McFender Bell Tent
Fathers Day weekend
Russ’s land was the ideal retreat for a Fathers Day weekend. The glam ping is spacious and comfortable, with a great view from the deck. The creek is a short walk and is great for cooling off. After a fun day of walking the trails and exploring the property, we spread our blanket in the clearing in front of the tent and enjoyed the clear night sky.

We love camp McFender! Beautiful peace of property, very private. Russ was very helpful and answered all our questions. We would love to return!

Great spot on a flowing creek. 2 tents, 2 kids, 1 dog … great time! The trails are great for mountain biking, well maintained and marked, lots of routes to pedal or hike. Russ is super responsive, even offered to show us the trails but the timing didn’t work out. Limited Wi-Fi, biodegradable soap to wash the pup was handy.
