Picnic Reservations in the Pavilions

Members and Seasonal Campers only

Want to reserve a picnic in one of the pavilions? Read our policies below.

The Pavilions

Here at Lake Kandle we have two Pavilions available for picnic reservation. They are simply referred to as the Small and Large pavilion. The small pavilion is located next to the volleyball court and is reserved as a whole, whereas the large pavilion is divided into two sections, the front section (facing lake) and back section (borders pool parking lot).

            Each pavilion/ section is set-up with trash receptacles, picnic tables, and a large charcoal grill. Picnics are encouraged to grill their own food, order pizza from outside vendors, or even have the picnic catered.

            If you’re looking to store a cake in a cool space, you may leave your cake in the office. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee storage for ice cream cakes or other frozen treats. Ice cream, of course, can be purchased from the snack bar.

Rules, Policies, and Fees

Picnics are strictly limited to 35 non-member guests (members attending don’t count toward the limit) and must be approved by the office staff. A deposit for half of the expected guest count is needed to reserve a date (no raindates will be reserved). No additional fee is needed to use the pavilion, just the $8 guest fee, per guest. The remaining balance is to be paid by the member by closing time on the day of the picnic. In the event that we are collecting directly from guests, we will refund your deposit after all your guests have arrived. If canceling, please do so before 11AM on the date of your picnic to receive a refund. Refunds will not be issued for undesirable weather conditions, so we advise you to check the weather conditions the night before or morning of the picnic to determine whether to go or not.

Lake Kandle will not host picnics for churches, school field trips, or daycares. Picnics should be reserved for small family gatherings, birthday parties, and graduation parties whereby the member is the sole host of the event. Dealings will not be conducted with 3rd parties or non-members.

            If you are reserving a pavilion, please educate guests on Lake Kandle's safety rules and polices prior to arrival. As a host, you are responsible for your guests’ actions. Thank you and happy picnicking!
