Stellar place to enjoy nature/life!
Absolutely love Parksland Resort. We had a great time. The grounds are beautiful (even after a cold snap in January). The bell tent that we stayed in was absolutely wonderful and surprisingly warm with the propane heater running. We had a blast cooking on the wood stove inside and also on the solo stove outside. Wonderful experience and we'll definitely be back! Also, happy belated birthday, Dustin! Thank you :)

Great camp site with a comfortable bed, very nice fire pit, and beautiful hike and swimming hole. We stayed in a yurt at the end of December and felt very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit at Parksland Retreat! We stayed in a charming Bell Tent (FF1 Knoll), just a short walk down from our parking spot. Inside, we found everything that we needed to be comfortable for the night. We listened to the cool breeze whistle through the trees and enjoyed a pleasant view of the sunrise in the morning. I wish we could have stayed longer to explore the land around, but we're just passing through for a night's rest. We would definitely visit again, especially during the warmer season to enjoy the swimming hole and hike to the falls nearby. Thank you again Dustin and Emily for hosting us at your lovely site!!

What a remarkable piece of land this is. Just can’t even begin to describe it. You just have to visit for yourself. Friendly, helpful, communicative hosts. My dogs loved frolicking about. I truly cannot wait to return. Thank you
