Our 300-acre mountain property hosts businesses, organizations, schools, families or individuals looking to gather, celebrate, grow and foster a sense of community in a beautiful lakeside setting. It’s a perfect location to disconnect from everyday life and connect with your people, your group’s goals and the incomparable natural abundance of the Colorado Rockies. Soak in the rusticity of mountain life, glamping tent and cabin accommodations and wild surroundings (yes, there are moose) while also enjoying gold standard operations, enriching programming and full-service support.
Here, roughing it leads to resilience and unplugging leads to greater connectivity.
We provide you with everything you need for a memorable gathering: beautiful views, a variety of meeting areas, cozy cabins and spacious glamping tents, food service options and tons of activities. Rental and retreat options at Camp Tumbleson Lake are fully customizable. We create packages that cater to your preferences, the size of your group, your accommodation and dining needs and the adventures you want to experience.
