Tucked away from the hustle and bustle and nestled in the trees just outside of town, Busafonte welcomes you to get lost in nature. On nearly two acres of land, you'll have your own private area to enjoy, including a large fire pit, hammock trees, and perhaps a visit from our neighborhood turkeys and chickens.
Regular wildlife visitors to our woodland include moose, black and brown bears, eagles, ravens, squirrels, magpies and Steller’s jays, among other birds.
Busafonte is a "dry" converted mid-size bus equipped with electricity, a water tank, and a private outhouse. A small, fully equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom with a twin bed and its own woodstove provide the perfect home base for relaxing before and after your big adventures.
Our property is just a short distance from town, multiple hiking trails, and plenty of outdoor outfitters (fishing, kayaking, and sightseeing). We are happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions to help you make the most of your visit.

Our host was very kind and made us feel right at home. Some of the dry camps have a little green space for tents which was nice! For the most part it's a gravel lot.
The bathrooms are nice porta potties with the little foot pump sinks inside that were clean and didn't smell.
The shower house has two showers and was very clean, and had nice showers in them.
Note that the view of the mountains is mostly only visible to the cabins and one row of the RV spots.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. The host was incredibly generous with his time and great company, but also very respectful of your space. You can keep to yourself or engage as much as you like. We ended up sharing a wonderful dinner together, which was a highlight of the stay. This is the kind of place you come to slow down, think, and enjoy the beauty around you. I’d definitely come back.

This was a great experience! Cozy, quiet, and the portapotty was the cleanest I’d ever seen. It was a little tight with two people, but we brought a sleeping pad and it worked out just fine. We were lucky with weather, but it could have been hailing and we wouldn’t have know the difference. The wood stove would be very cozy in the winter. Would love to come back another time!

It’s a beautiful view, that’s for sure!! Right alongside the river and opportunities for wildlife viewing. My only critique is that I wish they would update the photos to the specific site your booking. I according to the photos on our reservation we would’ve had the front row of the beautiful scene. And that was not the case. The gravel lot is huge and unless you’re in the front row you will not have the view that is advertised. Otherwise, it a great spot.

The bus is super cute, and convenient to Seward. Very clean porto and kitchen, and while we didn’t use the firepit it looked well stocked.
Only caveat with the space is that the bed isn’t really big enough for two. I ended up sleeping under the table, nestled with some sleeping pads. Also a bit of a musty smell, but that’s to be expected with an old vehicle.

It was a nice quiet spot with lots of room for our kids to run around. They loved watching the loons and fishing on the lake. The kayak on site was a plus in taking our kids out on the lake. We had a travel trailer and truck. I was glad to see they left a lot of room to maneuver around to park in the perfect spot next to the lake.
