Camp Ferncrest - Promised Land

My husband took me here for our Five year Wedding Anniversary and it was the most magical, romantic and cozy experience!!! I imagine this place being incredible all year round, but something about the fall just made Ferncrest feel like a fairy tale. It felt otherworldly, it was impressively clean, modern, beautiful and the team was very responsive on texts if we needed anything. We had a dome and it was perfect, it was remote, private and the view was the woods. It was the best way to disconnect from the internet and just be present. We can’t recommend this place enough it’s perfect for couples, friends, family! The bathrooms were immaculately clean and pretty! Hot water, heaters and appliances in the dome were great. The lattes and ice cream were delicious! Only thing to keep in mind it take a while to heat the hot tub but they warn about that ahead of time.
Amazing experience, amazing place! Would very happily go back any time!!!

I was taken to Ferncrest Promised Land for an overnight, as a surprise from my wife, and it was my favorite 24 hours of the year. I absolutely loved it. Our dome was well appointed, the king-sized (maybe even California king?) was high quality (very firm memory foam), and the wood-fed hot tub was very well engineered and got hot (and maintained heat) far more effectively than I expected.

The "self serve" general store (you enter a code to procure things like firewood, s'mores fixins etc and it goes to your credit card) was perfect and the pricing was quite fair. In fact all of the pricing for the experience was very reasonable. Bathrooms were clean, and a well provided clean potable water. Large meshed metal wagons were available for toting our bags/gear from the lot to our campsite.

I absolutely plan to make this an annual occurrence. I recommend early-mid October as the weather and foliage was as Fall as Fall can get. Promised Land State Park is right down the road and we enjoyed a beautiful hike along a gorgeous stream.

Again, my favorite 24 hours of the year. I really hope that this business succeeds for decades!

The grounds were nice, well kept, and modern. The showers were stocked with soap and shampoo. The rooms were clean and had a kettle, towels, hangars, mini fridge and microwave. However, it wasn’t as remote as I had hoped, it was right off of the road and you could hear passing cars and trucks as well as the people whose houses surround the site. The bathrooms were nice and stocked and so was the camp store. My biggest issue was the fact that the fresh water sources were closed so we were told we had to get our drinking water from the bathroom building sinks. Also firewood is not included for your tent stove, spa, or campfire and has to be purchased from the camp store for 10 dollars a bundle. We stayed 2 nights and spent just over 100 dollars just in firewood (it must be bought on site). After paying almost 500 for just 2 nights, I figured that would be the end of the cost. It should also be known that the area is surrounded by private property. You cannot walk in the woods outside of your tent and there is no access to hiking on site. You have to drive into the state park. It was a cool experience to try “glamping” for the first time, but for the money I’d rather camp on site in the state park so I can hike and be in the woods, or if I have to drive to the state park anyway, stay in a nice hotel and spend my 100 dollars on room service instead of wood I need to stay warm.

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and the camp exceeded our expectations. Our room was wonderful and cozy, with the little wood stove to keep us warm during the cold weather. We were very happy with our wood fired hot tub, and it was great to be able to take a dip on a sub 30 degree night. The fire pit out back with the cooking grate was great for our breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and really gave a fully camping feel. The camp store is quaint but had everything we needed like fire starters, wood, some merch, coffee, and tea. There is a small game room that had some board games and a few arcade games. The bathrooms were not a far walk and were always kept very clean and warm. The showers were also very clean. Any questions we had we texted the support number and got prompt responses. This was such a great expirence that we decided to make it a yearly trip. It was a great time away from our normal stressful lives. 10/10 would recommend.

We really had a great time for the weekend once we finally got settled in after some adjustments. Bathrooms were clean and nice so was the dome very cozy!

I give 4 stars since I had to shovel a sheet of ice at our door mat and almost fell while the onsite person just watched after asking him for a shovel. Nothing was cleared just foot step tracks besides the walkway to the door. Other people asked to borrow the shovel after us because nothing was done. For a $900 2 night stay would have been nice to not have to worry about putting in labor breaking ice to walk safely off our porch to use the bathroom or fire pit. Also would have been great if they cleared the snow off the deck all together because it was piled up 3 ft high against the dome and melting inside all over the electric outlets on the floor and our bags for 2 days.

After clearing the snow. We asked how to go about getting the hot tub going since it was frozen and the gentleman said he doesn’t recommend it would cost $40/50 in wood and still chance not getting to temperature. So that was a bummer thinking we had that option when booking then told don’t even attempt it’s not worth it. The people next to us tried to get theirs going and the whole barrel started to burn so we didn’t even attempt and chalked it up to the crappy temperature outside and we will use it next time if we come back. All in all we had a great experience just wish they would have taken care of removing snow and salting slippery surfaces right at the door step and melting snow on the inside. Having power strips on the floor in puddles of water isn’t the most comfortable feeling while sleeping
