Camp Dawson Event Center

Camp Dawson Event Center combines conference facilities, group accommodation and on-site services at the West Virginia National Guard Training Center in Kingwood. Its spaces are available for official conferences and events organised by government entities and approved non-profit organisations, subject to the centre's access and eligibility requirements. It is not an unrestricted venue for general public or private bookings, so organisers should check eligibility before planning an event.

The venue offers a large multi-purpose building, an auditorium, classrooms and outdoor locations. This range can suit conferences, training sessions, meetings, retreats and other official gatherings, from smaller groups to larger programmes. The team provides event assistance, including help with room layouts and seating, audio-visual equipment, cost estimates and an on-site conference liaison. Organisers can discuss the requirements and arrangements with the event planning team.

Accommodation is available in a range of options, including individual rooms, suites, chalets and houses. With more than 500 rooms across the centre, group stays can be arranged alongside conference activity, subject to eligibility and availability. Catering is also offered for events, with options ranging from refreshment breaks to banquets. Organisers can select from existing menus or discuss a tailored menu and budget with the catering team.

The site also has a restaurant and lounge, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a lake and a pavilion. These facilities give eligible groups additional options during a stay or programme. Camp Dawson is best suited to organisers looking for a secure, self-contained setting where meeting space, lodging and event services are available together.
