Weekend Trip to Glamping at Cheaha State Park

We brought our 4 kids for their first camping trip and it was such a fun time. This is the ultimate “glamping” experience. There is so much to love about this location! The different hiking trails and waterfalls were simply beautiful. I have nothing negative to share. This was a great idea for our family. The staff at the park were so kind. Thank you Timberland & Hipcamp for suggesting this adventure.

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

This was my second time at Bohemia. First, was for Birmingham’s first music and arts festival called Awakenus. And I couldn’t wait to return. This place is simply magical. We hiked to the waterfall, took a long swim in the refreshing water, swam in the spring fed lake, kayaked, fished, and stargazed in the two nights we stayed. Leigh was awesome! She greeted us at check-in and was delightful to talk to. I highly recommend planning a trip here. The campsites are spacious and each has a picnic table, fire pit and plenty of space between them. A friendly reminder to leave no trace :)

Weekend Trip to Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake

Starlight Haven was a perfect weekend- glamping get away. The view was very pleasant and the amenities were perfect for what we needed. We enjoyed using the grill and sharing our meals on our porch looking at the lake. The place was very clean and cozy. They even had a couple board games stocked. I would highly recommend as a peaceful get away! The team was also responsive. One thing I’ll say is that the domes are relatively close to one- another which was fine with us, but not the most private getaway. Still ample space, and more space than what you would get in a traditional camping setting between sites.

3 nights at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

We had such an amazing trip! Very quiet and peaceful! The pond was stocked with fish and had lots of fun catching fish. Leigh and the other workers were very helpful and quick to respond and deliver supplies!

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Absolutely amazing service! The host was super friendly. This place was beautiful better than I imagined. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend it.

3 nights at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake

We stayed in one of the geodomes by the lake and it was great! Nice kitchen and bathroom with everything needed included. Definitely a great glamping experience! We’ll be back. Check out the Little Rock River hiking too, very pretty. Rome Georgia had a cute little downtown area with restaurants and shops.

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

Bohamia was a great overnight pit stop! This track of land is amazing! Make sure you take the trail(s); they are state park worthy! And the caretaker was quite nice, as were the facilities.

1 night at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake

Wow. Nothing about this place is by accident. I was impressed before we ever even walked into our geo dome. Then even more so as we did! I’ve traveled all over the United States and been overseas and this is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. This was only a stop along the way to the Ozarks for my son and I, but I would plan a relaxing extended Stay completely for this place.

We had a good stay. Pretty lake and property The domes are nice. They're air tight so don't forget to set the AC before you go out for the day. Not a complaint, just want to help out future campers.
