Carriage House II

Super Accommodating

2D is an extremely kind host who always welcomes us with a smile. There was an issue with the Carriage House so they swapped the lodging with a newer addition and it wad a perfect view of the cloudless night sky. I highly recommend Barren River Magic for your next camping adventure!

Barren River Magic Cliffside

Unique experience!!!

The open air cabins are unique and exciting. They have an entire gated area with plenty of privacy to enjoy with family and friends. The host was great and even had a couple golden doodles he let out that were super friendly.

Barren River Magic Totum Site

Glamping in style

It was an amazing spot, Creek behind my spot was perfect for ambient noise, the barren River was a short walk away, there was a little construction going on but other than that i had an amazing time, and I'll be back next year
