Camp Hale Weddings

Set 15 miles from Vail within the White River National Forest, Camp Hale Weddings occupies historically significant grounds once home to 15,000 soldiers of the 10th Mountain Army Division during World War II — the same soldiers who returned from service abroad to help establish Colorado's ski industry, including Vail Mountain itself. Today, the property offers an outdoor mountain wedding setting at elevation, surrounded by aspen and pine groves with 12,000-foot peaks as backdrop and the Eagle River running through the site. The venue accommodates up to 250 guests across two distinct spaces: a ceremony island set on the Eagle River featuring log benches, a four-post wooden arch, and a PA sound system, and a 40-by-80-foot white-frame reception tent with wood-stamped concrete flooring, festival lights, a full-ceiling white liner, and forced-air heat. Two complimentary log cabins — each with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchen — are included with all bookings. Camp Hale hosts traditional weddings, micro-weddings, elopements, weekend buyouts, and private dinners. All alcohol is provided and served directly by the venue's staff. An outside professional event planner is required for all events.
