Camp Campbell

There’s truly no reason not to rave about YMCA Camp Campbell as a wedding venue! We spent a long time searching for the right place. We knew we didn’t want a typical ballroom and the moment we visited Camp Campbell, it was love at first sight. Surrounded by towering redwoods and full of charm, it felt like a dream. Every guest asked us how we found such a fun and unique venue. Adults and kids alike had a blast! The included activities like axe throwing and archery were a huge hit, and the food was absolutely delicious. We’re especially grateful for Amber, our venue coordinator. She was organized, responsive, and so easy to work with. She stayed in close communication throughout the entire process, worked seamlessly with all our vendors, and helped bring our dream day to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team. We’re so glad we chose Camp Campbell. It will always hold a special place in our hearts.

This place is beautiful! I was not expecting the quality of cabins, activities, food, or general facilities and just had an amazing weekend up at Camp Campbell’s Winter Family Camp over MLK weekend. I had been told it was awesome and was still thrilled at how nice everything was. Staff was amazing with the kids and the activities range from all skill levels and interests so there is always something to do. The lodge is incredible and cozy and my family and I had a great weekend. We will be back.

these photos are from 2019 when i last went because i went for science camp in 2014 for 5th which it was a lot of fun besides me feeling homesick. we went hiking, swimming, archery and sat by the big campfire oh and we did a skit stage performance which was exciting but when i happened to go again there was nothing to do and still they had bad food and the staff weren’t helpful like they were in 2014. They closed off the pool, didnt allow hiking, and like i said the food was bland and boring. They do have nice cabins and its a beautiful forest also i loved the garden they have but hopefully they fix these problems.

Amazing place for families with kids! So many fun activities and all are happening outdoors. The food is great too. We’ve made new friends here and enjoyed every minute of our experience. Can’t wait to go again! Special shout-out to Michael and staff in general, the organization exceeded all of our expectations! Make sure to book your spot in advance since those are very limited.

I just spent this past weekend at Camp Campbell and OMG BEST CAMPSITE EVER; I’m Disabled/wheelchair and omg the way everything was set up for me from the smooth terrain to the ADA compliant bathroom was absolutely amazing!

This is a good camp. It is not have the same feeling when I looked in the pictures compared in real life. We were expecting that were the only school there. But there isn’t, but at least 80% of the other schools are nice. My dining table is at table 11. The cabin leaders and the kids in that table are so nice and helpful. I was in the bobcat cabin. The kids are loud and noisy. They are seemingly nice. But I don’t think they are thinking positively about me. They should do better at cleaning the cups. I could not drink comfortably with it because I can still see milk stains. I heard one of the cabin leader is rude. I was expecting us to do more stuff like I see in the pictures and my yearbook. But only thing we do is hike, eat, sleep, and watching people perform on stage. The foods are good. I would rate this as a 7.5/10👍

I can’t express enough how touched I was by the warmth and charm of our stay at the cabin. It felt like a true home in Redwood, California. The beautiful iron woodwork added a heartfelt touch, making the space feel even more inviting. The tall ceiling glass windows and doors allowed for plenty of natural light. The built-in bunk beds were a delightful surprise—cozy and thoughtfully designed, complete with shelves, lights, and charging plugs for our devices. Through the small window, we enjoyed a lovely view of the majestic redwoods, enhancing our experience and creating lasting memories. The serene setting took my breath away, and it was heartwarming to see how much my family treasured every moment together. The meals were prepared with genuine care and consideration, turning our dining experiences into something truly enjoyable and bonding. I appreciated the clean-up system in place, which encouraged everyone to contribute by sorting scraps for compost and trash. This fostered a beautiful sense of teamwork and shared responsibility, making the experience feel more like a family affair. Our property tour was enlightening and offered new perspectives, though I’d suggest experiencing it during the daytime so everyone can fully appreciate the surrounding beauty. It was comforting to have a full schedule of planned activities, with my family's favorite being archery. Engaging options like wood burning, pottery, shelter building, crafts, and tie-dyeing shirts made every moment feel special. We’re already looking forward to returning for more adventures, including the climbing wall, swimming pool, ninja rope course, seesaw floor, and slingshots. There’s so much to explore, and the wonderful sense of togetherness we enjoyed was truly special. I highly recommend this place to families seeking a warm getaway from the city. It really is camping made extraordinary, with thoughtful details that make everyone feel at home.
