Little Glen Lake can occasionally experience swimmer's itch during portions of the summer. We recommend applying waterproof sunscreen before swimming and showering with soap afterward as a precaution.

🏡 Flexible Group Stays
Traveling with a larger group? Camp Haven currently features three unique vacation rentals that can be reserved individually or together:

• Heron House – 5-bedroom lakefront home

• Sandpiper Cottage – 4-bedroom beachfront cottage (this listing)

• Mallard Cabin – 3-bedroom home

Together, the three homes offer 12 bedrooms with shared access to 100 feet of beautiful Little Glen Lake frontage, a sandy beach, complimentary kayaks and a paddleboat, and spacious shared outdoor amenities—making Camp Haven an ideal destination for family reunions, retreats, and group getaways.

Coming Spring 2027: An additional waterfront cabin of 2 bedrooms is being renovated and will join Camp Haven, expanding the retreat to four homes with a total of 14 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms.
