My husband, two dogs and I enjoyed ourselves at Barney Creek Retreat. The yurt was extremely clean and was very cute. We felt like we had the place to ourselves and the views are beautiful. The dogs enjoyed walking along the creek and it was nice that we were able to keep them off leash during our stay.
I was worried about the shower house but it was also extremely clean and convenient. If you've used camping bathrooms in the past, this one is leaps and bounds better than any of those!
Our firewood pile was stocked full and having water at the picnic table was handy for washing dishings. I recommend bringing a bucket to collect the water as well as a camping stove. Although there is a microwave in the yurt, the camping stove was helpful for cooking breakfast and other side dishes!
We had a great weekend here and highly recommend it for couples and/or families looking to have a relaxing weekend enjoying the Ozarks!
