We were disappointed with the igloo experience at The Camp for New Year's Eve. We paid an extra $10 per person to have an igloo with a heater and upon arrival we were told sorry, there's no heater in your igloo only due to an electrical issue. But other people had heaters and no concession was made for us. We just had to deal with being cold because we dressed assuming there would be a heater. The food was subpar and cold. Nachos were a soggy mess since they didn't put the chips to the side. Chili was cold on the nachos. We never had a waitress until we had to track one down even though that was supposed to be part of our experience and the extra money paid. When we did get a waitress she was good but never did anything about our heater. She also said she would try to get us more blankets but never did. The igloos were so far from the stage that we were bored. No TV or anything there to do. We wished that we didn't pay the extra fee for the igloo. If The Camp is going to advertise heaters, waitresses, etc in a reserved spot then they need to be sure those things are in place or offer a partial refund. Also, I feel like the music for New Year's Eve should be a bit more tailored to a wide variety and more young and hip for the venue. I will say the balloon drop was fun even though it didn't go quite as they planned and took awhile to get to to drop. Overall, this could be a much better experience with better management and service. I would pay a lot more to bring my extended family if I was confident the experience would be worth the price.

Our server was nice, but not very attentive. I think they were short staffed. We had to wait 20 minutes beyond our reservation time to be seated because the "Rudolph Room" had to be closed out with previous patrons. Drinks were SUPER slow to arrive, expensive, and not very good. I ordered hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps. It was tepid, wasn't stirred, actually way too much schnapps. The heater was on, but barely put out any heat. Despite these let downs, we still had a great time because it's Christmas! The decor was festive, Buddy The Elf made a surprise appearance, and the trivia was super fun. If The Camp can iron out the issues with the service, management, drinks, and heaters, it could be amazing because the concept and environment are exceptional.

Got to the camp & they said I did not have a reservation which I showed them my open table reservation but still did not have a room for our Christmas party. They did give a free drink which was awful. Needless to say we all left & had to go find somewhere to eat!

Cute for pictures but not worth paying for a reservation at all. We paid for one of the experiences which was a freezing room with no direct heat source. We were supposed to have a server and were told they’d be with us shortly but no one ever came so we ordered from the bar. When we let the bar know for the 3rd time (after an hour of waiting) they said they’d be with us shortly. We later learned they were understaffed which is understandable but no one felt the need to inform us of until at the end of 2 hours with no server, when we asked for a refund. They informed me they would refund me the reservation fee but never did. The place is cute but cocktails are expensive, subpar, and not worth paying for the experience. Used to be a lot of fun to go, we had high hopes since they expanded, but so far has been disappointing each time.

The creative Christmas drinks and theming was very good. But I would not recommend paying extra for an igloo. It was supposed to come with milk and cookies, which we never got. The hostess came to kick us out of the igloo when our 2 hrs was up, and when we asked about the milk and cookies she just said our server was supposed to handle that and didn’t do anything to fix it or even apologize. So the $60 for the igloo is not worth it. The food was meh and overpriced. The drinks were very good though.

Everything was great, but didn't realize the kitchen opened at 11. Got there early only to wait 30 minutes to be able to order, but we had fun walking around looking at all the great decorations. Didn't see any Christmas characters until we were walking out to leave.. but Buddy the Elf said hi, and my day was made :)

I would recommend. The only issue is it took forever to get my food order and it’s crazy that the drinks are so high, and in such small mugs.
