The pavilion · Salida, Colorado
Everyone stays on the property.
A covered pavilion between two ponds, the South Fork running past, and beds for the whole party — rooms, a bunk house, tent meadows and forty-two campsites. Nobody drives home.
Why here
The hard part of a Colorado wedding is where everyone sleeps.
Most Salida venues solve the ceremony and leave you to scatter a hundred guests across town. This one doesn't.
Ceremony
Pavilion and meadow
A covered pavilion in the meadow between Big Pond and Little Pond, with the river and the Collegiate Peaks behind it. Capacity to confirm.
Lodging
Rooms and bunk house
Lodge rooms and a barn bunk house on site for the wedding party, plus a second bunk house by the west entrance. Counts to confirm.
Guests
Forty-two campsites
RV and tent sites for everyone else, from the folks who tow to the cousins in a rental van. Whole-park buyouts available.
Evening
Six fire rings
The reception doesn't have to end at the pavilion. Fire rings across the meadow and along the river, all in fire pans.
Food
Restaurant on site
A restaurant at the highway end of the property for the rehearsal dinner or the morning after. Arrangements to confirm.
Getting here
