Camp Château Accommodations

All bunk rooms hold 5-8 single beds. The only exception is the 4 person ground floor accessibility room provided based on needs.
Guests from multiple parties may stay in the same room based on party size and room availability. We try to always put solo-travelers with other solo-travelers or small groups. All Château rooms come with an en-suite bathroom (adorned with Portuguese tile).
Parties of 6-8 will be assigned to a private room on a first come first served basis.
Campers are not guaranteed the specific room option in the image above, but they are all gorgeous.
-
Craving the sound of nature? Try Glamping!
All Glamping Tents hold 2 twin beds. Glamping tents have access to the pool house glamper WC and showers.There are only 5 glamping tents, so parties hoping to stay together in glamping tents should not exceed more than 10.
You have one "tentmate". All glampers are one "bunk", keeping the communal spirit strong.
