CHH Lodging Options

All Camp Hawthorn Hollow (CHH) lodging options have fire rings and dry firewood. Our lodges have no AC, so we suggest bringing fans in the warm summer months. CHH uses well water, which has a different taste and odor than city water. Feel free to bring bottled water for your weekend.

Villages: Fairwinds, Waterways, Metro, and Otsikita

Each village sleeps 20 people and is comprised of five rustic cabins—each of which sleeps four people on cots and has a multipurpose space and refrigerator. Bathrooms are located at Old Faithful, and showers are located at the Shower House.

Lodge: Maple View

Maple View sleeps 22 people and has an updated kitchen and common room separate from the sleeping areas. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, and dishware—however, we still encourage every camper to bring a mess kit. The lodge also has bathrooms with flush toilets, and showers are located at the Shower House.
