Information
CAYC offers dozens of spacious RV and tent sites, perfect for families who prefer to bring their own accommodations.
RV sites include water and electrical hookups, with a dump station conveniently located near the camp entrance.
Tent sites are located near a shower building for your comfort and convenience.
Your entire family is welcome to stay with you in your RV or tent. Please note: the cost per person is the same as if staying in cabins, as it includes meals and full access to camp facilities.
Pricing
Every person staying in an RV or tent must pay the individual registration fee, which includes your site and 9 meals served in the dining hall during your stay.
Registration: $350 per person
Please note: the cost remains the same even if you choose not to eat the provided meals, so we highly encourage you to take full advantage of the fresh, family-style dining experience at Cascades.
Example:
If 3 people are staying in one RV, the total cost is the registration fee x 3.
