*WEDDING VENUE REVIEW* We fell in love with the camp the moment we stepped onto its grounds, but we could've never dreamt of how magical our wedding day turned out to be. The camp is an absolute dream and the camp director, David, was such a joy to work with in preparing for our big day -- he's incredibly accommodating, attentive, flexible, and kind -- as is, all of the camp staff who assisted with the check-in process. For us, the communal aspect of our wedding weekend was a top priority, as was being in nature, so being able to host our wedding at a glampground where all our friends and family could stay on site and hang out with us/each other meant the world to us. it was even more special than we had hoped it would be! truly every one of our guests has told us this was the best wedding they'd ever been to and we know everyone being able to stay on the campgrounds was such a huge part of that. it felt like our own mini summer camp and everyone had the BEST time. if you're considering this venue i definitely encourage you to visit or stay for a weekend!!! the pictures don't do it justice. it's such a special place and by far the best decision we made in planning our wedding xo
