    Tying the Knot in the Great
    Outdoors

    Happy Camper Blog

    No florist required – campground
    weddings offer beautiful natural surroundings and more.

    If you’re looking to host a memorable
    wedding in a unique location with gorgeous backdrops, maybe you should
    consider a campground for the big day!

    The
    serene natural setting of a campground provides a relaxing atmosphere for the
    whole group, where they can soak up the peacefulness of the great
    outdoors.

    Many campgrounds have club houses, open-air
    pavilions, and acres of manicured grass perfect for ceremonies and
    receptions. Plus, many also offer spas for the bridal party to
    indulge and relax before the ceremony, and a choice of convenient accommodations
    like yurts and park
    models so the bridal party can get ready in
    style.

    Looking to start planning your wedding now? Check
    out a sampling of parks that make a great setting for tying the
    knot.
