Little Raccoon Key

For me and my husband’s birthdays, I booked a private glamping experience with a separate fishing charter and meals from their chef, so needless to say, it was expensive. They gladly took my money, then NEVER responded again! I even wanted to add an extra day. I sent multiple messages with some simple questions and got nothing in return. I finally emailed them to tell them I was cancelling and they still never responded, YET they kept my money. DON’T EVER GO HERE!

We booked this trip based on the LRK website pictures, information and other reviews. Our stay was on June 8, 2018. While the island was as stated, the tent was not a "glamping" tent as advertised. We paid almost $400 per night for our stay. The tent screens were torn on both ends of the tent. Concrete cinder blocks were holding down the tent floor on both ends. The tent had a hole in it where the stove pipe exited the tent. It rained in the afternoon and flooded the tent floor. The tent was advertised as a place to get out of the weather- where you would not get wet. While the tent may have been in good shape for the other reviewers, when we arrived the tent was in very poor shape, dirty, screens torn so bad that they need replacing. While the campsite does have a toilet, it is a typical outdoor camping toilet like you would find in a pop up camper, not what you would expect at an advertised "Glamping" luxurious tent facility. We asked for and received an early pick after only one night. We were well prepared for the typical weather, bugs, and raccoons that inhabit the island. We did not feel like we got what we paid for, almost $400 a night for a "Glamping" luxurious experience due to the condition of the tent. We have documented the condition of the tent. On pick up, we had a walk through with the property owner and pointed out the shape the tent was in. If you are looking for a "Glamping" luxurious camping experience then I would ask the owner if the tent been repaired and cleaned. At almost $400 a night the tent should be in pristine condition, clean, intact, and appear as advertised in the promotional pictures. We booked a 3 night stay, but due to the tent condition we left after 1 night. We have asked the owner for a refund for the 2 nights unused. So far he has refused.
Just a few of the pictures taken to document the condition of the tent and campsite.

I wanted to do something special for my 50th birthday and when my husband found Little Raccoon Key while researching Jekyll Island I knew it was where I wanted to go. Calvin and Dave made the ride over to the island one filled with a lot of history about the area; they are great tour guides. The island is beautiful and very diverse; you will see beaches, marshes, and tidal wetlands. We really enjoyed spending today exploring and I took tons of pictures. What I am posting here is just a small subset, if you go on Facebook and search for Little Raccoon Key you should be able to see the album of pictures I posted. We had them provide our meals and everything was easy to reheat and tasted wonderful. The tent takes glamping to a whole new level. We both slept great. Well at least until the raccoons decided to walk on the roof of the tent. There is a reason they call it Little Raccoon Key! We are already planning on our return visit next spring.

Sarah and I had the best weekend ever here! The king bed and toilet were really nice for our style of “glamping”! Calvin, James, and Dave were a wealth of information about the history of the island and surrounding areas. It was absolutely magical. I recommend it to anyone that is up for a breath taking adventure! We found art made by nature, and even caught our breakfast! I give this trip five stars~outstanding

Beautiful island! Definitely must check out if near Jekyll Island. Great getaway for couples, parties, or just a solo vacation. Some of the best sunsets and sunrises we’ve seen!!
