“Great spot and setup. Was a little farther from the parking area than we anticipated (and it’s all uphill). The tent was great, with lots of space. The access code we were sent was incorrect, but we were able to call Tentrr and get the correct one. There was a propane heater in the tent, but no propane tank to fuel it.”
“Our trip was great! When we arrived, we realized that our tent was 2 miles up the mountain and we weren’t prepared at all for the hike. Hunter, our camp master let us move our reservation to tent E, which only 1/2 mile and a straight path to our tent. We’re so grateful that he let us move there! Our stay was peaceful. Very few people in the area, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We also enjoyed horseback riding through the mountain. Highly recommend this trip for someone looking for a tranquil adventure away from other people.
My only 2 complaints are: 1. The shower house closes at 6pm every day so you need to plan a shower accordingly and 2. The directions on how to get to the tent are unclear. We accidentally drove to someone’s house instead of the tent and had to scramble to find the tent.”
“Overall, this was a very fun trip and a cool location, but there are some caveats that are very important to mention.
1. If you're at site A, B, or C, there is no parking by the stables except for some spots where you can pull off the road to park. Our car was fine, but I'm not sure if this is technically allowed, and if you have a bigger vehicle this may not work for you.
2. The heat stove is VERY difficult to get going. Took us about an hour of messing with it to get it on, and we had to borrow a propane tank from another tank because ours was not equipped with one. Also, be careful leaving it on with a tent that is fully zipped up -- make sure you leave cracks for any leaked gas to escape, or it could quickly become dangerous.
3. The trails and the campsites at the top of the mountain are very overgrown (at least in summer). Not a lot of clear paths through the tall grass to get to your tent, which increases risk for ticks and snakes and makes it difficult to stay on path sometimes. The maps are accurate, but paths aren't always super clear. Keep an eye out for diamond shaped markers on the trees. If you take dogs, I'd recommend keeping them on leash because there's plenty of places for snakes to hide.
4. There is basically no cell service up here. We were able to get a little at the Cranny's Crow overlook, but please anticipate that if anything happens to you, you likely will not be able to get into contact with emergency services. This is not just true of the top of the mountain - the park, and much of the surrounding area, has no service. At the tent, you are several miles away from the next closest human, assuming no one else is staying up there when you are. Plan accordingly.
5. White Oak trail is a pretty decent incline, and can be slippery. Wear shoes with good grip.
We had a blast but this is definitely not an easy camping trip, so please take precautions, especially if you don't camp regularly!”
