Best day ever!

I truly have no words to describe this amazing venue ♡ From the first call to the days spent camping with family after, they went above and beyond. The owner jumped in where I didn't even know I needed her to and made sure our day was everything we wanted and more. Not only is this family run and the owners are great but... this location yall, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G ! Every guest commented on how beautiful it was.

Absolutely amazing! Courtney is super nice!

We just had our wedding here August 26th 2023. Courtney was amazing, and super helpful! The whole place is beautiful! I love how the reception and venue were all in the same location and were pretty close to each other not a lot of walking around or driving to another place. The lodge were we had our reception was beautiful honestly didn’t even need much decorations the lodge inside was beautiful by itself! All we did was table runners and flowers on the table. Also having the cabins there to stay the night and have guests stay along with the campsites was amazing! We had all the cabins booked and even a few sites! Everyone of our one guests was telling us how beautiful the location was and how they want to come back! 1000/1000 would recommend! Absolutely amazing wedding day and we’ll be back!!

Venue/ on site help

Camp Deer trials went above and beyond to help make our day literally perfect!!! The venue itself is naturally beautiful and we loved being able to create our own personal vision with the help of the camp's friendly staff! We instantly fell in love with the atmosphere on our first visit and even more when we arrived on the big day. We were able to enjoy the company of our guest days before the wedding and afterwards in comfortable cabins, campsites or gorgeous glamping tents. All of our guests were so impressed with the accomodations and Courtney was so helpful and thoughtful, making the day so special. She jumped in to help with everything, making me feel so at ease and confident. This place is so peaceful and set the perfect mood for our ceremony on the beach and the reception in the most gorgeous hall with tall ceilings and beautiful lighting along with a breathtaking view overlooking the lake! Thank you Camp Deer Trails and a huge thank you to Courtney who helped us make this special memory! We cannot wait to visit once again and make more memories in the future, we will be back!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
