Location & Accessibility
Star Tide Camp sits nestled in a serene corner of Zhejiang Province, near Anji County in Huzhou—a quick 2-hour drive from bustling Hangzhou. The camp’s address might sound tricky (Xiangguang Line, Liujiatang Village, near Shizi Stone Reservoir), but don’t let that scare you! Just plug “Star Tide Camp” into a map app, and you’ll wind through lush hills until you hit this hidden gem. It’s far enough to feel off-the-grid but close enough to cities for a smooth day trip or weekend escape.
Getting There: Your Options
For adventurous souls, driving is the way to go. Highways from Hangzhou (like G50) lead you straight to Anji’s winding county roads. If you’re not renting a car, no worries—local taxis or ride-hailing apps can take you from Anji县城 (Anji downtown) to the camp’s entrance. Public transport fans can take a bus to Anji and grab a cab for the final leg. Pro tip: Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds, and you’ll have Star Tide Camp all to yourself!
Nature’s Playground
Picture this: a lake so calm it mirrors the sky, surrounded by rolling green hills and forests. That’s Shizi Stone Reservoir, where Star Tide Camp lies. By day, rent a kayak or paddleboard to glide across the water, or hike the camp’s trails to spot wild bamboo groves and birdwatch. At night, the lack of city lights turns the sky into a star-studded blanket—perfect for camping with a cozy bonfire. Trust me, the sunset here is Instagram gold!
Camp Life: Cozy Vibes
Star Tide Camp isn’t just about nature—it’s designed for comfort too. Choose between glamping tents with real beds or rustic cabins. Inside, you’ll find cute decor that blends modern comfort with outdoor charm. The communal areas are equally inviting: a fire pit for storytelling, a lakeside café serving bubble tea, and even a small shop for snacks. Bonus: The staff speaks English, so no language stress!
Adventure Awaits
If you’re bored, you’re doing it wrong! At Star Tide Camp, you can rent bikes to explore nearby villages, try archery or fishing, or challenge friends to a game of badminton under the trees. For thrill-seekers, zip-lining over the reservoir is a must. Families love the kid-friendly activities like sandcastle building or feeding ducks by the lake. Pro tip: Book a guided hike to a nearby tea farm—you’ll learn how Anji’s famous “long jing” tea is made!
Eat, Drink, Relax
The camp’s restaurant serves up fresh local dishes like fish pulled straight from the lake, spicy tofu, and mountain mushrooms. For a fun twist, book a BBQ night and roast marshmallows by the fire. Afternoons call for sitting by the lake with a cup of Anji white tea—it’s the ultimate chill pill. And don’t miss the camp’s stargazing events; they’ll even provide telescopes for amateur astronomers!
Why You’ll Love It
Star Tide Camp is the best of both worlds: remote enough to feel like a secret hideout, but equipped with everything you need to relax. Whether you’re a couple seeking romance, a family wanting fresh air, or a friend group craving adventure, this place has it all. Pack light (they’ve got rentals!), bring bug spray, and prepare for memories you’ll rave about long after you leave.
Psst: Weekends book up fast, so plan ahead! And yeah, the Wi-Fi works great here—but who needs it when the view is this good? 🌟
