We came with 3 other families and got 2 glamping tents, a bell tent, and a set-up-your-own tent so I was able to enjoy the entire facility. The bathrooms were exceptional for the environment โ€” plenty of showers and no lines. I have 5 kids 6 months to 9 years and they loved every minute, especially the pond with ducks.
