★★★★★Malka NagelMy review is only for weddings. We came out here to participate in one. The wedding area is not far from parking structure. High heels not recommended. We sat on the benches there which were pretty low. Our party was small so not an issue. There are bathrooms nearby. No water - so bring your own unless it’s provided by host. A few flies, but nothing else bugged us too much.
★★★★★Zach SI got married here! The trees are so beautiful and the air smells fresh and clean. We were there during the off-season so we were like the only people in the whole park.
★★★Mr.RubberSoleThis Camp location is pretty damn dope. Location is nice and semi isolated. Beautiful picturesque trees and mountains. The cabins are pretty decent and the kitchen meals are great. I recently did some film work for a African dance and music camp here. Everything was great besides the camp owners double booking a actually WEDDING the same day as the camp was in full swing. That was pretty offsetting which is why I gave it 3 stars. Aside from that. The experience was pretty great.
★★★★★Jonathan SmithI work with people with disabilities and I think this is a wonderful place. Me and my fiance and her parents came here to check it out as a wedding venue. I can't remember the man's name who showed us around but he was very knowledgeable of everything and very friendly and talkative. I have some experience with this place working in supported living, which is a major plus since I know my friends in wheelchairs will be able to get around. We are heavily considering having our wedding here.
