Our Cabins & Lodges
- Family Camp Nawakwa is one camp that is divided by two areas called North and South Camp. Each camp offers a variety of attractions.
- North Camp has 23 cabins and is host to the 8 winterized buildings that are used during the fall, winter, and spring. If you like a little more activity and socialization during the summer, then North Camp is the place to be. The larger swimming area, and Welcome Center complete with free wi-fi are the preferred gathering places.
- South Camp has 14 cabins and is considered the quiet end of camp. If you're looking to have a more quiet vacation experience, you may want to stay in a South Camp cabin. The small cabins on the ridge have a beautiful view of the lake and the wind will flow through the screen porch and warm your soul. The beach and swimming area are quiet and peaceful. The view of the surrise and sunsets are a great way to begin and end your day
- The Bridge Builder is camps group and family retreat center. The building is attractive for both family gatherings as well as retreat or group outings.
- North and South Camp have very modern bath/shower facilities that were renovated in 2009 & 2010. They have ceramic tile floors, individual showers, high rise toilets, and hot and cold running water. Campers who rent a cabin without a bathroom, will find the central wash houses both attractive and clean! We encourage guests who want a more economical vacation to consider renting cabins that utilize the central wash house.
