Our covered wagons are a new and absolutely unique way to experience small town life!
You'll share the 4 acre Cozy Heron Glamping property with others who may be guests in one of our 5 covered wagons. These wagons are also climate controlled, with air conditioning and heat. There is a community stone patio with a firepit. There is also a gas grill available for our guests, along with some basic grilling supplies. We also provide a few board games, card decks, puzzles, and a giant Jenga tower 😎 Bedding, linens, along with towels, are provided to all of our guests. We also provide 4 bottles of water, on check-in day, because the wagons do not have running water. Running water, hot and cold, are available in the bath house.
We have one bath house with two full bathrooms (toilet, sink, shower) where shampoo, shower gel, lotion, and hand soap are provided. The bath house is a short walk up from where the wagon circle is situated on the property. One set of keys to the bath house are provided inside each wagon.
We are right next-door to a popular river outfitter where you can rent canoes, kayaks, and SUPs. They also offer paddling classes, SUP yoga flow instruction, summer youth day camps, and river tubing! Raven Rock State Park is 15 minutes up the road. There are countless farms, breweries, parks, antique and boutique shops, restaurants, and country roads for y'all to explore out here!
*Please note that our property is ****IN***\* the town limits of Lillington, right along a beautiful stretch of the upper Cape Fear River. You'll hear sounds of the town, including traffic during the day. However, the property is still very scenic and only for use by guests of The Cozy Heron Glamping. \*
In other words: there's a lot to do in these here parts! We'd love to have you stay with us and explore all the amazing things central North Carolina has to offer!
You may unload your luggage and personal items in the unloading area near the main gate. Then, please move your vehicle to the paved parking lot in front of the Cape Fear River Adventures rustic cabin.
We recently visited Lakeside Retreats. It was an amazing location and we will be back. They have yurts, glamping, outdoor and indoor showers, a sauna, a private lake and more. It was such an amazing spot! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and fun stay in or around Raleigh.
Ive stayed 3 times with my family in 3 different yurts. They’re always clean and having bathrooms and showers available is always a plus. Def recommend for a little getaway.
This place was fun to stay at a few years ago when they offered tent camping for $20 a night. They got rid of that and now they want $200 a night. It turned into a tree hugging weirdo hangout with them playing loud music and bright lights all night long. And it's a pond, not a lake. Considering that there arent many camping places in this area they ruined this place. What a shame...
This property is so great for a getaway and glamping experience. The Yurts are super spacious and are right near the lake with beautiful views. The property is great to walk around and the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend and I will definitely go again. I flew into RDU, rented a camper van, and heading to Lakeside Retreats on a 4 night camping adventure. I reserved one of the lakeside spots and stared over the lake envious of the yurts. But, I actually had the perfect setup and walking the property to explore was easy. There was music at night and the sound and lighting was extremely professional. Across from the lake the stage music was not intrusive. Next time I visit, my only struggle will be… deciding to rent a camper van again or try and reserve one of those yurts.
