Bring your own tent OR glamping. The glamping option day 1 almost out. A handful for night 2. LOTS of space for bring your tent. And for an extra $15 a person, they will shuttle your gear to the campsites. You must choose the option at checkout. FINALLY- if you want to glamp, DO NOT choose that option. You must put in the comment that you want to glamp if available. They will contact you for the price difference if available. And help pitch in for a firewood bundle if able- it would be appreciated as we are required to buy a few. I’ll put in for a bundle as well.**
