Backcountry Camps & Cabins

Pre-book your stay at one of our 5 historic and strategically located camps. We’ve made it easy by having all of our backcountry camps fully stocked with sleeping bags, camp footwear, fleece jackets, and a camp host. Arrive at camp each day to a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal freshly prepared by our camp hosts and served in the comfort of a warm & outfitted cabin. Rest well in the cozy bed of one of our double occupancy canvas walled sleeping tents, and wake recharged and ready for the next day’s adventures!

It’s a great idea to spend a night or two in the area before/after joining us for a trip. Our base (and where you will start your trip) is located at Tyax Lodge.
