  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Arcadia Valley Outdoors offers a blend of tranquility and convenience, with many campers appreciating its spacious, secluded sites and proximity to nature trails. While the well-maintained amenities such as hot tubs and kayaks enhance the experience, some visitors noted areas for improvement, including road conditions and maintenance of facilities like showers and compost toilets. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the camp's natural beauty and thoughtful setup often leave campers keen to return.

  • Raquel E.

    Camped in a 14 ft travel trailer at Terrarium with kids, Nov 2025.

    It was okay

    We went off season so this might be the reason the place was a little bit neglected and we didn’t see any host there. First at all, the Terranium camp site was big, beautiful, and quiet, but the compost toilets were kind of dirty, and there wasn’t water at the only shower they had. I think for the price they charge they should have at least 1 well constructed shower/bathroom.

  • Brett A.

    Tent camped at Terrarium with friends, Nov 2025.

    Recommends

    Great spot. Close to the mountain, beautiful site.

  • Chelsea G.

    Camped at Arcadian Oasis, Nov 2025.

    Recommends

    We camped in the safari tent and had a cozy lovely time. Although it was in a loop with other campsites it felt plenty private, set back from the road and separated from the other sites by plenty of trees. Didn't end up trying the tub, but it looked nice. The wood stove kept us warm throughout the night, and the solar power bank and water pump were a nice touch.
