Camping Facilities

Camping options at Vortex range from our secluded wooded, "outer" sites to those with creature comforts that provide water and electricity. Shower and bathroom facilities are available to all campers. Please call ahead to reserve a location as the campgrounds sites go fast, especially on holiday and event weekends.

Because all accommodations are "camp ground facilities", guests are required to furnish their own linens. Simply bring sleeping bags, your pillow, and a beach towel. Both lodgings have large double-sided barbecue grills located in front of the covered porch that runs the length of the building. An extra long picnic table is provided at each end of the porch.

Large groups needing the 26 person accommodations will find 4 separate dormitories, two in Pinewood and two in Ottercreek Lodge. These rooms are furnished with bunk beds and divided male/female bathroom and showering facilities. Heated and air conditioned, these "dorms" are a cost effective way to bring groups of all ages. Whether planning a reunion, company retreats, counseling retreats, or a church group, these dormitories will fulfill your large group needs. Parking is just outside your door and there are large covered front porches, lots of grilling facilities and campfire areas in the front yard.

Reservations can be made by calling between 7am and 5pm CST daily. Reservations for rooms require a valid credit card number and at least one person staying over night must be at least 21 years of age.
