Anders & Shama is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

We are an off-grid, solar-powered, 25-acre lakeside venue and permaculture-inspired, lifestyle-rich collaborative that is a retreat and event venue, and hosts guests for glamping. Heartland exists where the wilderness of off-grid life meets an artistic collective that sings possibility to the fringe dwellers of the Regenerative Eco-Village movement. Heartland offers everyone a break from the craziness of what so many call "Life" and a view of what can be co-created with each other for each other. As in permaculture, the Heartland model is about doing more with less, it's about allowing our individual and diverse natural Flow states to merge, forging new pathways of co-creation that are the true answer to our collective purpose. We invite teams and individuals to come to build through our Heartlander Work-Trade program or join retreats or workshops focused on one of our 4 Heartland Pillars: OuterWork - InnerWork - Transformation - Celebration. We hold harmony, creativity, innovation, connection, and shared leadership as core building blocks of our vision. Our private-membership based organization offers various levels of engagement. You've been called here, so we invite you to explore our tracks. The Heartland Collective is a prototype for a larger collective of regenerative communities where members can own shared equity in land and use a commonly held currency that interchanges between each location offering unique flexibility. *As of 1/1/2025 we do not have lake access. We have various water features on-site and there is a swimming hole near by.

Tent #5

We had a wonderful stay at Heartland Collective! Shama and Anders both were very welcoming and friendly, and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Our walk on the lake bed behind the property when the water levels were lower was truly a very peaceful and surreal experience that we really enjoyed. We also loved cooking dinner in the kitchen area while watching the beautiful sunset. We would recommend bringing a headlamp for walking around the campsite at night, and definitely order the heater during the winter months. We went in November - there were no bugs and you didn’t have to worry about any critters! The tents were very clean and loved the rug decor. We look forward to coming back to stay here again during the warmer months and seeing how the landscape transforms during that season!

Gorgeous setting that is beautiful and artistic. We were blown away by the creativity and care shown by everyone at Heartland. Check-in was easy, the tent and included bedding were pristine, and we were very impressed by the quality of the facilities (restrooms, showers, sinks, kitchen, etc.). The hosts were friendly and available to answer questions and chat when needed.

Tent #4

It was our first time camping in over 4 years, and what an excellent way to get back into nature. Shama and Anders were such hospitable hostesses. The directions provided for getting to the property were such a time-saver! Our tent was spacious and comfortable, and the private property was quaint and full of personality. They do a great job keeping the community areas stocked, clean, and ready. My partner and I left a day earlier than expected because our dog was feeling a bit anxious, and we thought it was because we hadn't been out in nature in such a long time. But our overall stay was relaxing and revitalizing; our favorite moments were when we just sat outside our tent and napped while feeling the cool breeze. It was heaven on earth, and we can't wait to return!

It is a bit of a journey to get out there, very dusty roads but the camp is well kept. Has running water and lake access. There are also lots of other resources available like an outdoor kitchen and sink. Feels like it would be great for a retreat or a family reunion. The hosts are friendly and do check on you. There are lots of birds to enjoy if you are a birder! The lake has fishing and boating. The camp provides paddle boats and kayaks if you are interested.

Dome ("Athena")

Overall our stay was a bittersweet experience due to the unexpected heat wave. I am sure it would have been more enjoyable on around the cooler season. I must say that the workers are friendly and respectful. The “burning man”, theme with all the lighting at night is nicely put together and pretty. The downside is that the toiletries could use more attention, especially the ones by the lake access. We have recommended the campground to our family and friends.

Tent #1

Great tents, very comfortable beds. Loved the platform setup. The weekend was so hot and we were too busy chasing the shadows to explore. Next time we come back we're hoping for a more cooler experience.
