Ferncrest Promised Land

Ferncrest Promised Land: the short answer

Ferncrest Promised Land is a 24-site glamping campground on 10 acres at 16 Edgar Lane in Greentown, Pennsylvania. Its current inventory includes 210-square-foot Classic Domes, 415-square-foot Family Domes, and 200-square-foot Crest Tents. Three heated bathhouses serve the property; none of the current unit pages lists an en-suite bathroom.

The biggest correction to older descriptions is the hot-tub claim: only select Classic Domes include a private wood-fired hot tub. The larger Family Domes and Crest Tents do not list one as a standard inclusion. Book the exact room category and named unit rather than assuming a Ferncrest reservation includes every site-level amenity.

Ferncrest room comparison

All three unit types list a private picnic area, fire pit with grill grate, and access to a shared bathhouse with hot showers. The domes add a mini-fridge and microwave; Crest Tents instead list a cooler and charged battery for phones and small electronics.

Classic Domes: verify the hot tub

Classic Domes are the only category whose official room page mentions a private wood-fired hot tub, and it explicitly says select domes. If the tub is the reason for the trip, check that the exact room name and reservation confirmation both include it.

Wood-fired tubs also require more time and effort than electric spas. The operator’s own on-site review feed contains guests noting a long heat-up process. Treat that as a feature to operate, not a ready-hot pool. Ask what firewood is included, typical heat time, and whether burn restrictions can affect use.

Classic Domes sleep two to four with either a king or two double beds. They include A/C, heat, mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee carafe, cooler, lights, lanterns, picnic table, and fire pit.

Family Domes: more space, different priorities

The Family Dome is 415 square feet and sleeps up to six using a king bed, twin-over-queen bunk, and futon. It includes A/C, heat, mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee setup, cooler, lights, picnic table, and fire pit.

It does not list a private hot tub. Families should prioritize the bed arrangement and larger indoor floor area rather than assuming it is an enlarged version of a hot-tub Classic Dome.

Crest Tents: a more camping-like stay

The Crest Tent is raised on a private deck and sleeps two to four with a queen or two full beds. It has a cast-iron wood stove, clothing rack, kettle, pour-over coffee carafe, cooler, charged battery for small electronics, picnic area, and fire pit.

It does not list air conditioning, a mini-fridge, microwave, or hot tub. That makes it the most outdoors-forward option and a weaker fit during temperature extremes or for guests who want food storage inside the unit.

Shared bathhouses and site facilities

Ferncrest publishes three heated bathhouses with hot showers. Linens, blankets, pillows, and towels are supplied; shower products are available, but guests should bring a hair dryer if needed.

The Promised Land property page also lists a camp store, game room, playground, BBQ pavilion, coffee and ice-cream trailers, sauna, cold plunge, meeting space, and both private and communal fire pits. Some facilities vary by lodging type or operating schedule, so distinguish a property amenity from something included at your door.

Ferncrest prices

Ferncrest uses date-specific pricing in its Cloudbeds calendar. The public crawl did not expose a durable current starting rate on September 1, 2026, so the $175 figure above is only an indicative planning marker carried from an earlier listing—not a live quote.

Search exact dates and compare room classes. A Classic Dome with a tub, a standard Classic Dome, a Family Dome, and a Crest Tent are different products and should not be compared by the first rate shown alone. Confirm taxes, fees, minimum stays, pet charges, and the exact room label before paying.

Wi-Fi, dogs, and service style

Wi-Fi is available, but the official FAQ says signal strength varies and service is suitable for light browsing rather than streaming or downloads. Download entertainment and maps before arrival if connectivity matters.

Up to two dogs are allowed per tent for $40 per night. The fee can materially change a multi-night total, and the operator’s fall promotions do not represent a permanent free-pet policy.

Ferncrest describes itself as an “invisible-service” property without daily housekeeping. Check-in and checkout instructions arrive by text. Request extra linens or other help in advance where possible.

Location and nearby outdoors

The operator says Ferncrest sits two miles from Promised Land State Park and a short walk from a secluded forest lake. The property uses a Greentown postal address even though searchers commonly use “Ferncrest Promised Land.”

Choose it as a Poconos forest base rather than a walkable resort-town stay. For more regional options, use our Pennsylvania glamping guide.

Cancellation terms

Ferncrest requires a 100% deposit at booking. Under the current FAQ:

• Cancel or change at least 14 days before check-in for a full refund minus $25 per room.
• Inside 14 days, the full cost of the stay applies.
• Requests must be emailed to the address specified by the operator.

Save the terms attached to the booking because promotions and group arrangements may have additional rules.

Who should book?

Choose a Classic Dome for a couple or small family, especially when a specifically confirmed wood-fired hot tub is the priority. Choose a Family Dome for up to six guests who need more floor space and fixed beds. Choose a Crest Tent for a simpler, more camping-like experience with a wood stove and deck.

Look elsewhere if every guest needs a private bathroom, dependable streaming-quality Wi-Fi, or a flexible cancellation window inside two weeks.

Booking checklist

Confirm the exact room category, bed layout, hot-tub inclusion, shared-bathhouse route, climate control, fridge/microwave availability, dog fee, live total, minimum stay, and cancellation deadline.

Bottom line: Ferncrest is no longer accurately described as a small collection of identical romantic domes. It is a 24-site mixed glamping property, and the quality of the booking decision depends on matching the right unit class to the group.
