Other Names | The Woods at Bear Creek, Bear Creek |
Last Known Status | Closed |
This 750 acre glamping resort at one time featured around 13 miles of marked ATV and UTV woods trails but is now closed. The trails were rated as moderately challenging that formed a long loop around the property with several mud pits scattered around.
The property also offered 25 tent sites, each with a wooden platform, cabin and cottage rentals that range from rustic to fully furnished and 80 RV sites. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to prevent a wasted trip.
