Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
DuPont Bike Retreat is located 1/4 mile from the Fawn Lake Access area into DuPont State Forest. The DBR is 37 acres and has a pond with a dock and numerous camping sites available. The property used to hold Glass Feather Studio, which was a glass art studio and is now Glass Feather Lodge. The mountain view from the indoor porch is amazing and there are several places to relax and enjoy this view. There is an outdoor shower and bike wash station behind the lodge and two indoor bathrooms (one with shower) off the porch. The lower Pond Area of the property has a port-a-john near the pond. Starter bundles of firewood are included, and additional can usually be purchased on-site. Come enjoy the forest straight from your campsite!

Very prompt response on short notice. As advertised. Complimentary firewood and coffee was great. Clean bathrooms. Pretty views by the lodge. Would stay again.

Tent camping here was serene
There is everything you need as a recipe for a great outdoor experience. There are trails on the property, lots of beautiful vegetation, and shade. Each camp site had a picnic table and fire pit. Very close to the state park and lots of other attractions. The bathroom and shower were lovely to have access to after a long day of exploration. The two camping spots offered are next to each other, however the other camping guest was friendly and respectful. I did see the baby bear while visiting and would highly recommend being mindful of trash/food items being packed away for the evening. There is a lovely over view where one can watch the sunrise, it's worth waking up for. There was a coffee maker and local coffee at the lodge! The owners were friendly and seemed excited to continue to develop their space for guests. I'd love to see the changes over time.

#8 In The Zone
The best camp site EVER!
We absolutely LOVED this campground! This is sincerely the most unique and the best place I have ever camped. Cathie & Todd have put so much work into making this a magical place. The property is pristine, and the campsites are beautiful and private. The porta-potty near the pond is spotlessly clean. The trails are marvelous! The lodge is a great resource, if you want a shower or an easy way to get a hot cup of coffee. We stayed at #8 In The Zone, which has a deck overlooking the pond. It is a completely private site. The only drawback is the narrow opening between 2 trees. It was a challenge to navigate our (very small) trailer into the site. I hope they are able to get rid of one of the trees to open it up more. Also, be aware that the road down to the pond is VERY steep (and a little treacherous!) You must have 4-wheel drive to get back up. Todd and Cathie are still working to get this together and have grand plans–so it will only get better! Thank you for this amazing place. We were only able to stay 3 nights–but would love to come back soon!!!
