BACK IN THE DAY

The first lodgings at Camp back in 1893 were simple tents; these were soon improved with wooden platforms, and later small cabins were built on those platforms. Only the Honeymoon Cottage remains as an example of those early days.

When the Methodist Church acquired the Camp in 1947, they envisioned the Camp as a place to introduce kids and young people to hiking and the wilderness, but with the advantages of a hard roof overhead and a bathhouse. By the late 1950s, they built the cabins you see today, as well as the bathhouse and main kitchen at the Lodge.

LODGING TODAY

There are six places/options in Camp to reserve lodging for singles, couples, families or larger groups for a total capacity of 34 guests:

  1. Bunkhouse Cabin-2: four double bunks to sleep 8 people.
  2. Hostal Cabin-3: four double bunks to sleep a mix of up to 8 people; if you are hiking solo or with 1-2 friends, this is option is designed for you.
  3. Family Cabin-4: a double bed plus three double bunks for 8 guests (in the future, this cabin will have a sink, stove and fridge.)
  4. Retreat Cabin: 1 room with a double bed, 1 room with 2 double bunks for a total of 6 guests. Also includes a kitchenette and a toilet and shower.
  5. The Lower Lodge room: originally the kitchen tucked under the historic Lodge, now this is a cool, quiet room apart from the rest of the cabins. Currently it has a double bed for 1-2 persons.
  6. The Honeymoon Cottage: maximum history and coziness! One double bed for 1-2 persons.

The cabins are simple and rustic, mostly used just for sleeping; they have mattresses with pillows and blankets (sheets/pillow cases are available to rent separately. ) Each space includes a table and chairs; the cabins have open closets for hanging clothes. Wall heaters keep everything warm in the winter (except for the Lower Lodge room– it has extra blankets in winter!)

Mixed & Exclusive Use

Smaller groups share the common facilities with others staying in Camp on the same weekend,  including the kitchen and bath facilities as well as the Lodge/dining hall. (Only the Retreat Cabin is self-contained.) Your fellow campers will surely be like-minded folk and we often have guests make new friendships. However, if you would like to reserve kitchen and bath facilities exclusively for your group then there are two options.
