Frequently asked questions
What time do we “pitch it” and break down?
Typically for glamping sleepovers we set up and break down our tents between 10:00am - 3:30pm. For lounge or picnic tent bookings, we set up and break down the same day or depending on what time your event begins and ends. For setting up in a day use area of a park, park times will need to be observed and times to set up and break down depend on the park’s hours and access to site. We are happy to discuss times that work for you to make your event happen smoothly. During heat advisories we will set up and break down glamping tents prior to noon.
Where do we “pitch it”?
For glamping sleepovers, we set up at your home, in your yard or private property. We DO NOT set up in campgrounds; some exceptions can apply, contact us to discuss your location. We do not want to replace traditional camping. And multiple fire pits are messy and create flying debre that stain our tents. Backyard firepits are ok, but please let us know ahead of time if you plan to use it while renting our tents.
For group gatherings please contact us to talk about site location and number of tents needed. We DO set up at Hornings Hideout, in North Plains, OR. They are and outdoor wedding facility with group areas where we have set up in the past, weather permitting. Check out their site at www.horningshideout.com.
For picnic and lounge tents, we can set up at your home or property. We can also set up, just for the day, at local parks that have day use areas. In public spaces which require special permits, the client would be responsible for acquiring those ahead of time and providing proof before day of event.
We do NOT set up on the 4th of July, due to fireworks and damage to our tents from them. If you are planning a firework free gathering, please contact us to discuss the location and restrictions.
How much space is needed to “pitch it”?
From 20 ft diameter for our smaller tent to 25 ft. diameter for our larger tent. That includes the base of the tent and the lines that need to be staked in the ground around it for support. Reach out to us and we can help you figure out placement and clearance for your space.
What size tent do you need for your occasion?
Our small 14.5 ft tents are the perfect size for couples’ night, babymoons, small family, or small group sleep over parties, and can accommodate 2-6 people. This size is perfect for picnics and sunshade/lounge tents as well.
Our larger 15 ft tent is a great size for larger group parties, birthdays, special events, movie nights, and can accommodate 6-8 people.
What area do you “pitch it” in?
We cover the state of Washington and northern Oregon. We are based in SW Washinton. Please contact us and we can schedule your date and location. We do charge a $50 fee for locations more than 40 miles.
Can you reserve more than one tent?

Can you reserve tents for multiple nights?

What if it rains on the day of my event or there is a severe weather warning?
We do not cancel reservations due to rain. Our tents are rain and snow proof and can stand up to light winds as well. If rain is expected, we will set up when scheduled. Our clients tell us that glamping in the rain is a great experience. Picnic tents and lounge/sun tents are rainproof and stand up to light winds, they will provide cover for your guests if there is rain.
BUT if severe weather advisories are issued and we have to cancel set up, you can reschedule the date for your event for free or we will issue a full refund. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
Can you cancel your reservations?
Yes, contact us 14 days prior to the date of your event for a full refund. After 14 days and up until 7 days prior to the date of your event, we can refund half of your fee or you can move to a different date at no additional charge. After 7 days prior to the date of your event, we do not offer refunds, but you can reschedule for another date for free. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
Please make sure you talk to us prior to choosing your site. You will be responsible for checking for low points where water gathers, unlevel land, rocks and ground covered/saturated with pet waste. If the site you have chosen is not fit for set up when we arrive day of or you change the site after booking, no refund will be issued.
What bedding is included?
Our beds come with a standard sheet set, pillow (s), and light blanket. There are also extra throw pillows and floor cushions and well as extra blankets/throws and rugs on the floors. For colder months we recommend using sleeping bags rated to the outdoor temps and we can also include a small heater and extension cord. Our tents when closed up create a very comfortable temperature inside at night.
Are dogs allowed in our tents?
YES! Our pets are part of our family. We just ask that you do not leave your pet alone in the tents at any time unless properly crated. Please do not let them sleep on the beds. Pet beds are recommended. You will be financially responsible and will be charged for any damages that are done to our tents or interior items, by your pets.
What about cleaning and disinfecting due to the Covid virus?
All hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected between bookings. After setting up, we lay down a micro barrier to keep germs from building up on surfaces during use.
Linens, pillows, and rugs are all washed and disinfected. We will socially distance during set up and break down upon request. Please let us know if you need any additional steps taken for your event. Staff has been vaccinated and boosted.
