My daughter had a vision for an outdoor wedding and Camp Pawnee was a wonderful starting point. The site manager was a pleasure to work with to transform a clearing into an outdoor cathedral for wedding of about 300 people. The building met our needs and we transformed the grounds into an outdoor dance floor. Fire ring was large for a large group and the swings were perfect for the kids. We did br...

We did bring our own AC and no indoor water/sink in the main building. We rolled with it to have one amazing wedding. I do plan to go back to camp and for future events. Thanks Camp Pawnee.

We found this little campground from a Google search. We wound up being the only ones there. It was after Nov 1, so we didn't have water. But we had electricity. So that was perfect. The road is a bit rough getting in there. But it's a gem of a spot.

Rustic. Very few campers. Wide spaces between hookups. Nice manager. Pets have lots of room to play without fencing. Campground fills up with deer at dawn and dusk. Creek runs through. There are some permanent buildings for conferences. Apparently a year ago the whole Campground was flooded. It is nice and grassy now to no muddy spots. Full hookups, but electric is 30 amp. No 50 amp hookups... Rustic. Very few campers. Wide spaces between hookups. Nice manager. Pets have lots of room to play without fencing. Campground fills up with deer at dawn and dusk.
