Camp Sacajawea Reviews

Camp Sacajawea is the PLACE to have your wedding. Camp Sacajawea is truly a special place and that is because of the people who oversee it. James and Steve have far exceeded our expectations and were so helpful in planning, setting up, and being available during the wedding! Our guests were blown away with everything the wedding and campsite had to offer! We had axe throwing, archery, live music, outdoor yard games, and more! The Camp offers a large outdoor tent, plethora of decorations, furniture, microphone, and more complimentary for couples to utilize. I can’t not recommend this Campsite enough!!

James was amazing to work with! He helped make our day absolutely perfect and everything was gorgeous!!

Having our wedding at Camp Sacajawea in Sparta was an absolute dream! Working with James, the owner, was so easy and he just made the whole experience fantastic. We had the venue for an entire weekend which gave us time to set it up just the way we wanted. Our guests loved the unique vibes and we got tons of compliments! This is not your ordinary venue, and it fit my husband's and my personalities perfectly. James and his team were a dream to work with, he is super flexible, extremely kind, and put in a lot of work to make sure our day went smoothly. I only wish they had more bathrooms, after cocktail hour we had a bit of a line forming, but everything worked out fine. If you are looking for a truly rustic, unique venue, a place that you can really make into your own, definitely check out Camp Sacajawea!

We had a Ren Faire themed wedding, and Camp Sacajawea was absolutely the perfect site. They already had almost all the decorations we could have conceivably wanted, and as a Faire, we were spoiled for choice when it came to areas to hold the ceremony itself. We went with the wisteria-covered stage, but we also had the option of the joust fields, or a beautiful lakeside area. While the accommodations are a bit rustic (it's a former girl scout camp), being able to stay overnight and just get ready on site in the morning eliminated a ton of stress. We also were glad that we took the archery and axe throwing add-ons: our guests had a blast, and it took a lot of pressure off of us for the cocktail hour. The bar area was also incredibly beautiful: there aren't many places that really feel like walking into a personal fantasy tavern! We really felt like royalty having our first dance in the medieval themed feast hall. Everything went smoothly when it came to coordinating with the other vendors. As someone who loves a good fairy-tale wedding, this was the perfect place for a happily-ever-after.

Wow! We had the most amazing weekend with our friends and family leading up to the wedding, and then the most fun and beautiful wedding we could have imagined. The lake was immaculate, the cabins were comfortable, and the main hall and tent were gorgeous. Most of all James was an incredibly patient, competent, and helpful host (and coordinator)!!

perfect venue!! We had an amazing time, James was extremely communicative and very kind to us during this time. We did our ceremony as well as our reception here, and it was awesome :) we did our wedding almost entirely outside except for where we had our dancing (which was inside). We had our wedding in June, and we were able to book our date with ease. James was with us every step of the way and was extremely accommodating to our needs throughout the planning process. Overall our guests had a great time and we loved being able to customize our wedding to our wishes. Highly recommend! We booked a food truck to cater, and we had opted to include archery and axe throwing which our guests were super excited about and enjoyed! Thank you James for an amazing day with memories we’ll never forget :)

First off, I can't gush ENOUGH about how amazing James (the site owner) was from the very beginning- showing us around, answering a bunch of questions, and really working with us and our budget. My now husband and I met at Camp Sacajawea, so it meant the world to be able to rent it for our wedding. We're both LARPers and wanted to have a unique, medieval style affair and boy did this deliver.

It was a HUGE help to not have to worry about decor, renting tables, a kitchen and restrooms, and having a place for guests to crash overnight. James only asked us to explain what we needed and we ironed out exactly what we needed to bring. We rented Thursday- Sunday, and from the time that we set foot he was there if we needed it, and often was on top and taking care of things I never even considered, like turning canoes into coolers and directing guests. The place looked amazing thanks to the decorations that he already had up, and we felt like a king and queen sitting in the throne chairs at dinner in the banquet hall. Not once did I feel overwhelmed thanks to both him and the amazing team I had.

