Glamping at Haven of Hope near Little River Canyon! Named Happy Glamper RV, this RV offers a peaceful retreat on the private 14+ acre Haven of Hope retreat near Little River Canyon National Preserve. Relax on the very large private deck beside the fire pit with your favorite drink, and enjoy views through a canopy of trees. Native plants and a variety of wildlife can be seen in the morning as you enjoy that first cup of coffee or hot tea. Listen close for the footsteps of deer that run frequently through the woods. Take a nap in the large double hammock, or go for a walk in the woods on two easy walking trails - Rippling Brook Walking Trail and Lost and Found Walking Trail. Each trail is perfect for picnics on the ground and has access to a swing-for-two in the woods! Rippling Brook Walking Trail leads to a creek that runs through the property. Renew, refresh, and be restored!
Not long after you turn onto the private road that winds through the 14+ acre retreat called Haven of Hope, you will drive past Serenity Escape Treehouse on your right (also listed and available - sleeps 6), two walking trails and then Peaceful Hideaway Treehouse on your left (also listed and available - sleeps 6). Keep driving up the one-way private road (descending/exiting vehicles should yield to incoming/ascending vehicles and back up until space to pass). Once at the top, you will see Happy Glamper RV and the large deck area. The gravel parking area between the deck and the hammock allows you to park one vehicle near the RV (contact host to inquire about parking for a second vehicle).
