RENT CAMP
WELCOME TO CAMP BEAUSITE NORTHWEST!
In just the last few years, we have been blessed with the funding to create and build this incredible facility. We started with our bathhouse which was completed in 2015 and then moved on to the bunkhouses which were completed in 2017. Finally, our lodge and commercial kitchen went through a huge remodel and were just completed in May of 2019. We are incredibly excited to share with you all that has been accomplished and completed here at Camp Beausite Northwest! None of which could have been possible without the incredible determination of our Board of Directors, Staff, Volunteers, Donors, and our incredible Families & Campers.
CBNW is always learning and growing and we welcome any feedback to help us be our best. Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff and let them know how we can make your stay even more enjoyable.
Thank you so much for being a part of our family here at Camp Beausite Northwest and we hope you enjoy your stay!
The information on this page is to help our renters understand how the camp operates and what is expected of those who rent from us. Because we are a camp (not a resort!) we need our renters to help us keep our expenses down by pitching in and helping with this process. Thank you … you have our gratitude.
When it’s time to complete the rental process, you will be provided with print-outs of everything on this page.
For information on availability and rates please call (360) 732-7222 or e-mail info@campbeausite.org, Program Director.
