Welcome to Backcountry Glamping & Wild Escapes.

At Backcountry Glamping, we value ourselves and our families. We value our children and our friends.  We value clarity in wellness and connection to spirit.  

We value awareness of man's need to connect to the earth and the task given to us to provide that connection. 

From these values, our mission statement was born- to reconnect people to themselves, each other, and our natural environment through holistic immersive experiences. 

"I am happy out here. Dirty feet, messy hair & wild water on my skin. Out here where the wild things are; this is where I belong." -Brooke Hampton
