About Us

Welcome to Timberline Glamping at Amelia Island, where passion, faith, and friendship come together to offer an extraordinary outdoor experience. Our story began when Felipe Oliveira, a seasoned entrepreneur and dedicated father, embarked on a journey to find his next business venture after stepping away from partnerships in his surf shops and pickleball store. Overwhelmed by the process of evaluating nearly 400 businesses—some promising, others not so much—Felipe sought refuge in one of his favorite pastimes: camping. This time, he was accompanied by his 12-year-old daughter, eager for a peaceful night under the stars.




But their camping experience turned out to be less than ideal. By 9:30 p.m., his daughter’s skin was covered in mosquito bites due to the pesky insects sneaking through the ventilation holes of their tent. For the first time, Felipe packed up early, realizing she wouldn’t make it through the night. Determined to find a better way, they returned the next day and stayed in a glamping tent. From the moment they stepped inside, both father and daughter were captivated by the luxurious yet cozy setup. That night, under a full moon and with worship music filling the air, Felipe’s daughter reached out her hand and asked, “Daddy, can we pray and ask God if this is the business for us?” In that sacred moment, they felt a clear sense of guidance, and Felipe knew this was more than just a business opportunity—it was a calling.


Joining Felipe in this journey is his lifelong friend, Junior Saint-Val. A local pastor and the outreach pastor for Recovery Church Movement in West Palm Beach, Junior hadn’t considered himself a “natural” camper. However, his perspective changed completely after experiencing a stay at Timberline Glamping. A husband and father of three young boys, Junior quickly saw the potential of glamping to bring families closer together and offer meaningful, comfortable outdoor experiences. With a deep-rooted friendship that began in elementary school, Felipe and Junior decided to join forces, combining their shared values, love for family, and commitment to faith.


At Timberline Glamping at Amelia Island, we are driven by a desire to create spaces where families can connect with nature and each other without sacrificing comfort. Every stay is crafted with care, hospitality, and a touch of luxury, making your time with us an unforgettable experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the Timberline Glamping family and sharing the joy of the outdoors with you.
