About this property
Furnished Glamping Tent/King Bed/Access to the Red River - Elusive Elk - #1
Experience pure relaxation within the enchanting shelter of a 320 SF Glamping Tent, nestled just a stone's throw from the tranquil waters of the Red River. The Dancing Deer beckons with its fully furnished sanctuary, boasting a king-sized bed, twin trundle bed, smart TV, fan, AC unit, coffee station, minifridge, microwave, internet access, firepit, grill, access to a bath house and an array of amenities. Despite the 10-minute drive to shops and restaurants, the area exudes a sense of serene seclusion.
Welcome to our enchanting glamping experience, where nature meets comfort in a unique canvas setting. As stewards of the great outdoors, we want you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of crisp nights and starlit skies. Please note that our tent is a true canvas structure without insulation, meaning that temperatures inside may reflect the cooler or warmer weather outside. While being canvas, this also means that it is nearly waterproof, however, wind can blow water underneath during bad storms.

We’re so happy to hear you loved your stay! Thank you for pointing out the clean bathrooms, showers, and tent—it means a lot to us. We’re also glad check-in was easy. Can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit!
This was a last minute getaway for our anniversary, and what really sold us was the tents are dog friendly. We stayed in tent 1, which was a little behind the rest of the tents. The only problem with the tent was the mosquito net had a big tear in it next to the zipper, it was not a big deal for the humans, but the dogs didn’t understand not to go through it and kept getting caught. The tent and bathrooms were both extremely clean, if not for enjoying sitting out by a fire I would have never realized I was even camping. I would highly recommend this site for anyone who is looking to go camping but also wants to enjoy all the amenities with electricity.

Thank you so much for spending your anniversary getaway with us! We’re so glad you and your pups enjoyed your stay and that our dog-friendly tents helped make the trip possible. It’s wonderful to hear you found the tent and bathhouse extremely clean and enjoyed the mix of camping and modern comforts like electricity and cozy amenities.
We also truly appreciate you pointing out the tear in the mosquito net. We’ll make sure it gets repaired right away so future guests — both human and furry — have an even smoother experience. Thank you again for the recommendation, and we’d love to host you all again for another relaxing escape in the Gorge!
Beautiful place, great accommodations and we loved the evening fires next to the river.

The bed was amazing. Best sleep I've had in a while! The bathrooms could've been a bit cleaner, but I understand... it's not a hotel. It's a campsite.

Thank you for sharing that! We're so glad the heated blankets kept you cozy through the chilly nights. It sounds like the perfect way to stay warm while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We'd love to host you again anytime!
The only negative thing was the shower doors did not lock!!! Not great privacy or safety. And it’s in a flood zone which isn’t advertised that way. Other wise, we loved Glamping here!! Beds are very comfortable.

We can’t wait to welcome you back and are grateful for your kind words!
This property was exactly as described! Everything went smoothly from unloading and checking in, to packing up and leaving. The only helpful tip I have is to make note of the password before arrival, as there is no cell service without it. Which was perfectly good either way for us.We had excellent weather and wanted to get away solely for the purpose of spending some quiet time to paint rocks in honor of my special needs daughter that had recently passed away. It was the perfect retreat for us!We’re already thinking about our return visit!
