Housing
Visitors to Lama usually choose to camp. We provide level spaces for tents and also have a limited amount of room for car camping. In addition, we have some indoor dormitory space available, as well as a limited number of private indoor spaces. If you require an indoor space, please reserve it in advance of your visit.
See below for photos of our many housing options.

Retreat Camping
Our retreat camping area provides lovely views. We also have limited space for car camping and small RV's. We do not have any electrical or sewage hook-ups. Larger RV's may have trouble making it up our narrow mountain road.
