I have stayed at obed forest gardens multiple times And it's always such a relaxing retreat! I love the proximity to nemo and downtown Warburg. It is a great place to unwind and not too far away.
Great place to get away from everything! Rainy weather but stayed dry with gear, host was excellent with assistance! Beautiful spot and great trails.
Owl campsite is borderline glamping! The level tent platform is big enough for your largest tent. The fire pit is located across a picturesque wooden foot bridge and the wood is included! The hike in is medium to difficult at times but the campsite is totally worth it. I would definitely stay at the owl site again!
We had a wonderful stay!! This was the perfect combination of remote camping with some very thoughtful amenities -- the platform, the kitchen setup, and the campfire / wood made such a difference in making our time enjoyable. The woods are beautiful and communication was easy! We even drove in at night and were able to find everything without a problem. Thank you, Obed Forest Gardens!
This campsite was great! The hosts had everything prepared and the area was so inviting. This place is a hidden treasure! I am looking forward to booking the same site again! The hosts were very helpful with any questions I had. Great time.
Very charming space for those in the backpacking mindset. From the parking area the curated space has whimsical trails to the shared gathering space, and from there through the hills to the individual sites. As in backpacking, be sure to bring just what you need and wear shoes/sandals you're comfortable with on a trail. Intentional and thoughtful details are evident throughout the whole space.
