Main Lodge

The Lodge was built in the late 1960s and is a great option for large groups, events, and inclement weather camping. A beautiful massive stone fireplace and hearth fills the length of one wall and is perfect for campfire cooking, s'mores, and general ambiance. The main floor is wheelchair accessible and offers a large L-shaped countertop in the kitchen area, multiple refrigerators, stovetop oven, and a microwave. This primitive lodge has electricity for lights and wall outlets, but no running water or AC. The large windows and shaded area keep the lodge comfortable in most non-winter weather. Benches and tables on the main floor can be moved to suit each guest's needs. Guests can bring cots to camp on the main floor, and there is also a loft area that can be used as a sleeping area. Guests bring all bedding and cookware. There is a small covered porch that can be used by Lodge guests, with the community picnic table area and camp water source conveniently nearby. There is Wi-Fi available at the lodge, and often has the best connection close to the building. The Lodge is a popular option for tent campers to add as a backup rain site and for the added convenience of using refrigerators and electricity while tent camping.
