Magic is a guarantee!

This site lives up to the name magic, 100%. Gorgeous, peaceful, well spaced out, just a lovely spot to be, the land feels GOOD. Highly recommend any of the glampsites, although primitive campers have great location options. The glamps are creative, well appointed, and each has a whimsy unique to itself. And don’t miss getting in the River, it’s cold but worth it!

Barren River Magic Peace Pipe Site

Peace Pipe

We had an amazing time staying here!! All the views were amazing from the cabin and everything was so peaceful. We didn’t hear anyone else, just the rain and wind blowing and an occasional bark. I loved the idea of their outdoor shower stalls. The hosts were so nice and helpful! We will definitely be coming back in the future
