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.
“Being able to come to a place like this, being around so many open minded people, and being able to volunteer and give back to a place that gives people so much, has truly been an unforgettably life changing experience that I continue to be grateful for.”

“Your facilities and location are outstanding for retreats, and the staff are incredibly courteous and helpful. Being in the mountains, wandering along the streams and paths and disconnecting from the business of our daily lives was wonderful. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and warm environment.”

“It was a lovely weekend as it always is at Menla! Thank you. It truly is a special place in many ways. The people who work there and run the place really do make the difference, as they are all very nice and kind. I’ve been to other like places where that typically isn’t the case. I realized this past weekend that just being at Menla is simply awesome!”
