Retreat Center Rental

Why choose Camp Lily’s Campground and Retreat Center? At Howard Christensen Nature Center we are proud to have 11 trails of pure nature that add up to about 12 miles.

Camp Lily’s is a retreat center and campground for all types of events. From weddings, and scout service projects to fraternity events and family reunions. There is parking by the building and is plenty around the circle driveway. This gated entrance is not open to the public and is yours exclusively with your stay at Camp Lilys. There are two rooms with 12 beds each and the campground can accommodate approximately 50 tents. There are no RV hook ups or electric, but your guests are welcome to park off the grid in the circle drive.
