Camping FAQ:

Are pets allowed?

No, pets are not allowed in the campground or yurts.

Are there bathrooms?

We have a bathhouse right on site with hot showers and facilities.

How far is the bathhouse from the campground?

Just a quick walk across the parking lot will bring you to the bathhouse! There is a portable toilet located near our upper campground as well for convenience.

Where can we buy firewood?

Right here! Our campground and retail store has everything you need, purchase your firewood and ice right here!

Is there a place to eat close by?

Yes! Just a few minutes north of us is the Town of Greenville, nestled on the foot of beautiful Moosehead Lake. There you will find a grocery store and some locally owned and operated restaurants, shops, and more!

Do I need to bring my own camping gear?

We have tents, ground pads, sleeping bags, and pillows available for rent if you forgot something or need to rent gear. Please call to make arrangements prior to your arrival.

Can I stay without booking an activity?

No, we reserve all lodging for guests who are taking part in our activities. This is due to the limited availability in our smaller campground. Additionally, a majority of our guests are waking up early in the morning for their daily adventures. Staying right on our base provides a convenient way for guests to leave directly from the campground and head out on their excursion.
