About Camp de Benneville Pines
Homet (O’may) Lodge
Celebrating CdBP’s 65th Anniversary Year in 2026
Camp de Benneville Pines was founded in 1961 as a summer mountain retreat in the San Bernardino National Forest for the Unitarian Universalists of Southern California, southern Nevada, and Arizona.
Over 25 years ago, the camp became year around and other groups (e.g., scouts, theater groups, home schoolers, etc.) rent the facility. Art Camp is hosted by CdBP.
At nearly 7,000 feet the pines rule, but oak trees put in a good showing (especially in the fall). Camp is located on National Forest land in the San Bernardino Mountains north-east of Los Angeles.
There are hiking trails nearby with Jenks Lake within walking distance - about one “fairly-flat” paved mile.
Camp provides a crystal clear swimming. You can relax in the hot tub, take archery lessons, walk the meditation labyrinth, and lounge in the clean mountain air.
Well maintained trails connect the cabins, art venues, lodge, and amenities, such as the pool, hot tub, archery field, and labyrinth.
It does not get much better than swimming among the pines in our gorgeous pool!
