Weather and Safety

Our tents are equipped with heaters and electric blankets for chilly nights, and air conditioners for warm days, ensuring your comfort no matter the weather.

At Prairie Fireflies, our adventure spirit thrives rain or shine! Our tents are robustly designed to withstand the elements, offering you comfort regardless of the weather. However, your safety is our top priority, especially during severe weather. In case of such conditions, we have a designated safety procedure: please proceed to the Corn Crib, our concrete structure that ensures your safety. On the south-facing side of the Corn Crib, you will find a single garage door which will be unlocked and can be lifted open for you to take shelter inside the structure. Please note, there are no underground shelter options available on the property. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Policies and Regulations

Plans change, and that's okay! You can cancel up to 14 days before your arrival for a full refund. If you need to adjust your dates closer to your stay, we're here to help rebook as needed. Remember, last-minute cancellations are non-refundable, so plan accordingly.

To ensure the enjoyment and health of all our guests, smoking is not permitted within the tents. A $400 fee is applied for non-compliance to keep our environment fresh and inviting.
