The Wandering Path #8 -hike-in site

Amanda was a great host and the site was perfect for our family. Great view and access to the creek. The kids were in the water all day. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. The outdoor group kitchen was well equipped and made cooking for our large group much easier than over the fire at our campsite. Overall, I would highly recommend the Wandering Path. Great spot.

The Wandering Path, Yurt #1 (w/AC)

We had an amazing time glamping in our cozy yurt! The yurt was super cute and comfy, with great amenities that made our stay enjoyable. Cooking dinner and breakfast outside was a highlight—there’s nothing like sharing meals in nature. We also loved kayaking down the river, surrounded by beautiful scenery. At night, we relaxed under the moonlight, enjoying each other's company. Overall, it was a perfect mix of adventure and romance. We can’t wait to come back!

The Wandering Path, Primitive #5

First solo camping trip

I wanted to pick an area ,to do my first solo camping trip, that felt safe and peaceful. Amanda’s property did not disappoint! She was kind and hands on if I needed anything! Even met her sweet dog Bella 😊 The bath house and kitchen area were clean and a great bonus. It was very calm and peaceful, exactly what I needed! I couldn’t have picked a better camping spot and recommend to anyone, solo or family, for a getaway.

The Wandering Path #8 -hike-in site

An absolute must!!!!!!

PERFECT! If you are looking for a place to get away from everything and unwind, this is the place for you!!! Primitive site 8 is quiet and plenty of space a wonderful views. There are amenities should you need them. Amanda is the absolute best hostess! Bella, is an awesome puppy that will come visit also! You can hike and enjoy the water all at the same time.

The Wandering Path #8 -hike-in site

Site #4

It was a quick, yet very relaxing stay! Amanda was super friendly and helpful! She even let me change sites last minute. I originally booked site 8 (the hike in site), but after wandering the property, decided that site 4 would be a better “fit” (I just wanted to lay by the water all day). I was even able to pitch my tent right next to the water! Every site was clean and had its own character. Lucky, I booked in the middle of the week and had the entire property to myself! The bathhouse was charming and clean and solar lights around the property added a nice touch. And while I normally cook dinner on a mini table in the dark hunched next to my tent, I made use of the very nice lighted kitchen area provided. Overall, a great experience! Maybe next time I’ll actually pack my kayak! Thanks Amanda!!
