9.8/10 Exceptional! (85 reviews)

We stayed in a pet friendly dome and the service is top notch. They think of everything! Having water and a mini fridge in the dome is so convenient. The shared bathrooms are very nice. The domes and the bathroom building are nice and warm (we visited in December). I highly recommend visiting 2 Capes Lookout.
