Great spot! Tent had everything we needed including bedding, pillows, a cute little table and chairs. GPS took us in on a mile long goat path. Not sure a car would make it in but we found a much better route out. Very secluded and private. The stars at night were amazing. Really enjoyed it.
Beautiful land beautiful tent! Camping in this spot was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. I loved waking up to the serene views around us.
I was very disappointed that I had to sit in the dirt to open a cheap lock. I was given the wrong combination and when I called the owner, he didn't even know the exact numbers. I kept guessing until I got it right and it opened. Also, bring ear plugs. The trains nearby are frequent and LOUD. They woke us up every time one passed. Bed was nice and comfy and inside was clean. They need to get a different kind of lock and have it at top of zippers. Not at the bottom in the dirt
We loved staying at Starlight! It is our second time and we'll stay again. So comfy and easy to access on our way through the area.
It was awesome! Know what you are getting into though. This is bare bones, don't expect luxury amenities. What you're getting is some distance between you and the city. And a great view of the stars. This is all about the nighttime sky. The tent is WELL protected from the wind and cold. Tent comes with a few items like a lamp, a space heater, book with local information. A bench outside, a table and two chair inside the tent. Its lovely.
