This was a great place to stay! Close to several parks with hiking, and minutes away from Carbondale area. Pool and hot tub were great additions that my daughter loved. They also have a sweet dog that came to see us nightly and play fetch. Definitely recommend for a affordable stay
I had an excellent experience staying at this place! The camper was very clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable stay for my family. The hot tub and pool were absolutely amazing and provided great relaxation and fun for everyone. The host was very responsive and quick to reply to any questions I had. The host provided detailed instructions on how to get to the property. We traveled with our kids, who are 1½, 5, and 13 years old, and they all had a fantastic time. It’s a wonderful spot for families looking to enjoy some quality time together. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again in the future!
We had a great time glamping at this location. Everything was clean and organized for our stay. When we forgot things the owners were so kind and delivered what we needed within 15min. Thank you for your kindness to our family. We hope to visit again in the future.
My best friend and I stayed in "The Outback" for a single night after a concert @ Walker's Bluff Casino. The property is beautiful and remote, yet easy to find! The private hot tub was a huge bonus! Kevin provided us with excellent accommodations while we were there! We're definitely looking forward to our next stay!
We had an amazing stay! The RV was super clean, comfortable, and much nicer than we expected for the price. It was very well kept and had everything we needed.The pool was really nice and was a great place to relax. One of the highlights of our trip was the friendly dog that came down to play fetch with us. He even came back to visit us at the camper the next day, which made our stay even more memorable!My siblings and I all had such a great time that we were saying we definitely want to come back. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, relaxing, and affordable getaway! And the host is super nice hes a chill guy
The camper had some minor issues but Kevin the host was quick to respond and help. The hot tub is great and its a very relaxing stay for a visit to SIU.
We had a very nice time, the property was well maintained, fish were biting well, overall great experience. The dogs on property were very well trained and pleasant to have around. Will definitely be coming back.

Had a trip planned with my family to do some "glamping" near Shawnee National Forest. These listings came up with glowing reviews for campers (exactly what we were looking for) and my kids were very excited for the stay. The price was right and looked to offer just what we were seeking. We booked the stay, but at arrival the unit was littered with bugs (mostly stink bugs). Now, the weather was extremely hot for that time of year, but there must have been between 50-100 bugs inside.I immediately tried to contact the host, but had no luck. We walked around the camp area, which is mainly a house up on a hill, and two other campers, to give the owner some time to respond. An hour went and no response. I then contacted VRBO support who attempted to contact and provide some type of resolution. We waited around for 2 hours, calls, messages, emails, etc., and decided the stay would not be happening there. The disappointment that my kids felt was immense. In tears as they were very excited for "camping", the camper, hot tub, etc., but we weren't going to stay in a unit that felt unlikely to keep bugs out. Unfortunately, we had to get a nearby hotel which took away the experience we were looking for. The refund process was not seamless (somewhat due to VRBO fees) and took some work. I will say, had the bugs not been there, I think the camper and site would have been fine for the price. I don't like leaving a bad review like this, but other guests should know why and have a plan B.
My husband our 15 year old and 3 year old niece stayed again here. We love it. the host is fast to reply to any of our needs. 2 dogs came up to see us again super friendly dogs. Will definitely be back again when it warms up.
Overall good 2night stay clean camper and camp area family loved the privet hot tub if had a complaint would be was hard to fish everything was over grown cant get to the pond besides a dock to fish from no biggie unless you go yo fish but great stay will go back again
