CAMPING

Menla’s grounds offer ample space for camping. Whether you set your tent up on one of our wooden tent platforms or on one of the grassy areas just above the Pantherkill Stream, enjoy the sounds of nature. Bathrooms with showers and locker rentals for campers are available in the nearby lower level of the Nalanda Conference Center.

Campers must bring their own camping gear, including tent, sleeping bag, and pillow. Menla provides camper towels upon request. Pop-up campers are welcome with advanced notice, however there are no water or electric hookups available.

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”
