Campground for a camping wedding?
Posted: July 3rd, 2020, 9:03 am
Heya! My fiance and I are looking to get married in late summer/early fall 2021. She and I are both super outdoorsy and are looking to hold the ceremony/celebration out in the woods as sort of a camping retreat. We are originally from Portland, but have only moved back after about a decade away, so we don't really have an idea of good spots anymore. We would love some ideas about where might be a good site!
Our ideal would be to reserve either a whole small campground or a good portion of space at a larger campground; something pretty and on the more remote side, but hopefully with toilets. We're not crazy party people looking to get wasted or blast loud music, we are just looking to have something relaxed, casual and joyful with a chosen family of around fifty or so. Probably not everyone would want to stay and camp, but we'd like to invite anyone who wants to to do so. We would be looking to be there for two full days, arriving in the morning to set up, having the ceremony / reception in the evening, having a good night of camping fun, and tear down and clean up the next day.
We'd like it to be within an hour and a half (ish) of Portland so that people have the easy choice to either stay and camp the night or head back to Portland after the wedding stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas if there is a site that would work for this? Thanks in advance!
