We had a great experience camping here! It was really nice to have a bathroom and shower available.
It was SO close to Crater of Diamonds State Park, which was our primary goal for our trip, which made it very convenient!

Stargazer Bell Tent
Nice experience in the Stargazer
Staying in the bell tent was comfortable. The whole place was peaceful and the ac kept the tent comfortable from the time we moved in (5:30 pm) until sun down, then the ac got the tent nice and cool. Beds were comfy, lightening bugs were out and several little kitties came to visit. It was fairly clean. The place is located on a small river so there are bugs. Some ants came in around the ac intake tube and my husband accidently stirred up a nest of wasps under a deck rail while looking for the source of the ants. The only negative was when the bed support rails fell off the bed frame when we laid down for the night about 11:45 pm. Luckily we had an Allen wrench and could tell how to properly assemble the bed frame. We fixed it and went back to bed. Reported the issue to the campgroud manager via text with pics so they could check it out before the next guests.

Clear Quartz Safari Tent
Could've been a one off experience
1) Emailed instructs from Hipcamp said location didn't have addrs & host would send GPS coords. An addrs was given, no GPS coords. needed 2) Hipcamp & host instructs confusing; hipcamp said "Host's written directions: text J.... for check in instructions and map". Instructions emailed from Global Glamping said - Map: upon arrival, a map of the property will be provided... If you have trouble finding it don't hesitate to reach out to "J..." for assistance. So I texed "J..." upon arrival to self report for check in, just a "Hi its ### family. We reserved ....for 2 nights..." and received this response: Hi there its self check in You would have been emailed the check in instructions...please check your email spam. I received instructs via email with the confirmation 7 days b4 trip; basically they don't want you to report your arrival; just text if you have issues or concerns about your accommodations. 3) When we arrived at the safari tent, the room ac was blowing very hot air. Outside temp was 93 deg F; it was cooler outside the tent. We could only open half the windows to help cool it down. I reported an issue with the ac and we were upgraded to a cabin with working ac. The cabin had not been cleaned from the previous guests. I chose to be mellow and cleaned the muddy shower, swept the floors and washed the dirty coffee cups. 45 min/an hr later staff arrived with clean towels, coffee cups & an apology. Beds were comfy. Cabin got nice and cool. Wifi worked great. Quiet night.
Specialty Cabin On A River Front
Camp site was nice. Very close to everything in the area. Secluded and peaceful. Never met anyone running site outside of text or email 😔. Slightly overpriced for what we got. Expected a little more than what I got, still not unhappy. Just expected more for the money spent. Site management needs improvement. Personal communication goes a long way for customer service. When the whole experience is digital communication, so much of the experience is lost. I was literally camping in someone's backyard that was not even running the site, to the best of my knowledge, and never met with anyone who was. All in all was just a place to sleep in peace. Guess I can't complain too much.

Great experience! We did the BYOT right on the river, fire pit was right there, firewood available, and our site was shaded. Bathhouse was kept clean and air conditioned. Very cool spot, quiet and peaceful, great river view especially in the early morning. Loved it and would definitely visit again!

Stargazer Bell Tent
Double Book Made Right
Our stay was nice. The tent was decked out with everything one may need. The tent was double booked, so we were upgraded to a different tent that was larger and had a good view of the river.
