Camp Palisades is beautifully tucked only a few miles from Palisades Reservoir, and provides a safe and escape to the mountains. Our camp works hard every year at maintaining and cleaning our facilities so that they are ready for our camping programs. Our camper accommodations are described below.
Our campground has eleven A-frame cabins, with just under 200sq ft of floor space. Each cabin can hold six adults and their luggage comfortably, and as many as eight would not be unreasonable. The cabins do not have bunks, so we encourage campers to bring foam or air pads to put under their sleeping bags. Though warm during the day, cabins can be chilly at night.
Only three of the cabins have electricity (those nearest the lodge). For our youth camps, these are reserved for the cooks and program staff. If you need a cabin with electricity for the Labor Day Family Camp, please let us know when you reserve one. Please do not bring food into the cabins–leave all food in a vehicle or the lodge.
The Lodge includes a full size kitchen and dining hall with a large serving window between them, as well as a fireplace. The kitchen has stoves, ovens, griddles, an outdoor grill, two double sinks, dishes, cups, silverware, cookware, refrigerators, and freezers. Any groups that use our facilities are more than welcome to use the kitchen responsibly. Please leave everything in at least as good of shape as you found it. Also, campers are welcome to store their food here for the duration of their group’s stay, as space permits. Please, however, respect other people’s food, space, and privacy.
The dining area can seat 40-50 people and is furnished with foldable tables. More wooden picnic tables are located outside near the campfire. There are also a bathroom stall, shower, and sinks that were added on the back of the kitchen portion of Shiloh Lodge. At youth camps, this space is reserved for leaders only.
The campfire is at the very heart of camp. It consists of a large fire-pit with benches and picnic tables, as well as room for your own chairs. Campers enjoy early mornings and late nights here around the warmth of the fire. A pile of firewood is available for campground users, but we ask that you never leave a fire unattended!
The bathhouse is the bathroom and shower facilities for campers and most staff. Both men’s and women’s sides have three showers each, including one handicapped accessible shower each. They also include toilets and sinks with running water and a changing table.
In addition to all of these accommodations, Camp Palisades has basketball, volleyball, and shuffleboard courts, along with a ping-pong table, and foosball. And did we mention the acres and acres of beautiful forested mountains on every side of you!
We endeavor to keep our campground well kept and in clean, running order. We ask that any groups who use the Camp Palisades grounds do likewise. Please help us keep these facilities in good shape for many more generations of campers to use and enjoy.
