Frequently Asked Questions

The name “Camp7” was inspired by both the popular 1970s outdoor outfitting company, of the same name (Camp7) and the highest and most demanding Camp before the summit of Mount Everest. The owners of Camp7 wanted to create a space that embodied the spirit of adventure and exploration, much like the iconic Camp VII. Drawing from this idea, “Camp7” represents a place where people can disconnect from the everyday, challenge themselves, and embrace the beauty of the outdoors—just as climbers do at one of the most awe-inspiring locations on earth.

Camp7 gear was a staple during camping trips and outdoor adventures when Scott (one of the Camp7 owners) was a kid and played a part in his love for the outdoors from a young age. While Camp7 the outdoor company is no longer producing gear, their high-quality items still get used on many of our outdoor explorations and adventures and serve as inspiration to get people outside.

While we are dog and cat lovers, because of the large amount of wildlife at Camp7 and around the property, we respect their habitat and therefore ask that you leave your pets at home. 

We do require rental of the cabin in order to “reserve” the property and ensure total privacy. Once you’ve booked your reservation at the cabin, rest assured you will be staying in your own private paradise. We never book anyone or any other parties at Camp7 when you are our guest. See our Booking Details page for more information about booking options and add-on accommodation options. We are honored that you are considering Camp7 for a stay and welcome you and your family to our special slice of paradise.

    The pond does not contain chlorine. It is safe for swimming due to the natural spring that delivers fresh water, and the aerators that keep the water circulating at all times.

There are a few deep-water Grass Carp in the pond that help to control algae and aquatic vegetation growth. Please do not attempt to catch any fish you may see. They are not for catching purposes as they help maintain the natural balance of the pond.
