Expect kids and dogs roaming and playing across the expansive property. Family-friendly amenities include a resort-style pool, an open-air lodge with games and fire pits, stargazing opportunities, and an outdoor drive-in theater. This theater comes with nine restored classic cars and classic concessions, playing movies every night.
Families will love deluxe cabins sleeping up to four people, complete with a queen bed and queen-sized sofa sleeper. Cabins come with a private outdoor deck, firepit and picnic table, as well as an en-suite bathroom and private outdoor showers.
No bagged lunches or fast food stops are required here. Families can enjoy a meal from the food truck or a D.I.Y. meal kit from the general store, which comes with pre-packaged and seasoned protein, veggies and s’mores. The store also sells grab-and-go food and drinks for a day of exploring.
