7 Reasons to Host Your Next Family Reunion at a Campground

Planning your next family reunion? While we all know that getting family together is well worth it, the logistics of family reunions can feel overwhelming! Where should you go? Will it be expensive? What activities will you do while you're there? Whether your group is large or small, holding a family reunion at a campground is an unbeatable experience. Here's why!

7 Reasons to Host Your Next Family Reunion at a Campground

1.) Overnight Accommodations

Finding the right accommodations for everyone can be the biggest challenge of family reunions! At Somerset Beach Campground and Retreat Center, we offer both group lodges and rustic cabins. Our scenic lodges offer 8 bedrooms, a great room, a natural fireplace, a full kitchen, a scenic view of the lake, free wifi, and more.

Rustic cabins can also be an excellent choice for smaller groups and those who prefer to get a bit closer to nature (they still have heating and cooling!).

2.) Affordable Pricing

Campgrounds tend to be much more affordable than resorts, hotels, and other entertainment centers. But while they can offer the family significant savings, that doesn't mean there's less to do! In fact, campgrounds often provide more variety of opportunities for family bonding and daily activities than other venues.

3.) Outdoor Activities

There's nothing that brings a family together like spending time outdoors! Whether you're hiking, swimming, playing a round of disc golf, visiting the petting farm, or sitting around the bonfire roasting marshmallows at the end of the day, getting outside together creates unforgettable experiences that won't soon be forgotten.

4.) Room to Spread Out

While the focus of family reunions is to spend time together, everyone needs a quiet moment every now and then. Campgrounds offer the perfect environment to step away for a few minutes to think, read, or catch a nap in a hammock.

5.) Bonding Opportunities

Whether you're completing our low ropes and group building program, zipping down the zip line, practicing your archery skills, or competing in the gaga ball pit, campgrounds offer many activities that aren't readily accessible anywhere else.

These new experiences can be some of the best bonding opportunities for family members both young and old!

6.) Fun for All Ages

If your family ranges from young children to grandparents, it can be tricky to find accommodations that are interesting for everyone. Campgrounds have everything from playgrounds for toddlers to scenic lakeside seating for older adults. And at Somerset Beach Campground, our lodges offer modern amenities so that everyone can be comfortable.

7.) Memories That Last a Lifetime

Between the picturesque views, unique activities, and distance from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, holding your next family reunion at a campground is one of the best ways to create memories that will last a lifetime.

From deep conversations in front of a crackling fire to silly games and new adventures, campgrounds offer the perfect backdrop for building family relationships.
