The Eco Camp — Hotel in The Plains

If you love peace, quiet, and natural surroundings you'll love a nights stay at The ECO Camp. Upon entering the camp of lotus belle tents, the path sports warm solar lights that light up your walk to your luxurious nights stay at this one of a kind home away from home. Through the woods the path is wide and clear to the lotus belle tents. At the entrance to the tent you have a shoe bin to store your personal footwear in to keep them clean and dry. Upon entering the lotus belle you see a nice large bed, don't sit down because upon testing out the bed you may fall asleep. The layout is simple but functional. Soft rugs adorn the floor so barefoot or socks it's very comfortable to walk on. There's a spare cot just inside the tent as well as a fold out wooden table the inside is spacious and feels cool even with the hotter weather . With screened vents that sit across from one another the air flow and breeze makes for great sleeping and lounging weather. The soft light from solar lanterns and small Chinese lamps creates a soft ambiance of light. I slept like a baby the weather was hot too but very comfortable inside the tent. The whole feel of the eco camp is worry free and laid back. The campfire spot that's located just past the entrance is great too with a community feel you can cook right over the fire using the grill grate that swings over the pit. If I get the opportunity to stay again I will, it was one of the newest peaceful and exciting experiences I had the pleasure of having. Thank you for the...

Alex is an incredible host! He really goes the extra mile in providing for his guests, even during the pandemic. The campsite is beautiful and clean, the amenities are great, and the tents are very comfortable. He was also very eager to improve the experience for future guests, always looking for feedback on what could be done better.

Alex is very quick to respond; the only delay we ever experienced was a technical difficulty and even that was resolved quickly. He even anticipated our needs before we did! He texted us throughout our stay when he was heading to the store to see if we needed anything, and often was providing things we wanted before we even had to ask. He is also very friendly and easy to talk to (and funny!). We definitely spent some time hanging out and chatting with him!

Our group went on the paddle boarding trip with him and had an amazing time. We were able to see some of the bald eagles in the area as they flew overhead. Alex was very patient and did a great job making us feel comfortable and teaching us as we paddle boarded for the first time.

I cannot recommend the Eco Camp enough. It's a comfortable location that you can really tell has been put together with a lot of love and no...

Hands down one of the best and most unique getaway experiences I've had. This is the best way to go camping but still having a sort of luxury experience. The tents were so cute with how they were decorated and the bed was very comfortable. For a one man operation, The Eco Camp is very cleverly crafted and it seems like everything was thought of. This getaway was a surprise to me from my boyfriend, and I had some initial concerns about staying here - especially considering it was going to be about 20° overnight. However, Alex (the owner) quickly dispelled all of my concerns by showing us how to use the heating stove that is in every tent and explaining to us everything we needed to know so we would have a good experience. He was also very good about giving us space while also being available any time we needed him with a quick text. And if you want, he'll even bring you waffles, coffee, and tea in the morning. The waffles are phenomenal. An absolute bargain at its price considering what a unique destination it is, how close to oak openings we were, and how wonderful the host is. We will 100% be back and will recommend this to anyone that is looking to get away from life for...
