Gothic Pod 2
Enjoyable weekend getaway.
Awesome little getaway. The pod was perfection. The host Dave was really chill and informative about the areas wildlife. He also has 2 sweet
doggies and a couple cats that randomly visited but didn't linger.
The PortaPotty was spotless and had only a clean odor. (Mind was blown) I only wish there was one closer to the pods for any night time visit.
There are possibilities for different camping styles and group size campsites. They also have classes available to teach easy to advanced survival. So overall a diverse wooded experience a hop away from civilization.
PS- bring bug spray. It rained and the mosquitos came out in force.

The Gothic Pod
Glamping in a pod
We were driving through Kansas looking for a fun motel alternative. We found Dave’s and did some glamping in one of his two pods. He hand built a very sweet structure out of beautiful knotty pine wood. Despite the hot outdoor temp, we were cool and bug free inside the air conditioned pod. There was a comfy full size bed, small frig, microwave, and a light. The area is quiet- much nicer than a state park. It’s in a shady little forest. There’s also a picnic table, outside shower, porta potty, fire circle and chair swings. Dave was a great host, pleasant, helpful and available to answer all our questions. If you’re looking for something a bit adventurous but not too rugged, check out the pods at Dave’s.
