My husband and I had the most incredible wedding experience at Camp Miller! If you're considering a unique and unforgettable venue for your special day, look no further. We were able to have the Camp from Thursday PM-Sunday AM for the same price some venues charge for a short evening event. It was priceless to have all of our friends and family in one place getting to know one another. Folks enjoyed rock climbing, zip lining, crafts, kayaking, bonfires, and more together. We were told by countless people that it was the best wedding weekend ever. By the time we got to the wedding reception, friends and family were all mingling and laughing together! Not only does Miller have a beautiful ceremony space, they have incredible staff. Robyn and her team were responsive, kind, accommodating, and fun. They made us feel so special all weekend. They had great ideas for any snafus that popped up (as they always do at weddings) and everything went very smoothly. From our very first meeting, the Miller staff went above and beyond to fulfill our wedding weekend dream. They took the time to listen to our vision and made it come to life flawlessly. Their attention to detail was exceptional. They treated us like family throughout the entire planning journey. If you're searching for a wedding venue that offers not only breathtaking natural beauty but also a team that is accommodating, kind, helpful, and genuinely fun to work with, look no further than Camp Miller. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to them, and we are forever grateful. We can't recommend them enough to other couples seeking an unforgettable wedding experience. We will post our professional pictures as soon as they are available! :)

We had our wedding at Camp Miller and absolutely loved it. The camp is beautiful, you’re surrounded by forest and huge trees, and right on a lake. Robyn and Emily were really friendly and helpful at answering our questions and helping us plan. Other staff also did a great job helping with the activities and meals. It’s the perfect place for an outdoorsy and campy wedding and a great deal when you consider all of the cabins that people can stay in. Our guests loved hanging out at the dock and swimming around and we utilized the campground for a giant game of capture the flag! The pavilion was also an awesome place for our rehearsal dinner, wedding dinner, and dancing. Even though it was pouring rain on Friday night, we still ate under the pavilion because it is huge and doesn’t get wet underneath. It makes it easier to plan a wedding when the decorations (gorgeous nature) are already there for you. People felt relaxed and happy in the natural, camp environment. Highly recommend Camp Miller!!!

We went for a college class and enjoyed ourselves. Eric was very nice and explained things well and gave us plenty of free time. Had A blast and i wish i could have gone as a kid. They had archery, a rock wall, horses and pigs in summer, tommahock throwing, a sauna, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and we learned all kinds of stuff about the nature surrounding camp
