Our experience at Camp Colton was honestly beautiful. The criqtues are minor compared to how much this venue offered us. The atmosphere is whimsical and the lay out of the venue is wonderfully convenient. They offer a chapel or an outdoor area for your ceremony and a gathering hall for your reception. There are his and hers cabins complete with bathrooms, showers, mirrors, etc. There are cabins you can over night in the day of the wedding and tons of beautiful areas to walk around in, take photos, and just embrace natures beauty.
