Looking for a memorial day weekend getaway? Look no further than the backyard of the Holy City at Woodlands Nature Reserve’s Camp Fest.

Located around 15 miles outside of downtown this is a great spot to get some fresh air and spend quality time with family and friends. The property allows for primitive, tent, RV, and trailer camping.

Camp Fest will feature a three day long weekend for groups to camp on the property. The festival will run from Friday, May 26 to Monday May 29.

This includes access to using the ponds to go kayaking, paddle boarding and sit on their freshwater beach. The reserve also has bike trails so make sure to bring bikes for your whole group to enjoy.

All ages are welcome and it is $40 per person, with tickets for sale online.

Pro tip: pack up your tent, cooler, and guitar as you can bring all the food, drink, and music you like.
