We love Camp Kiwanee!

We absolutely loved getting married at Camp Kiwanee — their mix of rustic and scenic was exactly what we wanted on our day, and we loved renting out the campground overnight for our afterparty. We also loved the amount of green space with the event spaces all being either in-door or covered. Renae and team were very down-to-earth and responsive to our many questions, plus very helpful when we did venue visits (I would recommend couples who get married here have car access for some on-site time). Guests are still raving about the event even though it was months ago, and we are so excited to continue to visit Kiwanee throughout our married life together!

Magic night, despite pouring rain!

Camp Kiwanee was the most beautiful, fun, perfect venue for our wedding. We were looking for a very low key, easy place where we could just throw a party and Camp Kiwanee was the perfect location for that. We worked closely with Renae who was so responsive and informative about the whole wedding planning process. The ceremony site overlooking the lake is beyond gorgeous and despite downpouring rain it was a beautiful day.

Our day was perfect!

My husband and I got married at Camp Kiwanee on Saturday and I am still over the moon with how amazing our day was. The rustic look and lake was just so perfect. It exceeded our expectations. Dori is also so lovely to work with!

Magical Memories

It was magical!!! Beyond my expectations. The staff were incredible. So helpful and accommodating. We had 70 guests at the wedding/reception. 50 guests stayed over in the cabins. It was comfortable and clean. The staffs' confidence and professionalism kept me calm. The venue is gorgeous and several people commented it felt so comfortable, felt like "home". The kids had so much fun and are still talking about it. We had s'mores at night and pastry and coffee in the morning in the pavilion. We planned to go to the beach on the way out but the weather had other ideas. We are blessed to have these memories. LOVED IT!!! The price is outstanding for what you get. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend

Camp Kiwanee went above and beyond to make sure my wedding day was extremely special. My husband and I had planned on a rustic wedding with an option to camp and Kiwanee offered both of those options. We also were able to have our favorite caterer, Tennesse's bbq and loved the choice of picking our food vendor. The grounds are beautiful, Needles lodge provides the perfect indoor and outdoor ceremony experience. I worked with Lan and she was amazing the whole time, organized and professional but also cared about my experience and answered my many, sometimes frantic emails. Staying overnight was wonderful for all our friends. The cabins were clean and our bridal cabin was gorgeous and provided other sleeping options as well. We are so grateful for our experience and the memories we will keep.

Rustic charm

The administrative assistant Lan has been super responsive and helpful with all of our questions (and we've had a lot!). She gave us a tour and explained the wedding package to us. The venue is beautiful and exactly our style. We're renting the cabins as well and can't wait to have all of our friends and family campout with is!

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS!! The staff was incredible. The whole time they were extremely responsive to emails and set everything up exactly as discussed. The venue itself is incredible. We had perfect weather, but even if we didn’t- the hall had AC Incase it was too hot and the wrap around porch would still be amazing in the rain. It was my dream location and everything worked out so wonderful.

Camp kiwanee was the perfect backdrop for our wedding! We loved having the cabins to spend the night in, and the porch was the perfect place for such an intimate ceremony. Lan was SO responsive to our every need. We seriously couldn't have chosen a better venue.

We absolutely loved our experience with Camp Kiwanee! We initially started planning under different management but the transition was very smooth and they even allowed us to change the date with minimal notice. The space was gorgeous and we are still getting compliments with how beautiful everything was. 100% recommend camp Kiwanee!

Camp Kiwanee was the perfect wedding venue! I got married on Saturday 6/24/17. We rented out the lodge with the south end camping. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was! I loved that we could bring in any caterer we wanted too! The venue coordinator, Lan, was amazing! I was so happy when she came along. She was extremely helpful with every little question I had and always quick to respond. I couldn't have had my wedding day go anymore perfect. I would definitely suggest Camp Kiwanee.