Also a huge plus, James graciously allowed us to bring our flower girl and ring bearer- our four legged kids! Truly, it was the most "us" wedding I could have imagined, and I hope other people get to have their happily ever after here

I’m a little delayed… My husband and I are celebrating our one year anniversary but we still remember how amazing James and Camp Sacajawea were for our wedding day! We loved everything about Camp Sacajawea.

It’s hard to capture everything we loved but for starters - JAMES! James was so great to work with. He was always very responsive and flexible. He helped us way more than he needed to. Let me mention that this venue is more DIY style, so make sure you know what you’re looking for. With that said though, James did SO much to help. He set up everything (tent, tables, chairs, canoes with ice, so much more). He let us use basically anything that he had available - tablecloths, chair covers, silverware, plates, wine glasses, etc. He even gave us access to his decorations that were donated from other weddings. We even asked to have a bar outside and he found one that he built years ago, and he fixed it up so we could use it. Just overall a really great guy & we couldn’t have pulled off our last minute wedding without him.

THE VENUE -
We had full access to the entire property (including the lake), for the entire weekend! That was so unique and special to us - being able to freely wander and enjoy the beautiful property. There were so many ceremony options since the property is so huge. Our cocktail hour and reception were set up outside in an enormous tent. The tent was perfect - it had lighting, heat lamps, concrete, a dance floor - everything you could ever need. And we loved that we were still surrounded by nature during all of this. We also had access to their kayaks / canoes so the day after our wedding, a lot of our guests came back to fish, which they absolutely loved! We also had a few guests stay at the cabins on the property, which was fun for some of our lower maintenance guests. The cabins are definitely more camping style (don’t expect anything fancy). We made sure our guests knew what they were getting into. There is also axe throwing / archery on the property which was so much fun! James helped us coordinate with the instructor to have both activities available to our guests during cocktail hour… our guests thought that was so fun and cool.

Overall - 10/10 for our experience! I highly highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for a semi-DIY style wedding with a rustic charm, really unique amenities AND that doesn’t break the bank!!!

The venue, previously a girl scout camp, has been updated to reflect a medieval asthetic that is charming and romantic.
Having a wedding during a pandemic in November came with its challenges but James, the owner, was extremely easy to work with and very accommodating.
The main dining area is perfect for a small to midsize reception. Full control of the kitchen area made my mother-in-law's day. Easy to hook up to the sound system so a dj or band is not necessary, an ipod or your phone could provide the music, but if you opted for a band or dj, there was definitely the space.
There was a bar area to serve drinks, complete with goblets, and there were also other role playing spaces, such as stone steps and huts that helped complete the fantasy.
If you enjoy the idea of an outdoor or medieval themed event, this venue will suit your needs perfectly.

This venue was perfect for what we wanted. The rental house includes the entire grounds, and we didn't even use all of it. Beautiful lake and gorgeous trails, and the main hall had more than enough room for everything we wanted to do.

The site is large, and easy to accomodate large groups. The main hall seats 100 easily, and more if everyone can be a bit close, and there's a convenient serving area / bar separate from the kitchen, which is attached to the main hall. In the Spring & Summer, the grounds are great for wandering, and great for photos as well. It's rural / rustic, while being close enough to modern civilization for any needs you may have.

Camp was amazing. We were able to house any guests who wished to stay overnight in cabins.

Perfect place for magical them

We had our wedding at camp sacajawea in 2014 and it was absolutely perfect! We stayed at a local bed n breakfast not far away called the wooden duck and the whole experience was so charming and James was very accommodating to all of our needs

Beautiful, peaceful, clean and plenty of room indoor and outdoor. We had over 100 people With no problem.

If you're looking to get weird and play by your own rules this is the ultimate venue. While it won't be winning any awards for prim and polish, its loose and fun atmosphere provided us with the flexibility to put on exactly the event that we wanted.

If you're the sort of couple that likes to do things your way and you don't mind putting in the work to make things happen, this venue is great for you. The owner is extremely flexible with any requests for using different areas of the campgrounds, and will help you transform it into whatever you want it to be. Do be aware going into this that it's a rustic, mostly-outdoors area so bring sturdy shoes. If you've got the time and you're willing to put in some work, this venue can really shine. Some of our guests had been to this venue before our wedding, and they all said they hardly recognized the place after we arranged things to our liking and put up our decor.
