Summer Housing Options

June 27, 2025 by Milo Shapiro

A little history, for those who THINK they know this camp:

CMG has been to Enchanted Hills thrice previously (the weekend that Princess Diana died in 1997, again in 1998 [“old” Enchanted Hills], and again in 2019). But even since 2019, they’ve built A LOT. Let’s just say, you might not recognize the place! If you remember the “Lake Cabins”, they’re still there. But there are many, many [many, many] NEW options that we have yet to experience! None of that makes it easy to describe to you. But we’re about to try…

Before going into the indoor housing options, here are the
THREE OUTDOOR HOUSING OPTIONS at the Basic Price ($465)

For these three, you’ll need to bring your own bedding, but you’ll have your own private space. Each man must be registered individually, and there’s no price difference between these options.

1] Tenting (Basic Price):
Prefer the great outdoors and privacy? You’re welcome to bring and pitch a tent in a designated area that’s tucked away from the main camp.

2] Vanning (Basic Price):
If you’re vanning, your van stays in a nearby lot,

3] RVing (Basic Price):
There are just a few spots (no hookups), so act fast!

INDOOR HOUSING OPTIONS
ALL indoor housing options, from Basic to the highest end, include sheets, blanket, one pillow, and a pillow case. We believe you’re on your own for towels, though, so pack those.

Basic Dormitory (Basic Price = $465):
Stay in a shared room with four Twin bunks (8 men total). Bathrooms are in a separate building. A limited number of Full-Size bunks are available—first come, first served. You can also share a Full-Size bunk with a friend; both pay the Basic price.

Standard Upgrade (+$105):
These rooms offer Twin or Queen beds (shared occupancy). You may request a Queen, but unless you have a roommate, we can’t guarantee solo use. Shared bathrooms are conveniently located in the same building.

Deluxe Upgrade (Twins +$170; Queens +$185):
Enjoy a stay in our classic “Lakeside” cabins. Each room has its own private bathroom shared only with your roommate.

Premium Upgrade (Queens only, +$235):
The most private option. Two rooms available: one with a Queen for single or double occupancy, and one Double Queen for groups of four. Private, attached bathrooms in both. If demand is low, we may offer single occupancy at double the price. Lodging is charged per room, while meals are charged per person—like a hotel setup.

– we’ll be there May 23 – 26, 2025, so save those dates
– it will be held at Pathfinder Ranch in Mountain Center, CA (outside of Idyllwild)
– it’s going to be a sweet time with terrific men
