Valentine Camp Facilities
Valentine Reserve’s facilities consist of a log classroom building constructed in 2000, three renovated log cabins constructed in the 1920s, and the Kohler tool shed. Each cabin has modern cooking, sleeping, bathroom facilities, electricity, spring water, and limited parking/storage space. There is no food or custodial service.

We are a small field station and need to support a wide array of research and teaching activities. We are a highly used station, and during our peak periods we need every available bed. Our university approved rate policy is based on a rate per person per night, and we do not have different rates for different houses or types of lodging. We do our best to group people into spaces by classes and research teams, and try not to mix unless we really need to do so. We will do our best to accomodate any special requests. We fully understand that everyone would love to have their own space, however that is often not possible here. As a field station we try our best to support as many valid uses as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
