Guest Services

Glampers might want to consider using the Adams’ Pack Station pack train to complete their trip with donkeys carrying their food and/or luggage, exactly how they did it back in 1893, for a mere $1 per pound of luggage. The type of packing they do is called “dunnage,” which means freight only, no passengers.

Guest must label all bags and boxes with their name and cabin and pay special attention to the packaging of food items, which must be at the pack station by 7:30 a.m. on Friday mornings or dropped off earlier in the week.

The camp may provide meals if specified as part of an organized event. Guests must assist in the dining room maintenance and routine under the direction of the host or manager for this service to be provided. Read More

Entertainment

Museums

Big Santa Anita Canyon is located in the San Gabriel Mountains—within the Angeles National Forest and above the cities of Sierra Madre and Arcadia, California. It is a unique community of cabin owners in a small piece of the 19th-century history, so hiking along the over 40 miles of trails that wind through the area is like traveling back in time.This jewel of pristine nature offers glampers the possibility of escaping present-day hectic lifestyles to reconnect with what truly matters next to their four-legged friends.

Access to rental cabins at Sturtevant Camp is via hiking trails only. After parking at Chantry Flat, the camp is located 4.3 miles in along the Gabrielino Trail. Read More
