Unlike your typical campground, this retreat likes to do things a little differently, from unique accommodations to unconventional ways to relax, this place marches to the beat of a different drum.

Three Otters Eco Retreat has a philosophy, one that is based on several studies which suggest that modern people's tendency to remain indoors, watching TV or Internet, has increased depression, obesity rates, narcissism, distraction, aggression, memory loss, and increases the likelihood of certain diseases.

For starters, the accommodations are not what you would call typical. There are several campers you can choose to stay in, or if you are feeling nostalgic, a retro camper.
Or if you would rather have a more primitive, yet alternative type of accommodation, you may choose to rent a floating tent.

The tents are strapped to the trees from an elevated position, usually about three to four feet off the ground. The tents, created by Tentsile, "offer an incredible way for you and your friends to experience the great outdoors in style, comfort, unrestricted by ground conditions and with increased separation from wetness, bugs and other creepies."
