Central lavatories and showers are located convenient to the cabins and the Main Lodge. Also, a three-bedroom, two-bath unit with kitchen is available to rent for an additional fee.

Tenting and R.V.'s?

We sometimes get asked if tent or R.V. sites are available. We do not have any "formal" tent or R.V. sites. However, tenting is permitted in designated areas and some smaller R.V.s may fit into the group parking lot. There is limited turn around area, so if you are considering bring a R.V. trailer – please take that into consideration. Electricity is not available in the parking area.

What does " rustic" mean?

Rustic means that the majority of the wooden cabins have bunk beds and mattresses. Participants need to bring bedding. The best is a sheet to put down over the mattress and bring a sleeping bag and pillow. Also the majority of the cabins do not have private restrooms. All cabins are heated.

What do I wear?

Camp Latieze is located at 3,000 ft. elevation. Spring and fall as well as early summer nights can be cool. Be sure to bring warm clothes for those times of year. Summer days are warm.
