Cancellation Policy Without Travel Protection: 

·      We offer a 95% refund if cancellation is made more than (14) days before the date of your check-in. 

·      Any reservations without travel protection cancelled less than 14 days from check-in will strictly receive no refund, regardless of circumstance. Without travel protection, Timberline Glamping Hillsborough River will not issue refunds for any weather-related event, illness, accident/injury, death of a family member, pre-existing medical condition or any other unforeseen circumstance. In case of a hurricane, tropical storm or other unforeseen state park closure, refunds will only be issued if travel protection was purchased. If the park shuts down due to a weather or other event, and you did not purchase insurance, you will have the option to reschedule for a future date. Finally, you can also gift the reservation to a friend or family member. 

·      Timberline Glamping Co. has multiple locations, each one owned and operated on separate booking systems, so it is not as simple as moving a reservation at the click of a button. If you would like to move your reservation to another Timberline Glamping location, just write us and let us know. There will be a 5% fee assessed to move your reservation, unless you have purchased cancellation insurance.

Depending on the type of protection you select, if you are unable to attend your booking due to unforeseen illness or other health condition, adverse weather involving rain or snow, or other travel delay listed in the Worry-Free Bookings Terms & Conditions, you will be eligible for a 100% reimbursement minus the Travel Protection Fee for the time period of 24 hours, 2 days, or up to 14 days before your arrival date or up to 30 days after your departure date.

We find it is better to properly set the expectations for everyone before they come Glamping. You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens. You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone. You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Kuerig Coffee Maker.

We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home. In the summer months, we recommend keeping the doors and windows closed during the day and the canvas doors open at night to let the summer breeze in. In colder weather, it is imporant to bring warm clothing.

Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.

We love our furry Glampers! Just add the pet fee for each pet in the add on section at check out or send us an email letting us know ahead of time and we will get that added.

We just ask that you do not leave your pet alone in the tents at any time unless properly crated. You are financially responsible for any damage that is done to our accomodations by your pets.

Sometimes it rains. All of our tents are waterproof and have additional rain guards to ensure you still have an enjoyable experience. In fact, we have been told by guests that experiencing rain in our glamping tents is a great experience.

We do not cancel reservations due to rain, thunderstorms, or illnesses.
