Rock Wren Hideaway

We loved our stay at the Rock Wren Hideaway! We could not believe how spacious and nice the tents were inside; it felt like walking into a Harry Potter tent! We went to both Castle Rocks State Park and City of Rocks while we were there. It was a very easy drive from the campground. City of Rocks gets very busy so it was nice to camp outside of the park. When driving home, our son asked if we were related to the hosts, because of how nice they were. We aren’t related, but they just made us feel very welcomed and really took care of us! We will be back!

Wow! I was so impressed by Rock Wren Hideaway. My group was headed to the City of Rocks, and this location could not be more perfect. Super close, and so much more comfortable and a very different experience than just camping out. The service was very friendly and personable. The rooms were spacious, super cute, and so comfortable too. Can’t wait to go back!!

The Rock Wren Hideaway exceeded our expectations and made our first yurt-camping experience one to remember. The yurt itself was clean, spacious, and cutely decorated! But the service was so welcoming and accommodating to our every needs- they gave us extra cots to sleep on and even included a s'mores basket! Sofia, Derek, Phoebe, and Ethan were able to give tips and insight about Castle Rocks and the City of Rocks which made our trip run that much smoother and just great people to talk to! It's just 10 minutes away from both parks and is a must-see (especially for climbers)! The location was absolutely gorgeous with the brightest stars we've ever seen and gorgeous sunsets, but the most fascinating part was their historically rich property that includes the Oregon and California trail. Even though we live far away, we are going to make sure to come back and visit. 10/10 recommend Rock Wren Hideaway for anyone looking for a getaway place in a beautiful location:)

This was the best camping experience! I struggle camping because we have 9 kids and it takes too much work for me. This was amazing - they had everything we needed. The food was so delicious! The tents/rooms were big and beautiful! The beds were super comfy! And the Bates are the nicest people ever - they know all about the parks and their place is very close to City of Rocks and Castle Rocks! It was great to be able to just go enjoy time with my family without any of the stress. They are still developing everything - it is already awesome and it is only going to get better!

Definitely the best way to glamp! The tents were beautiful and clean, and they set up really comfortable cots for us. First time camping where I was warm enough to sleep! They provided food for us, so we got the fun of the campfire without any hassle of trying to pack in food. Also, the stars were breathtaking! Brightest I've ever seen. Definitely recommend!
