Deluxe Camping Accomodations
Comfort matters! On this deluxe camping tour you’ll have plenty of elbow and head room because we pitch 4- to 6-person, high quality tents as home for no more than two adults. Kids to age 16 sleep in comfortable 2- to 4-person dome style tents that we limit to 1-2 guests. Adults nestle into high-quality, queen-size inflatable beds, raised to normal bed height and adjustable for firmness, with 400-count sheets, real pillows and a comforter. The kids zip into sleeping bags cushioned on an inflatable 2-inch mattress. Adult tents are carpeted with sisal rugs, furnished with nightstands and lanterns, and supplied with luxury bath amenities such as a Crabtree and Evelyn’s "Naturals Nourishing Travel Kit".
