Reviews

“Wonderful time”

We had a wonderful time and even caught some fish! We both think it’s great that you offer getaways not just for Veterans, but also include spouses and kids, which is so important as we all serve as a family.

“So Grateful”

Thank you for the opportunity to come to Camp Bliss, I am so grateful to be here! This time reminds me that I am important too, this is my re-charge time. Also, it was so great meeting new female Vets in a safe no judgement zone, I have learned many things to help me with my wellbeing, thank you again, I will be back!

“Clean and welcoming”

Staff made sure that we had everything that we needed to get started. The lodge was clean and welcoming, the beds were very comfortable. The lodge itself is so warm and inviting that we had a wonderful time, playing cards, putting together puzzles and of course enjoying great food.
