FAQs

Question

What are the sleeping accommodations like?

Answer

We are so excited to be able to offer our guests no-cost on-site lodging at our venue. As we are getting married at a functional girl scout camp, the lodging reflects that. Throughout the property, there are several cabins. All of the cabins have twin bunk beds (the amount varies by cabin), electricity, heat, a kitchenette with running water and appliances, and at least one toilet and shower. There is a bathhouse nearby to the cabins with additional bathrooms and showers. All cabins have their own firepit (wood included). Guests can find their cabin assignments upon arrival to camp. We will do our best to lodge people who know each other together (i.e. by family/friend group).
