welcoming and accommodating.
Hopefully we can visit again soon :)

🪶 Eaglet’s Perch @ Tulgey Woods
Very special. Unforgettable. The workmanship and pure raw talent exhibited in the endless visually exhilarating structural genius is nothing short of a wide opened mouth that never shuts moment. I want this man, his hands and his abstract deep imbedded mind at my side in times of dire need and guiding me so that my hands and my meager mind can magically rise to the occasion he lives. I believe their cloud 9 come to life is what we just visited the last couple days. Most inspiring and impressive. Tim and Brandy.

A truly magical place. Artistry and craftsmanship everywhere you turn. Incredibly generous hospitality. The shared kitchen is beyond well stocked. Communal spaces are spacious and beautiful. Yeyen was exceptionally responsive throughout. We’ll be back for sure.

Mother Nature dumped buckets on us the entire time, BUT this spot was built for it! Boathouse was our cozy sanctuary, super comfortable bed, plenty of blankets, and has great lounge space. The covered firepit area and couch space saved us from soaking, and the kitchen had plenty of covered space for cooking.
Bathrooms and showers were clean and worked perfectly!! Only bummer: pizza oven was out of order.
Way too rainy to explore the rest of the property, and hikes but I'd come back when the sun decides to show up :)

This was our first time visiting the secret garden with my kids and wife. It has an amazing view and too many stuff to explore truly it was a secret place and my kids had a lot of fun. Open big kitchen fully equipped, clean washrooms and hot shower, fire pit area is amazing and romantic. Overall great place to visit and spent time we will definitely visit again with friends and families.
How can I forget about friendly and welcoming hosts both husband and wife were amazing. Thanks again for the hospitality:)

I just love this place. I came with a bunch of friends to celebrate my birthday, and the hosts took such great care of us. They even had a special surprise for me, a piano player, to help me celebrate. Very special, magical place, and awesome, caring hosts!

Farbod and Yenyen's place is a gem! It has all the amenities that you'll need - whether you're pitching a tent, driving an RV, or staying in one of their charming cottages.
* Tent sites in Tugley Woods - each site is well maintained and each provides its own picnic table and shades from the trees. Like what others say, it is close to the street so you will hear the cars go by. During the busy season, this area also has its own restrooms and outdoor kitchen facilities
*Main kitchen / living room / fire place area - this is a beautiful area for everyone to hang out and enjoy the facilities, whether you're cooking up your best camp meal or just enjoying a sip of coffee in the seating areas, there is something for everyone.
* Rest of the secret garden - it's to be experienced in person b/c every corner has a little surprise since Farbod and Yenyen have put their heart and soul into making this place magical.
I encourage everyone who's looking for something fun and magical to check it out!

You can’t put into words or pictures how wonderful this place is. It’s so amazing!!! If you book anywhere else, it’s a mistake. The property was so enchanting!! We had a surprise group camp trip here for my husbands 30th birthday & everyone (all very experienced campers) left saying it was the best campsite of their life. & we are already planning our return trip! So much effort and love and detail put into every inch of this absolutely stunning property. The owners came down and were so kind and easy going. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Epic in every way!
The Secret Enchanted Garden is hands-down the best campground retreat I’ve ever visited. Every detail from the lush, magical setting to the peaceful atmosphere feels like stepping into another world. You can tell the hosts have poured their heart into making this place special. It’s beautiful, serene, and truly one of a kind.
Deserves every single star of a five-star review.
I can’t wait to come back!
