Beautiful venue!

We loved our wedding at Camp Turnaround! They were very responsive and helpful throughout all the planning and prep. It was a gorgeous place to get married! Tables and chairs were included in the price and they set them up for you. You will have to move the chairs to the reception pavilion if you have a larger wedding like we did (180 people). There are two bathroom stalls available, we ended up renting two extra for our large group. The bridal suite and groom’s room were also included and worked out great. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

This was a beautiful venue and Gary and Julie were amazing to work with. They happily answered questions, provided planning information and tips, and let us visit the venue 3 different times for decorating planning. The guests loved the venue and commented on it's beauty. It is very family and kid friendly, which was exactly what we were looking for for the wedding. Cost was very reasonable as well! And they did the set up and take down of all tables and chairs, too. Could not be happier and would highly recommend Camp Turnaround for any event!

Julie the venue owner was great! There was a slight panic moment when my wedding band fell under the bridge... Julie did not hesitate to change her clothes and climb down in the bushes to get my ring back! They are great people and made our day wonderful! The venue is beautiful and can be customized to make your day 100% yours!

We held our granddaughter's wedding at Camp Turn Around. Julie was so helpful and wonderful right from our first appointment.
We selected this venue as they only schedule one event per day and we had it for our use from 9:00 AM until 10:00PM (we purchased 2 additional hours until 12:00 PM)
It is located right by the beautiful Wilson River.
There are indoor/outdoor buildings and spaces for every kind of weather Oregon can throw at you.
They have a playground activities for guests use. Our friends and family loved playing basketball and doing other activities.
Julie was always available to answer our questions & got back to us quickly.
She provided help, suggestions and support on the wedding day making our event run smoothly. Thanks Julie....you helped us make special memories!

We love working with Julie and Gary at Camp Turnaround! This outdoor/indoor venue has the beauty and serenity that weddings and events need! Not only is there a ceremony site, pavilion, outdoor deck and great parking, but awesome activities throughout the property. From horse shoes, to a fire pit, to a playground for the little ones, everyone will be active and have something to do at your event. Great team building opportunities for corporate events as well! We highly recommend the trip out to Camp Turnaround!
