If you want your wedding to feel as if someone cares then
Camp Turnaround is a great place to get married. This place makes you feel awesome. It took us back to how a wedding used to be before they became so money makers. CampTuirnaround was extremly easy to work with. Very professional, caring, helpfull and extremely polite. You can't go wrong at Camp Turnaround. If I had more children to marry we would return without any hesitation. The place is beautiful as well as the people in charge.

This place was BEAUTIFUL. Julie the event manager was AMAZING!!! Very helpful with all my emails. As a new bride I had a MILLION questions and emailed her probably fifty times. She was so helpful!!! And I kept apologizing for all the questions and she made me feel as if I wasn't bothering her. I HIGHLY recommend camp turnaround as a venue for everyone!!

We had an amazing wedding at Camp Turnaround. Julie was very helpful throughout the entire process and was very accomidating and reassuring whenever I had questions or concerns. If you are looking for a beautiful setting that won't break your budget, this place is for you. Everyone had a great time and I heard from tons of people that my wedding was FUN, and that's really all you can hope for, right? The only slight negative I can even think of (and it's not really that big of a deal) is the bathroom facilities for guests are portable toilets and not actual bathrooms. Some people are really squirmish about them, but I didn't hear any complaints from any of my guests. Hopefully sometime in the future they will be able to put in permanent bathrooms (I know they can be super spendy!). Thank you again for the amazing wedding that we will never forget!

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!
