This unit currently does not have power, but we do have solar lighting on the front porch that comes on at dusk. We do have power in the pavilion where you can charge your phones or other electronics. We will provide you with paper plates and plasticware, and bath towels for the bathhouse only. Please do not take these towels off premises to swimming areas. You must bring your own towels for rafting adventures, etc. The bathrooms include bath wash, conditioner, and shampoo. You will also have a gas grill you will share with the other tent beside you. We recommend you bring a cooler to store your cold food items. We highly recommend bringing valuable items with you when you leave your tent, as they do not lock. Glamping Retro is not responsible for the loss of or stolen items from your rental. Luckily our property does not have mosquitos, but we do get other flying pests, so we recommend closing your tent when not occupied. It does get cool at night, even in the summertime, so we recommend that you pack accordingly. Quiet time will be at 10:00 pm and all outdoor lights will go off at 11:00 pm, except the solar pathway lights. Please be respectful of other glampers that go to bed early. If you choose to swim on the property, it is at your own risk.

    Amazing secret tucked up in the mountain near Spivey with easy access to the NOLI. Enjoyed the Yala tent cabin design and the bathhouse. Will definitely be back when kayaking or instructing SWR. See ya on the River.

    So I don’t want to blow up a huge expectation and maybe you would be disappointed but we really loved this place. We stayed in the minimal tent accommodations as we like it that way and the experience was HUGE with the common area and other tents and campers along the creek with the water always singing the relaxing sounds creeks make. The stars were super bright at night and the AT trail a mile away is challenging and invigorating. Ask about the water fall swimming hole a few miles past the AT. And talk to the host about how they created this magical place. The story is amazing. Bathrooms showers are over the top cool and it was just a great value for the money. We will absolutely be back!!!!
