The Secret Sanctuary offers a serene escape, blending the comforts of a luxury hotel with the tranquility of the woods. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment, friendly hosts, and unique outdoor experiences such as stargazing and enjoying heated outdoor showers. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some guests have noted issues with dog interactions. Nonetheless, the campground's blend of nature, comfort, and community make it an appealing choice for those seeking a quiet retreat.

What a great experience. Beautiful spred, everything you need. Everything was clean and everything had the feeling of just going the extra mile. It was like having a nice clean hotel room on an acreage. Couple friendly dogs to pet, heated outdoor shower. We will definetly be back. Hidden gem

The place is so nice. It is perfect for someone who wants some kind of serenity, quiet and peaceful environment. They have the place set up perfectly. Me and my husband enjoyed our “me time” together. They have a very good service and the owners are warm and friendly.

I booked this site for my husband and daughter to stay at. I was unable to join them but they said it was fantastic. It was very quiet and the site was very spacious (unlike many campgrounds where you are jammed in so tight you can hear the other campers conversations. My daughter loved having visits from the owners dogs and visiting the lamas! I would 100% book here again and highly recommend!

Site 1: Secret Sanctuary
We had an amazing weekend at the Secret Sanctuary Retreat. The site was big and can fit our three families comfortably. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the campground, and everyone raved about the composting toilets lol. Thank you for having us. Look forward to returning next year!
