"Excellent private campground with top notch amenities that made it feel more of a “glamping” type experience vs rugged camping. Super comfy setups. Each site has its own shade seating area with a table and chairs, along with a propane grill and stove, a wagon to move things from your car to site, solar powered lighting. Bathrooms were immaculately clean, showers and sinks were a great plus. Free fat tire bike rentals and a beautiful 2.5 mile trail with art and stunning mountain views. Sunsets were gorgeous. It was clear that everything was very thoughtful and intentionally set up - kudos to the campground owners."

We stayed at tent site #4. It has three tent pads, an outdoor kitchen with water, grill, hammock, fire pit, and lawn games. The kitchen is stocked with essentials like dish soap and scrubber, hand soap, a few cooking tools, cutting board, some coffee, and things like that. We honestly felt so well taken care of!"

"Our group of 20 had a great time camping at Ramble's group site! I came in knowing the site was only open a week before we touched ground and it was great to hear Ramble wanted our feedback to make the site better! They were responsive to any issues we had throughout our two nights. Everyone raved about the site, the kitchen, the awesome showers, and how great the camping pads were. If you are looking for a place to host a group camping trip around the Dunes, look no further."
