Welcome to Camp Registration!
COVID: If you’ve tested positive within the 10 days leading up to camp, please stay home. If you’ve been around someone who has tested positive, please plan to test yourself within the 48-hours leading up to camp.
GUESTS: Spring Camp is a GUEST FRIENDLY event – meaning camp is only available to current LOIA members and our invited guests. Keep in mind that LV is 18+, 420 friendly and allows nudity. There are people who participate in all of the above, and those that participate in none of the above. All we ask is that you be respectful of your fellow campers. (Please note, the campground is run and staffed by cis-gay men. The campground owner and staff may participate in the use of the grounds (including nudity and/or pool access), during our reserved weekend.)
Pool: LV has an inground pool that is available during camp office hours. Generally 8am-10pm, or when Jerry heads to bed. You are welcome to bring floaties, or use those provided on-site.
ACCOMODATIONS: There are a total of 13 cabins on site (4 small, 5 medium and 4 large), plenty of tent spaces as well as full electric/water sites with dumping for RV folks. Cabins require a 2-night stay (Friday-Sunday). It is highly recommended that large cabins be shared between parties that can occupy all bed spaces available. There are two sets of bathrooms – by the office and at the pavilion. Showers are available in the office restrooms. The campground runs on well water. For more information, please visit our FAQs.
CABIN LOTTERY: Spring Camp will employ a Lottery System. (Please note we reserve the right to return to a first-come, first serve reservation for future camps.) Of the 13 cabins available, up to 2 cabins are reserved for LOIA camp staff and up to 2 cabins are prioritized for those with medical need*. The remainder cabins will be pulled in a lottery on Monday, April 14th. Priority will be given to campers who elect to camp for the full four nights. (LV cannot currently accommodate cleaning between guests for partial bookings.) Any cabins unfilled, will be drawn for those who elect for 3-night and 2-night stays. LV Campground will remain "public use" until Friday as 12pm, unless we are able to book out all of the cabins earlier during the reservation period.
To participate in the Cabin Lottery, please proceed to book your stay using the form below. Under "Cabin" you will find "Cabin Lottery". Booking under this product will allow you to elect participation in the Small, Medium, and/or Large Cabin Lotteries during the registration process. In addition, you may elect to use the Medical Need qualifier for access to the Medical Need lottery. Upon submission of this form, you will receive confirmation of your elections via email. Cabin Lottery will be pulled on Monday, April 14th. You will be notified via email and text message if your reservation has been drawn. You will have until Wednesday, April 16th at 8:00am to submit your 50% deposit via your e-mailed invoice. Failure to submit your deposit will result in a forfeit of your cabin and a re-pull will occur. Any subsequent pull will be notified by email, text, and will have 24 hours to submit the designated deposit.
*Please note, if you elect for Medical Need and are NOT drawn for the designated medical need lottery, you will be included in the remaining draws for the size of cabin(s) you've elected.
** Please note, NONE of the cabins are ADA compliant. If you have ADA needs, we recommend booking at one of the local hotels listed in the FAQ section under the Surroundings tab. Consider also checking out the Accessibility tab for camper experiences.
DEPOSIT: All bookings require a 50% deposit, payable through the reservation system below. You will be emailed a link to complete the final payment. The final payment will be due by May 23rd, end of day. If you require an extension to complete your full payment, please reach out to admin@lesbiansofiowa.org by May 19th. If you DO NOT pay your full payment and DO NOT request an extension, your cabin will be released to the Cabin Lottery. Failure to submit a deposit or final payment, without notice or communication, will result in a 1 camp suspension from the Cabin Lottery system.
If at any point you have a concern or question about reservations, please reach out to admin@lesbiansofiowa.org. For more information about the campground, check out LV Campground!
