 Camp Holiday Trails – Your Wedding Venue with a Purpose. Exchange vows, gather with friends and family, and celebrate your union at Camp.

 
Nestled in the serene foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia, Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) is a year-round nonprofit organization with a rich history of making a difference. Our venue is available for rentals year-round, except from June 1 through mid-August during our Summer Programs. By choosing CHT for your special day, you’re not just securing a beautiful and unique location—you’re also supporting our mission, with all rental income directly funding our transformative programs.
 
Camp is the perfect spot in Charlottesville for an intimate wedding. Enjoy the Blue Ridge Mountains only a quick jaunt from downtown. Please feel free to check out our wedding brochure for more information.

Our Venue

Choose from beautiful spots across our 73 acres, including the Pasture under the trees,
the Pavilion field, the Campfire Circle, or the serene Waterfront with floating docks.
Find the perfect setting for your “I do.” 

Our Dining Hall, located at the heart of Camp, offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere for your special day. Large windows overlook the lush woods that separate upper and lower Camp, while sliding doors open onto a spacious wraparound deck, perfect for mingling and enjoying the views.

With exposed beams and wooden floors, the space provides a charming backdrop that can be dressed up or down to suit your style. Ideal for weddings of up to 150–175 guests, the Dining Hall features an attached industrial kitchen, making it an excellent choice for both ceremonies and receptions.

The Pavilion provides a versatile covered space surrounded by the natural beauty of Camp. Nestled at the base of a hill and near the large Campfire Circle, it’s a favorite spot for receptions. Features include overhead lighting, electrical outlets, a stage area, and durable concrete floors.

Sliding barn doors allow the space to be enclosed as needed, while picnic tables, benches, or rental furniture can create the perfect setup for your guests between the bar and dance floor. With its open-air feel and protection from the elements, the Pavilion ensures your celebration goes smoothly, rain or shine.

Prepare for your special day in the comfort of our Lodges and Blazer Cabin. Our two beautiful Lodges, each accommodating up to 14 guests, are the perfect places to get ready and relax before your wedding. Each Lodge features an attached deck, offering a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the serene surroundings. Conveniently located within an easy walk to all Camp venues, these modern cabins also include fully equipped kitchens for a stress-free experience. 

For added convenience, we provide access to our Blazer Cabin, offering an additional private space for couples to get ready on the day of the ceremony. Celebrate your big day with everything you need right here at Camp!

I moved to the area because of CHT, changed my career path, and even married my husband at Camp.

Ashleigh

Camp was the perfect, budget-friendly choice for our intimate wedding! The grounds are beautiful and unique— exactly what we hoped for. Best of all: our payment went toward a wonderful cause, which made the day feel even more meaningful.

Abigail

CHT was a great option for our wedding venue. From spending time with friends and family in the lodges, cooking meals together in the industrial kitchen, and even karaoke in the pavilion. There are so many great spaces at Camp to choose from.
