Powered by GoogleWe had the most magical wedding weekend at The Camp with all our loved ones on site! RoxAnne and the whole family are such shining stars. Great people, perfect venue - we hope to find more reasons to celebrate here in the future❤️
Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Directors house at the Camp. Large home that facilitated our funeral family gathering. Room for the children to sleep and play outside. Great place for walk abouts, fire pit marshmallows and warmth.
I've officiated a few weddings now at this venue and there's always been a true fairytale vibe. The owners go out of their way for anyone there shuttling people to where we needed to go. The was plenty of room for activities everywhere including in the dining hall, extra property, covered outdoor area for the wedding, clean and multiple bathrooms, complete with a kitchen area where they prepare the meals for the reception. Even the last wedding that I officiated there was wet outside so we simply moved everything indoors and there was still ample room for everybody. Nunn Photography we're excellent in capturing candid photos, being a duo throughout the wedding getting photos that the couple didn't even know they wanted. 😊 If you're in need of an officiant for the Camp at Buffalo Mountain, I would be truly honored to be your man at Camp Buffalo Mountain #JoshuaMaplesweddingofficiant
My wife and I got married here and LOVED IT! RoxAnne and her family are fantastic and easy to work with. The Camp at Buffalo Mountain is perfectly situated in a little valley full of shade and a little stream that helps keep everything cool. There's cabins for the groom and groomsmen to get ready in, and the Directors House for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in. The Pavilion can seat at least 150 people and the reception hall is perfect for hosting!
RoxAnne, her family and team were incredible hosts for the wedding venue! They really came through for my family when our catering got messed up and were more than willing to assist us set up everything to our liking! They were a pleasure to work with and the venue was gorgeous, featuring a creek that cuts through the Smokey mountains, and there were more than enough accommodations for our roughly eighty guests. Fifty of whom (or more) stayed with us at the lodge, the directors house or the cabins there on sight, having access to privacy and modern conveniences, despite the location being in such a beautiful and remote location! Well done and thank you all for everything! My photos here do not do it justice, as I haven’t gotten the pictures from our photographer back yet. This is merely a small sample. Please check out their website and or give them a tour in person. We looked at maybe fifty venues online and after touring this place in person, we knew it was the venue for us! Once again, thank you for helping us make our wedding truly remarkable!
