Camp Colton Reviews

Got married at Camp Colton September 2019. We absolutely fell in love with this venue. The forest, the creek, and the old buildings that are amazingly updated to “rustic modern”. The Bridal/Honeymoon suite was also beautiful.
Dana, the coordinator, was accommodating, communicative, and a joy to work with.
If this venue is in your price range I would highly recommend it, without hesitation.

Camp Colton is a stunning mixed outdoor/indoor venue. We had 200 guests whom all were impressed with the flow and ease of this beautiful space. The staff, Dana & Michael, went above and beyond to make our day magical. The wedding suite was the perfect place to get ready, with everything one would need. With being just an hour outside of Portland, it is an easy drive for guests staying in Portland while being in the middle of the Pacific Northbest beauty! If you have the opportunity to get married here, we highly suggest it. Thanks Camp Colton, we will cherish our wedding memories forever.

Camp Colton has new owners and a new staff running the place. Michael, the manager, has been nothing but inviting and professional with us. Camp is a one of a kind rustic location w a perfect twist of modern. They are doing so much to revamp the place. Definitely check it out. I've been told that all tours are currently on hold due to remodeling, but events should start running summer of '17. Looking back on the other reviews it seems like the new ownership is in our favor as brides :)

As soon as we pulled up to Camp Colton we knew that this venue was the one for us! It's set in a gorgeous forest with a river running through it. We decided to book the weekend package (Friday afternoon – Sunday morning) . This was something we were really hoping for in a venue since we had a lot of out of town bridesmaids, groomsman, and family. We are SO GLAD we did as it made the wedding feel much more special. With the weekend package we had access to about 10 sleeping quarters (cabins, yurts, tiny house) that were all spread throughout the property so all our closest friends and family got to enjoy the property with us that weekend. (we had about 25 people in the sleeping quarters) With the weekend package we were also able to have our rehearsal dinner at the property plus breakfast the morning after our wedding.

The only downside to being in at a secluded lovely forest is guests had to stay a little far. The city of Colton is tiny with limited airbnbs or hotels. So guests stayed in oregon city, molalla, etc. Camp colton offers a unique solution to this problem and has a camp ground large enough for 12+ tents (which is great for the party people who should not drive home). If you have a lot of our of town guests something to consider.

The wedding site was absolutely breathtaking, it was set outside in an intimate forest clearing. The dining hall was spectacular and had a great flow leading into dance floor on the patio. (The church is also gorgeous for those who want a church wedding). The bridal suite has an outdoor clawfoot tub! (yes you read that right, tub in the trees next to a river!)

Last, but certainly not least, is the staff! I could write a whole separate review about how amazing the team at Camp Colton is. Dana is the coordinator and she is a rockstar. She was so willing to do whatever she could to make our wedding perfect! We appreciated her expertise and calm during the craziness of the wedding. The owner Jared was very kind. The venue provides set up for tables and benches etc as wella as a bartender.

Camp colton was the best choice we made for our wedding and we will cherish that place for the rest of our lives.

First of all this venue is absolutely stunning. It was quite literally all I had dreamed of for my wedding day and I was excited I found it.

We went on a two hour tour with the sales and events manager to see all the things Camp Colton had to offer. After our tour she handed us a booklet and sent an email that contained a spreadsheet of pricing. Much to our surprise the pricing she re-stated over and over again during the tour did not mach the booklet nor the online pricing. In fact it was off about 4 grand for every package. I called her and asked her to verify why pricing was off and she stated "I can get you less than what those show, let me come in tomorrow morning and give you a price breakdown". The next morning she sends an email of her price breakdown that shows the pricing of the booklet and spreadsheet (four thousand more than price we were told during the tour). She also put in red headlines "Both September and October fall into out peak season pricing", but what's interesting was when she was giving us the cheaper pricing during the tour she knew September and October were the only months we were interested in. Within her emails she intended to make me feel dumb and that I misunderstood. We had four people attend the tour and all had the same impression because simply...she gave us wrong prices and she knows she did. All and all I wouldn't recommend Camp Colton. Whether she got her packages mixed up (which she didn't admit) or she straight up lied to get a sale, I will never do business with her and wouldn't recommend anyone else to either. It's a shame because it truthfully is a beautiful place.
