Banta's Acres Camp 2

Forest Farm

Circumstances didn't allow us to be able to stay overnight in one of the domes but we did get to tour the property before we had to leave. I can tell you, these folks are working hard to make this place a unique and fun experience. They've added a lot of handcrafted detail throughout the property from the dome sites themselves to the custom handrail on the bridge to the fabulous A-frame chicken coop. You really have to experience this piece of property, it's magical. It's not often you find a place that has wooded camp vibes and a farm stay all in one.

Dome Camping- 10/10

Such an awesome little getaway! Super clean, comfy and just an awesome spot. With hammocks, cooking gear, coffee and everything in between all you have to bring is the essentials which is super helpful when you want to enjoy the time camping rather then stress about packing. The owner, Heather, even walked us up and gave us a run through of the place followed by goat feeding. Super awesome spot with a super awesome host- 10/10!

Want to stay again!

It was loads of fun! We didn't get to use the fire pit because it was still pretty hot the first night and then there was evening rain and thunderstorms. The trees provided lots of cover tho and could hardly tell it was raining until it started pouring. The storm was fun to experience in the dome! Glad we decided to sleep inside rather than the hammocks. All kitchen supplies included but we didn't use. A couple games to play - haven't played Connect 4 since I was a kid. We were gone most of the day kayaking and hiking - it was great coming back to a quiet place with cover from the storm. Clean outhouse, etc. The walk is a little longer to the 'Red/Orange Star Dome', so, therefore, a little more private, but both are very secluded. Loved seeing the super cute goats on the way in/out!
