Absolutely loved this glamping experience and the overall quality of the appliances provided within the tent. Was evident that Mike and Di had invested time and energy into paying attention to detail to make this work for us non campers. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a slightly different experience near Kings Canyon National Park.

We had a fantastic time in Dome 3. We stayed for 6 nights and it was great. We bought food on the way in and were able cook and store everything. The Dome and private bathroom had everything we needed. We went into the National Parks every day. It was an easy 15 minute drive to the entrance of Kings Canyon. We had a five year and she slept on the futon sofa. Also, the bed is a king bed so there was plenty of room for the three of us. She loved staying in the dome and exploring the property. We would definitely recommend this property.
Great Property! Great place to escape and visit the National Parks in the area!

Fantastic stay! The dome was a great way to go glamping while still being in nature. The hot plate and grill were very nice to cook and the shower had really fast hot water!
This stay was a spectacular serene wilderness getaway. The area was clean and the place felt very secure. The site had gorgeous views. It far exceeded expectations and was the perfect spot to explore the national parks. Would highly recommend!!
The driveway was a bit narrow and bumpy so vehicles with low clearance should use caution.
