Testimonials

On 5/27/2025 Amber H. had this to say:
We had an unforgettable time at Waterloo Venue and Events for my son's graduation party, combined with a three-night camping trip with family and friends! The owner and staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making us feel right at home from start to finish. The venue was perfect for our celebration, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking--truly a stunning backdrop for our event. Some of our group stayed in the suite and the yurt, and they couldn't stop raving about how cute, clean, and comfortable both were. Everything was so well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. We had such a fantastic experience that we're already planning to make this an annual tradition with our family and friends. Highly recommend Waterloo Venue and Events for any special occasion or getaway!

Do you offer overnight accommodations like camping or glamping?

Absolutely! We offer traditional camping, glamping, and boondock sites for guests looking to stay overnight. And for those who love truly roughing it, we’ve just opened The Cascades of Waterloo—a primitive camping area open to the elements where you bring your own gear and embrace nature in its rawest form. Whether you're here for a festival, a retreat, or a quiet weekend under the stars, we have an overnight experience to match your adventure level.

Our suite above the pavilion features a king bed, full kitchen and bath and makes for a cozy overnight stay. Glamping guests have access to restrooms and showers, along with seasonal use of the outdoor kitchen in the pavilion. Amenities vary by booking, so be sure to ask what's included with your package.
