Forest Lake Camp allows you to create a one-stop shop for your entire wedding celebration. This immersive atmosphere guarantees a serene and picturesque setting for your ceremony and reception.

You have a number of ceremony sites to choose from, depending on your taste. You can exchange your vows by the lakefront, against a backdrop of glimmering water, or around the campfire for extra sparkle.

Your reception can take place in the camp's Mess Hall, an authentic rustic structure that will bring joyful memories of summer camp flooding back.

Absolutely perfect camp wedding weekend.

Absolutely nothing to complain about. Carlos, the main contact and coordinator for this camp, is a true gem to the wedding world. He was in contact with us probably every week a few months before and maybe daily the month of our (mostly DIY) wedding. All of the camp staff were kind, resourceful, amazing to our guests, everything we could have dreamed of. Would a million times over get married there again. (Photos from Nina Lily Photography)

Simply Magical!

Leaving a review as wedding planner and guest for my cousin’s wedding here June 2022.

Forest Lake Camp was a top notch camping wedding experience! The grounds are lush and beautiful, the cabins were Scandinavian clean and bright, the activities (rock climbing, archery, lake activities etc) fun, the staff friendly and helpful, and the on-site catering was delicious! They run an efficient ship here considering the wedding had ~200 guests with over 100 staying on site in cabins. They were incredible collaborators with me and the vendors (bartending, photography, band, and cake/ice/alcohol deliveries), making for a beautiful and memorable wedding weekend. If subsidizing the lodging, meals, and or reception, they work with you to check guests in and collect payment which is a huge help.

Carlos Perez, the manager on site, was professional and personable. He was responsive and quick with our million questions and favors. I seriously can not compliment him enough. He is a class act! He and staff also had lovely touches as bringing up hors d'oeuvres and champagne to the bride and groom post ceremony at the STUNNING ceremony site (overlooks the valley and lake), driving the photographer around the camp to show the best photo spots, coffee bar for the DIY family setting up the reception, and a commemorative wedding plaque that goes up in their Mess hall and one to go home with the bride and groom.

The Mess Hall and patio where the meals and reception were held is absolutely gorgeous. Huge wheel candle lightbulb chandeliers, fireplaces, lots of natural light, warm wood paneling, farm tables created a beautiful foundation for creating a gorgeous reception! We ate all meals here, all catered onsite and delicious and flipped the space into a lovely reception with eucalyptus runners and glass candlelit tables.

As a planner, it was incredibly easy to pull off a wedding here with perfect collaboration and support from Carlos and team. As a guest, it was a delight exploring the camp, taking in the sights, and eating the delicious food!

Thank you Carlos and staff for a memorable weekend! Bride and Groom loved every moment of it and have been loving hearing their guests say the same!

Incredible Wedding Experience

If you’re on the fence about whether to hold your wedding here, I can say with confidence: do it. Carlos and the entire camp staff that worked our wedding were fantastic. They thought of everything and were responsive, thoughtful, and professional. The grounds are so beautiful, with something for every guest to enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend, thank you!
