    Natchez Trace State Park’s Group Lodge offers a historic, lodge-style retreat designed for meaningful group stays.

    Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s, the Group Lodge blends classic park character with thoughtfully updated spaces for gathering, lodging, and shared meals. Surrounded by forested landscapes and close to hiking trails, lakes, and open fields, the lodge creates an easy rhythm for groups to come together—whether for retreats, camps, reunions, or organized programs—while still enjoying the quiet and natural setting that defines Natchez Trace State Park.

    The Natchez Trace group lodge is an original Civilian Conservation Corps facility built in the late 1930s. It has been updated through the years to meet the needs of our guests. The group lodge consists of four cottages, a bunkhouse, and an admin building/kitchen. A fifth cottage can be added for an additional charge. The four included cottages sleep 10 people each, and the fifth additional cottage will accommodate six people. Each cottage has a full kitchen, two full baths, dining room, living room and deck with a picnic table. All sleeping arrangements are bunk beds, and linens are not furnished.

    The bunkhouse sleeps 24 people and has two bathrooms. There are six sets of bunk beds designed to sleep 12 people on each side of the house. The design may be used to house coeds separately, each having its own bathroom.

    The administration building is set up for group gatherings. There is a commercial kitchen and spacious dining room. There are four break-out rooms that provide an opportunity to divide into smaller group settings. 

    There is space to park two vehicles at each cottage and the bunkhouse. There is also ample parking adjacent to the administration building. There is a paved walkway that winds throughout the complex connecting the facilities. A volleyball court and fire pit are also available for guests within the grounds.

    It is available from March to November. Reservations may be made up to five years in advance. For more information and to make a reservation, please call the park office.
