Peaceful glamping

This was such a great place to camp. We had quite a drive and it was so nice to have everything present and pre-set for us to just arrive and sleep. This a great location for many adventures, rafting, hiking, biking and paddle boarding. We enjoyed the stay. The communal kitchen had everything we needed to get by and the showers were hot and awesome. We saw deer, bull frogs, tree frogs, lizards, butterflies various birds and wild turkeys! We would definitely stay again!

What a lovely set up in peaceful wildlife preserve. The hosts have set up a wonderful outdoor experience that feels like you are inside, but with wildlife. Free entry into the butterfly sanctuary is a bonus. It was so beautiful.

As always the swim hole was lovely and we had it all to ourselves. My kid had a great time connecting with kids at the adjacent tent and they loved exploring and observing the lizards together. The butterfly preserve was a nice treat and looking forward to my next visit. Me and my kiddo have decided it will be an annual destination

Great family spot for us and our 4 year old. We Loved the butterfly pavilion, walking to the river and swimming at the “suprize oasis”. Did some blackberry picking and bunny watching as our kid ride his bike along the driveway in the morning. The kitchen area was really nice and the glamping tent was amazing! I’m personally feeling like I may never go back to camping after this. We were looking for a motel and couldn’t find one in the area but this was so much more special and our style. I will definitely be back and recommend this to everyone.

We had a beautiful experience at Rusk Ranch. Quiet and peaceful, and the glamping tents were amazing! So comfy while still camping. A great experience!

Wow! What a treat. After many nights of tent camping, this was our first "glamping" experience. We were not let down. They have thought of so many ways to make your stay super easy and comfortable. I didn't expect a full kitchen with snacks available to buy (for 50-cents), soaps, shampoos and conditioners in the showers, fresh towels, and an abundance of lights! You could absolutely just show up with your clothes, toothbrush/paste, and groceries and be set. We took a dip in the river and it was a beautiful (albeit with a little more algae than I love swimming in), deep, and remote spot. We saw many butterflies on our hike down to the river, too. the sites were private and had lovely porches with chairs to sit out and watch the stars. The ONLY thing that could make this better is if there was pluming so we didn't have to use outhouses (though they were very tidy), and a hammock! The kids enjoyed going to see the butterflies at the nature center in the AM, too! We will definitely come back.

Great, unusual stay, wildlife sites

The glamping tent was beautifully furnished (I stayed in 4), and the area around the tent was clean and comfortable. There are plenty of signs to help you understand the area and find what you need - almost too many! I will say that the entry area close to the butterfly retreat includes a view of a side property that appears cluttered and offers a bad first impression, but when you drive back to the glamp zone everything is neat and tidy and comfortable. The check in procedure was about as hands on as I’ve experienced so far on either HipCamp or Airbnb experiences, in that the host met me, led me to my site, walked me through all rules and had me sign in. I also was asked to provide my credit card which made me feel a little uncomfortable as I had already paid on the app, but I complied as I have done so for hotels, and it seemed they were trying to be thorough as this was their first weekend but open. If this had been my first HipCamp experience that might have put me off, but I was a last minute book, have camped a few properties, and the risk felt right for having a bed for the night. I had a great stay and would stay again or recommend it to others. Saw beautiful wildlife and enjoyed a peace stay that was much needed. The shower and kitchen house really helped me feel comfortable!
