Bull Pine also offers a kitchen with gas stove & oven. Guests can enjoy free coffee & make coffee with our Keurig, which has both drip and pod coffee. No microwave: you're camping after all! The Trailer is also a lounge with table & chairs, as well as couch. This space also has a queen bedroom which may be offered in emergencies, by need, or even may be rented during the Winter, when camping slows down. Finally, the trailer is also the Camper Commissary, where camp supplies are offered.

There is a limit of 4 adults at each campsite, & a limit of two adults at the a-frame, Falling Waters. Children are certainly allowed if the number is over 4 in your party. If you have more than 4 adults, you need to book more than 1 site. Falling Waters & Sweet Springs are great options because they are the two sites that are closest together.

Sweet Springs is the only site that requires 4x4 capable vehicles, though we do have a 2x4 entrance for emergencies (we prefer not to use this entrance because it is not graveled, &  is harmful to our grass.). We can also take you to your campsite via golf cart--available by request only.
