Whether it's a large group function, a family reunion, a school or church retreat, a youth group lock-in, or just a
quiet get-away to the lakes, we offer comfortable
accommodations at affordable rates...year-round! If it's
overnight space you're looking for, our full range of
cabin choices can sleep anywhere from 16 - 62 people.
All cabins and retreat lodges include kitchenettes,
bathrooms and central living areas with plenty of space. With over 200
available beds we can handle your large group, too!

meetings, conferences, or retreats, bring your group to
Okoboji's carpeted Baskerville Dining Hall. Cozy up by the
fire or enjoy the cool breezes of air conditioning. Take
a coffee break on its 3000-sq. ft. wrap-around deck,
perfect for large group outdoor barbequing or summer
iced tea sipping. Your group could meet in the historic
Methodist Camp Tabernacle, which seats up to 600. Enjoy
