Camp Allen
Room to breathe among the trees
Forest trails, two lakes and the scale of 1,100 wooded acres shape the experience at Camp Allen, an Episcopal retreat property in Navasota. It hosts outside groups, so the feel of a visit depends on the gathering: a yoga retreat, a contemplative break or time set aside for personal reflection can each make use of the grounds. Miles of trails invite unhurried walks between sessions, while the lakes add a quiet focal point to the landscape and can be explored by canoe. Shared facilities mean this is a working group retreat destination rather than a secluded, single-practice sanctuary. Come for the space to step outdoors and make room for a slower pace, and check with the organizers about the details of the retreat you have in mind.
