Camp Tanda provides a complete camping facility! You can choose where to stay even when you’re renting the whole facility exclusively for your group. Between camping with a tent outside in our campsites or sleeping in one of our A-frame cabins, Camp Tanda has something for everyone and every need. We have a very affordable and fully equipped space which enables us to accommodate you and provide the opportunity for you to promote your camp, event, retreat or just hang out with your loved ones for a weekend.
A-Frame Cabins
A warm simple space with a queen-sized bed, chair, small desk, closet and end tables. Here we can accommodate up to 4 (a family with 2 adults and up to 2 small children). Perfect for leaders during events, as well as families coming only for a weekend. We have two of these cabins available.
Tent Cabins
These are wood structures with canvas tent flaps with 6 double bunk beds inside (one queen-sized base) . Perfect for large groups during spring or summer. These tent cabins are not heated and do not have electricity but are great for providing a camping experience for youth groups. We have nine of these cabins available.
