So far our little AC units have been working great, but please keep in mind, the primary purpose of the Air Condition units is to keep it comfortable when sleeping. During the day when we are hitting over 100 degrees, no AC unit is going to keep an uninsulated tent at a cool 60-70 degrees. Most of our guests have stuff planned during the day and come back in the evening so there are no issues. We just like to give everyone notice upfront.
If you are looking for a camping experience, but still want to enjoy the luxuries of home then our Big Bear tent is the one for you! We are 20 miles from Myrtle Beach, and just a short drive to beautiful downtown Conway, SC. There you will find shopping, amazing restaurants, and the Riverwalk.
Alongside the tent is a fire pit, picnic table, hammock, outdoor kitchen and gas grill.
Take a stroll on one of our many trails that backs up to the National Wildlife Refuge or fish at our pond.
We try to have everything you need to provide you with an AMAZING "Glamping" experience. Whether you are looking to sit by the camp fire, or just looking to cuddle up in our cozy queen size bed, our "Big Bear" tent is for you!
Inside you will find a cozy queen sized bed, two night stands, futon couch, giant 5' Memory Foam Bean Bag chair large enough for a child to sleep on, table and chairs, heater, fans, and extra blankets to keep warm on the chilly winter nights. We will also provide a coffee maker, plates, cups, and a few pots and pans to make all your essential camp meals. There is an outdoor kitchen with a refrigerator, prep area, lockable food storage, and a gas grill. You can't have true luxury without AC during our hot summer months, so all our places are now air conditioned!
You are welcome to set up at no more than 2 extra tents if you have extra guests. The booking of our tent includes up to 4 adults. A rate of $10 per person will apply for additional people.
Or we can set up an additional 2 or 6 person tent for an additional $50 for the first night and $25 each additional night. (Pets are not permitted in these tents)
