I'm glad I did it…read moreon a weekday since my friend who did the trail 2 days later on Sunday said the trail was packed. Very clearly marked trail and not a lot of elevation changes most of the way except for the area around the arch. Gray's arch is very beautiful, fascinating how features like these are shaped by nature. After the arch area, there is a forested area with streams that is fun. Overall, the trail is not too long, has interesting sights to see and not very strenuous.

I've been here several times, sometimes for just a day, and a few times camping nearby. You can take the sky lift up to the natural bridge, or you can hike up. There is a short trail (1/3 of a mile) that leads to a nice overlook where you can view the natural bridge from a distance. There are birds and wildlife to observe. And it is nice to visit in different seasons. There are good restaurants and touristy places to shop in the area too.

Trails around Lago and are not marked but clearly visible. They are very easy trails. Kayaks are available. Lifejackets are available. Propane grills were available on the cabin porches. Just make sure when you check before you get there that you have a full propane tank. Firewood is for sale or you can buy it at the nearby groceries or gas stations on your way in. Speaking of groceries and there's an IGA and Save A Lot within 20 minutes, gas stations, liquor, stores, Family Dollar and there's a downtown Berryville with shops. Farmers markets are seasonal. Check-in is super simple. They will email you a code to get into the door. You don't have to stop by and or check in with the office. We never met the owners. We met personnel on the campground. There's also docks that you can go sit at, gazebo, picnic tables. The actual cabin had towels, hand soap in the bathroom, dish soap, basic pots and pan utensils knives but if you want anything special, I highly recommend you packing it. Definitely want your seasonings food. There's a microwave. There's a coffee pot that uses filters for the 12 cup coffee maker. WiFi Cable tv Fire pit Two chairs on the porch great views There's plenty of sleep space with blankets sheets pillows, comfy couches small shower. We went to Wild Fork Stables to horse back riding. 30 mins away. At least 45 mins from Natural Bridges. There's a grocery gift shop 10 mins from Lago Bear Creek

My husband and I planned a fun weekend camping trip as our last one of the year, and after some…read morerecs from friends, decided to book sites at Lago Linda Hideaway. The booking process was decently easy; however, we were disappointed to see that it cost an additional $27 to choose your site, which felt steep and unnecessary. We forewent the cost and selected the option to have staff choose our site. We arrived around 8:30PM due to some hiccups on our travels. The office was still open and the place was busy. My husband went and checked us in. Since we hadn't selected a site, nor had they selected one for us, they gave us our choice of the 3 remaining sites. We drove around a few times and eventually landed on Piney Ridge #2. It was tricky to maneuver our truck/tent into the spot, but we managed. The woman who checked us in (one of the owners, I believe), said she didn't know that there was an extra charge to select your site or an option not to... seems like good info for them to know... Each site is supposed to come with it's own water and electric hookups. Sadly that wasn't the case for us. We had to call the front and ask to borrow 40ft of extension cords in order to use the electric AND had to ask the neighbor to unplug from one of the two outlets at HIS site. We also had to go into his camp or the other neighbor's whenever we wanted water. It wasn't the end of the world; just wasn't what we paid for. The campground is exttremely quiet after quiet hours (11PM), during the night, and in the AM. Super peaceful. It was also quiet during the day. The only time it was crazy was from 8-11PM when folks in their RVs were blasting music and partying. There are two bathrooms with showers and hot water. Be warned that one of them wasn't heated and I only got 2 min of hot water for my shower. They also aren't very clean or updated, but they certainly did the trick. They are also a HIKE from several of the sites, including ours, so be ready to go to the bathroom in the woods at night. The property itself is pretty and the skies were SO clear I think I saw more stars in one night than I have seen in years, cumulatively. The lake was the highlight. My husband and I spent an evening sitting on the dock talking and it was silent and peaceful and beautiful. There are several shared facilities on the property-- like a heated lounge area with a kitchen and a large covered deck and a communal dish washing station (which we used twice). Overall we had a REALLY good weekend and would stay here again. We like a mix of roughin' it and creature comforts when camping and that is just what Lago Linda delivered. I have a feeling we will stay here again!

We wanted something interesting to do and we have never driven off road, so Hollerwood Park was our choice. We rented a Polaris RZR and spent 4 hours on some incredible trails. They have anything from easy to outright insane. We stayed on the easy green trails. The four hours is not nearly enough time to cover just the easy trails and if you are adventurous there are even more advanced trails waiting for you. The Polaris was in excellent shape, almost new. It was a pleasure to drive. The suspension on the machine made the rough trails smooth. There was some mud, so keep that in mind as you pick your clothes. Dress like you are going on a hike. It was a total blast. The experience was totally worth it!

First tip - get there early so you can explore the general area. We had a little time, so we hiked to Balanced Rock for some great views and some photo ops. "Gorge Underground" is an abandoned limestone mine (where they accidentally struck water and flooded it beyond use). Luckily, it's great for a kayaking adventure! Our guides were super nice and very informative. With one in front, and one bringing up the rear, you were free to wander (just a little) versus single-file through a boring tour. The experiences is just really cool. At one point, we ended up in the farthest-in part of the cave, and we all turned off our headlamps. Pitch dark. The guide had some funny stories, but then asked if it was anyone's birthday coming up (it was my son's in a couple days). So we all sang happy birthday to him (but he couldn't be embarrassed - it was dark and nobody knew who he was!). After finishing our 90 minute tour, it was time to dock. My wife and I lagged behind to be the last ones out, giving us probably 10 extra minutes of "taking it all in". One regret is that we didn't plan ahead enough to get the clear kayaks with LED lights. That would have been another layer of "cool". I would recommend to anyone. The water is still as can be, so it's a gentle paddle that anyone can do.

It cost ~$120, $24 per route, actual ziplining experience was like 30 seconds per route. Yes fun, but very expensive when you consider $ / amount of actual experience.
