Be sure to bring your rod and reel because we have a 6 acre lake that is stocked with bass and catfish. You can take pictures of your catch but then you got to put them back in the lake. Also, we have a pool table, ping pong, jogging/walking trail, canoes, kayak, campfire pit and rocking chairs. We have adult life preservers, therefore if you have small children that want to canoe, please bring their life preservers.
THE FACILITIES:
The PWCC offers all you need for group getaways: comfortable living quarters,
excellent food service, and various types of meeting areas. The Center
is capable of accommodating 128 people with sleeping quarters arranged
in suites, two rooms sharing one bathroom. Two dining rooms are located
at the lodge area, one seats 150 people; the other seats 70. High quality
meals at affordable prices are prepared and served from a modern kitchen.
Our meals are rated excellent in quality and quantity by participants.
The cooks can design meal plans to meet your desires. Four meeting rooms
are available; two are centrally located within the dormitory buildings;
one is located between the two dormitories; and one adjacent to the lodge.
Our meeting rooms can accommodate up to 150 people and come equipped with
audio-visual equipment.
Dorm Rooms:
The dormitories are set up as suites, two bedrooms sharing one bathroom.
Therefore, you may be sharing a bathroom with other participants. Bathrooms
are equipped with two sinks and mirrors, a shower and a toilet.
A coke machine is located at the end of Dorm B. The ice machine is in the lodge kitchen. Outside of each dorm room and under the canopy there are many rocking chairs. If needed, you are welcome to use our washers and dryers located in each dorm.
Parking:
Most conservation centers will not allow vehicles in their dormitory areas.
Originally, the PWCC was designed for all vehicles to park in the main
parking lot at the highway and walk to your dorm room. Thankfully, we
have just completed a new parking lot at the Lodge. If you cannot locate
a parking spot, you will have to park in the main large parking lot located
at the highway entrance. However, you may drive to your room to unload
your luggage. We have a few Handicapped Parking spaces located in the
dormitory area and we ask that these be used exclusively for this purpose.
Telephone service:
Some cell phones and pagers will not get good reception at our location.
It is very rural and in a National Forest. Our Center’s telephone
number is (409) 584-2412. A telephone is located in the lobby of the main
lodge building for your use during your stay. You might want to bring
a long distance phone card with you.
Because of the popularity of the Piney Woods Conservation Center (PWCC) reservations must be made in advance. For more information call (409) 584-2412, visit or fill out our online reservation request form. A full packet of instructions will be forwarded to you. The instruction packet will contain a menu for the selection of meals of various price ranges. Exact cost figures will be quoted when reservations are made. (There is a minimum group size of 20 for meals.)
