My husband and I Glamp'd at Wildhaven from Friday 9/30-Sun 10/2, and we had a blast.
I was worried about the freeway, kid noises, and tents being close by-- but it did not bother me at all (and I'm sensitive to noises). They provide really great earplugs and the only thing I heard was my husband's snoring-- but that's another story.
If you're looking for absolute silence, this is not for you. Yes, you'll hear cars during the day and at night if you don't use the earplugs, and yes you may hear your neighboring tent here and there-- but you just have to come with an open mind and choose to have fun regardless or you can knit pick the little things and be a negative Nancy-- your choice.
LOVE: The proactive communication from what to pack a week before you arrive to the day of text of arrival, I was so impressed!!!!! The friendly service, the very clean bathrooms/showers/sinks with warm water, the comfortable bed, the concert (NICK, YOURE AMAZING!!), wine tasting, the store (board games to borrow for family fun, water, swag, beer, wine, s'mores, cheese, water, gelato bars, etc), tube rentals (free air pump if you bring your own tube), you can buy ice &wood (~$13) on-site, easy access to the River to float down and hike back up on (highly recommend water shoes/sandals), how close Big Johns Market was and it had everything there, nearby hiking area, surrounded by wineries, and a casino a few minutes away if that's your jam.
Minor Opportunities to make it even that much better: some sort of shelving/drawers in the tent, food lockers for coolers (apparently there's raccoons, but we left our cooler out-- no issue), enforce a no speaker usage (I swear this was a policy on the website, but no one enforced it)-- I didn't mind it, but there were some music selections with profanity and strong percussion that I can see how it would disrupt the whole area. Im not a fan of speakers in nature, but if someone played the guitar around the camp fire, I think that would be more acceptable.
Other than that, our weekend was pretty epic. Thank you Wildhaven, we'll be back again.
Shout out to Jordan for coming to our tent and giving us an orientation and taking a picture for us, Red for helping us build our fire in the dark and giving us pointers, Nick Foxer for an epic concert-- impressed with his vocal range and how he engaged the crowd the whole time, Jeremy with Kokomo Winery for the lovely wine tasting experience and charming personality, and the lovely lady in the store who was very kind. THANK YOU!
