01 · Grand lagoon escape
Conrad Beach — Lagoon Grand Cabana
The Lagoon Grand Cabana is built for groups: operator materials specify private Evermore lagoon-side cabanas that accommodate up to ten guests for an eight-hour day rental. The offering combines sheltered seating, direct access to the resort swim zone and a dedicated recreation attendant who coordinates service and comfort. Included touches called out by the operator are a complimentary pool float and choice between a 'fun in the sun' box or a seasonal fruit plate.
Practical details matter here. Food and beverages are sold separately and a 20% gratuity is added to cabana rates; the operator restricts access to hotel guests only and forbids outside food and drink. Reservations require check-in with a Conrad Cove or Conrad Beach recreation attendant, and cabanas are subject to closure for inclement weather—book with flexibility in mind.

These lagoon cabanas emphasize intimacy and food service: operator notes state each cabana accommodates up to six guests and highlights tropical fare from the resort's Papaya Club, delivered by a dedicated server. Like the larger cabana option, complimentary pool floats and a recreation attendant are part of the guest experience, and the day rentals are intended to be an all‑day, relaxed beach-and-lagoon option for hotel visitors.
Booking details include the familiar guest-only policy and a 20% gratuity applied to cabana rates; guests must check in with a Conrad Cove or Conrad Beach recreation attendant. The operator advises that cabana pricing is available in the booking system and that weather can affect availability—factor that into planning, especially for outdoor-only days.

Operator copy specifies a maximum of six guests per cabana and notes that the facility is stroller- and wheelchair-accessible.
Important guest-facing rules are explicit: food and beverages are sold separately, 20% gratuity will be added to cabana rates, and the experience is for hotel guests only with no outside food or drink allowed. The operator requires a 24‑hour cancellation notice, and, as with other outdoor offerings, cabanas are subject to closure during inclement weather.

Poolside Daybeds

Eagle Boy Scout Retreat Campground
Eagle Boy Scout Retreat offers primitive camping close to a launch area for Rock Springs Run. Operator-provided details emphasize a backcountry-style experience: sites are open primitive lots with no power or water hookups, a maximum of two tents per site, and a 10-person maximum. The listing is explicit about restrictions—no pets allowed, children under age two are not permitted, and campers must pack out what they pack in or face a cleanup fee.
The operator underscores local wildlife considerations—black bears and raccoons frequent the area—and strongly recommends securing food in vehicles overnight. Kayaking and paddling are not included with the campsite, so the operator advises reserving watercraft separately if you plan to paddle the Run. Meeting point information is listed as 'King's Landingt' in operator materials; confirm logistics through the booking flow before arrival.
