Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Located on the river's edge of the Knik River in Palmer, Alaska, our glamping tents offer a unique experience. Unplug, unwind and kickback in our Stout canvas style bell tents. Each tent is stylishly outfitted with a queen size bed, linens, rugs, stylish decor and other amenities. You also will have your own smokeless Solo Stove with seating for two outside your tent. Only 45 minutes north of Anchorage, our location boasts incredible views with access to all things outdoor! There are shared porta toilets with foot pump sinks with soap for hand washing on site. There is one on demand outdoor shower! We have an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ grill, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, salt, pepper and other items for guest use. Half of the property is an adult glamping experience. Half of the property allows children, as long as you understand that we are located right on the river and children should be supervised. Our property is the perfect basecamp with easy access to hiking for all abilities; Bodenburg Butte, Lazy Mountain, Pioneer Peek and Pioneer Falls. Located right on the Knik River we can help you plan a day of fishing, kayaking or riverboat touring. Other local activities include ATV rentals, glacier helicopter tours, exploring the town of Palmer, the Alaska State Fair, a trip to the Reindeer Farm, Independence Mine State Historical Park, the Musk Ox Farm, horseback riding, touring our breweries, enjoying the local golf course, sled dog tours and so much more! Although we love pets, in order to keep tents clean and odor fee, pets are not allowed without permission. No smoking 🚭 Check in 4pm Check out 11am We ask that shoes be removed before enter the tent.

This place is lovely! A little less private than we thought it would be but Lulu provides literally everything you need for a comfy stay. We loved it.

Riverside Cozy Vintage Camper
Exceeded every expectation
I really enjoyed my stay at Lulu's! I spent two nights there and had a wonderful experience. The camper is perfect for one person or a couple who likes to cuddle. I liked the size of it; it's definitely tiny living. That said, it has a LOT of storage room. There's cabinets and space to put belongings just about everywhere you could imagine. The outdoor stove works really well and, speaking from experience, is plenty suitable to cook a meal and bake bread. It's also very safe. I was able to feel confident walking away from the fire for a bit because its high-walled design contained the sparks and flames well. The camper is stocked with: dishes, cutting board, bear spray, bug spray, firestarter, lighter, soap, and hand wipes. There are plenty of pillows and blankets plus a very effective space heater. There really is no need to bring your own blanket for warmth. The mini fridge gets to almost freezing, which is a plus. Electricity works well inside the camper, too. The site provides you with a kettle for hot water, mugs, dishes, utensils, cookware, roasting forks, sweeteners, salt+pepper, a french press, BBQ grill and attached stove. There is so much provided on site that you really only need to bring yourself, clothes, food and toiletries. The view is hard to beat. It's beautiful and a wonderful sight to relax with. Paths are also well marked in the dark with lights. All things considered, I would absolutely book another stay here!

Absolutely enjoyed staying on Lulu’s land. The view was amazing, hospitality was fantastic, and amenities were just what we were looking for. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Beds were comfortable, lots of extras to keep you comfortable were provided. We definitely will be coming back.

The view is killer, the tents are bougie as hell, the bed was comfortable, buddy heater in the tent keeps it toasty warm, you only need your clothes and your food.

The location is beautiful, the grounds are beautifully maintained and Lulu has thought of everything. My husband and I had an amazing night away from the kids and responsibilities. Highly recommend.
