Bunkhouse Lodging at Gilboa Quarry

The bunkhouse features 13 twin beds in one shared co-ed dormitory-style room with climate control (heat and AC). It operates like a hostel with communal sleeping arrangements. Solo travelers book individual beds through Campspot. Groups wanting privacy can contact our office to reserve the entire 13-bed bunkhouse. You’ll share the space with other travelers, making it ideal for budget-conscious adventurers, solo divers, and groups seeking affordable accommodations.

Yes. You must bring your own sheets, pillow, blankets, and/or sleeping bag for your twin bed. The bunkhouse provides the bed frame and mattress only—no bedding, linens, or pillows are provided. Think of it like hostel-style accommodations where you bring your sleeping materials. This keeps costs low and maintains our affordable $25 per bed rate.

Yes! Groups can book all 13 beds to have the bunkhouse to themselves. Contact our office directly via phone or email to arrange full bunkhouse reservations. This works great for dive clubs, youth groups, family reunions, or friend groups wanting private shared accommodations at an affordable group rate. Individual bed bookings are available through Campspot.

Yes. Families can book multiple beds in the shared dormitory. The bunkhouse includes a beach swim band per each bed booked, giving families affordable access to swimming, paddling, and quarry activities.

Families wanting more privacy may prefer our tent or RV camping options.

Your $25 per night rate includes: one twin bed in the climate-controlled shared dormitory, personal locker for secure storage, a beach swim band per night booked, 24/7 bathhouse access directly below the bunkhouse, shared refrigerator and microwave access, and elevated deck access.

While the shared refrigerator and microwave operate on a first-come, first-served basis, we ask all guests to be courteous to other bunkhouse guests.
