Knotted Pines Retreats in Greeley, Pennsylvania

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Lake Owego Camp and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this venue was something truly special. Here is why we highly recommend Lake Owego Camp (or any of the camps run by Pine Forest Camp):
Event Spaces:
Pine Forest Camp boasts three different camps nearby, and we had the privilege of getting married at Lake Owego Camp. The ceremony took place in the open-air theater, with the serene pond serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The dining hall, where all our meals and the wedding reception were held, provided a warm and inviting atmosphere. With around 20 shared cabins and 15 private rooms onsite, our 130 guests were comfortably accommodated for the entire weekend. We also took advantage of the outdoor eating area for our rehearsal dinner. The venue's additional amenities, including a swimming pond, kayaking, fishing, fields for sports and lawn games, tennis and basketball courts, a hockey rink, and hiking trails, ensured there was never a dull moment.
Ambience:
Immersing ourselves in the mountain camp ambiance was a dream come true. The venue's quiet, wooded surroundings, lush greens, and natural interiors created a tranquil atmosphere. The use of pine throughout the camp added a touch of rustic charm, providing a perfect setting for our special weekend.
Cabins:
The cabins at Lake Owego Camp brought back memories of summer camp, offering a unique and nostalgic experience. Equipped with cots and bunks, each cabin featured ample facilities, including two showers, two toilets, and two sinks. While there was no AC or heating, it wasn't an issue for us in early June.
Catering:
Working closely with Matt, we crafted an outstanding menu that not only met our budget but also catered to various dietary restrictions. Our guests were particularly delighted by the taco night!
Customer Service:
Elly, our point person at Pine Forest Camp, was an absolute delight to work with. Her exceptional communication skills and availability ensured that our questions were promptly answered and concerns addressed. Elly went above and beyond to create systems that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the weekend without being overwhelmed by the minute details. Her dedication and professionalism made a significant difference in our overall experience.
Flexibility:
When our previous venue unexpectedly canceled just two months before our wedding date, Pine Forest Camp showed tremendous understanding and flexibility. They graciously accommodated our situation, working with us to create the wedding weekend we had envisioned. Their willingness to go the extra mile truly demonstrated their commitment to making our dreams come true.
Overall:
Without hesitation, we give Lake Owego Camp and the Pine Forest Camp crew a perfect score of 10 out of 10. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone seeking a truly remarkable wedding experience. Our heartfelt thanks go to Elly, Matt, and the entire team for making our wedding weekend unforgettable for us and our guests. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and dedication to creating a magical atmosphere surpassed our expectations. Lake Owego Camp will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

Being married at camp was a highlight of our lives. Our friends and family still talk about our wedding weekend (not just the wedding!) as the best wedding they'd ever been to, the most awesome weekend getaway for everyone invited! It's great, too, because big or small, a camp wedding truly becomes a private, personalized, magical little oasis for the bride and groom and their guests. It's a perfect place to focus on family, friends, and what really matters. And isn't that what a wedding is all about?! :)

Camp Timber Tops was the most wonderful wedding venue we could've asked for. It's a weekend in the Poconos where not only you can have the reception, ceremony, and rehearsal dinner all in one place, but the team basically did everything we wanted or could've asked for (s'mores, after-party and music, last minute request). For the weeks leading up to the wedding they were 100% on top of things and couldn't be more thankful!

From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into another world. Nestled in the woods, the venue created an atmosphere that was both enchanting and intimate, like our own private escape. Everywhere you looked, the trees, the light, and the natural beauty made the entire weekend feel truly magical.
What made it even more special was the sense of togetherness. It wasn’t just a wedding day, it was a wedding weekend. Friends and family all gathered in one place, sharing meals, laughter, late-night talks, and morning coffee together. That sense of community and closeness is something you just can’t capture in a single evening, and it made the whole experience unforgettable.
Every detail was thoughtful, every moment was meaningful, and the magic of being surrounded by both nature and the people we love most is something we’ll carry with us forever.

Our Dream Wedding at Timber Tops Camp
We truly had our dream wedding at Timber Tops Camp! From the beautiful pine forest setting to the incredible activities and accommodations, the entire weekend was absolutely magical and exceeded our expectations.
We chose the full-access camp experience, which included the rope course, lake, and pool, and it made our wedding weekend feel like a once-in-a-lifetime celebration rather than just a single day. We had approximately 175 guests, and everyone was able to stay comfortably in the cabins and enjoy the entire weekend together. Having our family and friends all in one place created so many unforgettable memories.
Elly was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always there to answer our questions, help with accommodations, and assist us with vendors. Her support made planning a wedding of this size so much easier and less stressful.
And we cannot say enough about Matt and his staff! Matt is an exceptional chef who prepared a truly memorable wedding reception dinner, while also providing delicious meals throughout the entire weekend. There was such a wonderful variety of food, including options to accommodate different dietary needs. Our guests are still talking about the food!
If you're looking for a magical, unique, and unforgettable wedding location, Timber Tops Camp is truly something special. Getting married surrounded by the pine forest, having all of our loved ones stay together, enjoying the lake, pool, and activities, and celebrating for an entire weekend made our wedding everything we dreamed it would be.
It was more than a wedding — it was an experience our guests will be talking about for years to come. ❤️🌲✨
Thank you, Timber Tops Camp, for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
