On-site cabin lodging: For those that are interested, on-site lodging is available to all at $40 pp/night, which includes linens. These are summer camp style cabins with single beds. Some cabins have restrooms en suite and some have restrooms in a separate building nearby. Cabins have 4-8 beds each so you will be sharing space with others BUT we will only place guests in groups they know (no bunking with strangers!).

We understand this setup is unique and not for everybody, which is why we have additional options listed below. If interested, this option will be available to book along with RSVPs (coming soon!).

Hotel option with transportation: We have secured a room block at the Hampton Zion Crossroads Gordonsville (15 minute drive from Camp Friendship) for Thursday, September 25-Sunday, September 28 (although you can book any combination of dates within the timeframe). We will provide bussed transportation to and from the venue for the Saturday Ceremony/Reception for those staying at the Hampton Inn. Follow the link or use the code CHH104 at checkout. As of mid-March, it is actually cheaper to book outside of the block if using Hilton Honors or selecting the non-refundable rate. Feel free to book outside of the block if there is availability!

Other options without transportation: Everyone is welcome to stay off-site in other hotels or home rentals in the area. Note that transportation will only be provided for those at the Hampton Zion Crossroads Gordonsville. However, there is parking available at Camp Friendship. Ubers/Lyfts might be difficult when leaving the Reception so please only choose this option if you plan to drive or arrange alternative transportation.

Please note that the UVA-Florida State football game is in Charlottesville on Friday, September 26. This is likely to impact availability of lodging in Charlottesville.
