Barren River Magic Tent Camping
We camped in the river bottoms at the bottom of the hill. There were 21 of us and it felt very roomy and comfortable (plus it was ten degrees cooler down there than up the hill). The river is lazy but refreshing, and the place is absolutely beautiful. I recommend it!

It was better for me than a tent and all that entails and the group I was with were camping in tents so I could still participate in the retreat.

Barren River Magic Peace Pipe Site
Really enjoyed my stay. Walking down to the river and seeing all the cool campsites, art pieces, and fire pits was great. Peace pipe felt like sleeping in a tall tower. Be sure to pack light. The climb isn't bad, but several trips was wearing. I hope to return.

Beautiful lay of the land at the river bottom for tenters. The accommodations are rustic and work. Wonderful experience
