Other things to note
MANAGING EXPECTATIONS:
Bertha Cabover Camping may not be for everyone if you are uneasy without your wifi, lights, running water or really any modern-day conveniences (there is okay cell phone reception) or on the contrary if bugs make you fidget or the quiet makes you nervous & you can't roll with occasionally unforecast rain, wind, fog or even foghorns! then this may not be your cup of tea (and that's ok). Be honest with yourself, does this listing sound intriguing or terrifying? please rethink before booking.
Please understand that the camp is a work in progress, undergoing constant improvements & various projects may be underway during your visit. We try to keep it tidy but realistically that just isn't always possible.
What we truly hope, what our vision from the beginning has been is that all our guests enjoy a unique, peaceful, handcrafted experience that brings each individual that much closer to our planet, respecting her maybe just a little bit more. Nine Mile Adventures hopes to provide you with a moment or more of tranquility and a fulfilling escape from society. Feel free to hug the trees
