Family Reunion
7/24/2015 at 8:35 AM

Looking for suggestions for a family reunion venue.
Nothing in town seems to have everything in one spot but maybe I have missed something.
We need an outdoor area for games.
We need an indoor area for older folk to beat the heat and to be in if it rains.
We need on site camping areas.
A place to heat food or refridgerate would be a huge plus.

Anyone know of such a spot?

Hamiota is about 1 hour away... Has a nice grocery, gas, pool , golf... And has a pavilion, which has outdoor camping spots right there and is wonderful for family reunion set up!

Rent the Pavilion at Minnedosa Beach. Close to camping, green space & town. May have to rent your own port-a-potty though.

Isn't there a washroom facility on the beach and are the ones at the pavillion not in operation any more??
Haven't been out there for a while.

I think you can rent the hall in Brookdale for a good deal. That might work for you.

washrooms

Yes there are washrooms on the beach area. The Pavilion washrooms are only open when the canteen is and the canteen is not open this year. You could ask when you are renting the Pavilion if they would open them. I know I went to a wedding there a few years ago & they had to rent a porta-potty because the washrooms were not part of the rental.
