VIEW: Even with a little rain, the view from inside a geodesic dome at Kimberly Creek Retreat near Ashland is beautiful. The new venue celebrated a grand opening on Friday. The retreat has several options for luxury camping, including two geodesic domes. (Staff Photo by Suzi Nelson)

QUEEN DOME: At Kimberly Creek Retreat, this unit is named the “Queen Dome” and includes two queen sized beds, a bathroom, kitchenette and everything else you would need for glamping, except your toothbrush and toothpaste, according to co-owner Chris Petersen. (Staff Photo by Suzi Nelson)
