First time glamping review
This was our first time “glamping” so we weren’t sure what to expect. Now we know that “glamping” is still just camping, except with a bigger tent and an actual bed. The shade hut was nice to hang out in though and the shower was also cool! But we were ill prepared for the amount of spiders and mice. Two things that you totally SHOULD expect to see when CAMPING. The tree swing was fun! I’m sad I waited until our last day to try it. And having a fridge and a coffee maker was nice. But if you can only fall asleep to the sound of crickets, then this place is NOT for you. The bullfrogs are unreal! They make sounds ranging from “beginner trombone player” to actual frog to “accidental bathtub fart”. When we first arrived at camp (in the dark of the night) and heard the frogs, I wondered if it was an elk or a cow I was hearing. Nope. A bullfrog. You quickly get used to it. And luckily I sleep with earplugs anyway, but even still, it was loud. The only real complaint I have is that the boat was so dirty we didn’t use it. We honestly could have easily sprayed it out, but my husband wasn’t too stoked on paddling around the very murky water. Someone left a review about staying at this camp when it was raining. I bet that would be magical! I’d recommend a springtime stay. While we were there (June) it was kind of hot and muggy.
John was a very hospitable host. We had everything we needed.
Maybe just calibrate your expectations a little if you decide to give Duck Pond Glamping a try.
