★★★★★Matt ClecknerI recently just stayed there for a joint project helping the camp with their tree management, and I was really impressed with everything there. The staff, including Erica (sp?) were very nice, and they were always helpful with whatever we needed. The cabin I stayed in overnight was also one of the nicest I've stayed in compared to a lot of the camps I do this type of work at. Really looking forward to doing work here again in the future.
★★★★★Joshua JonesI spent a month at the Gatehouse while in town for training. Unbeatable rate compared to local hotels & short term rentals. Grounds were secluded and quiet, perfect for walks in the evening.
★★★★★LindseyOur youth group spent two weeks here and it was wonderful! The grounds are gorgeous, especially the outdoor chapel area! Erica is amazing to work with and we appreciated her attentive attention the two weeks we were there!
★★★★★Nikki HampeThis camp is GORGEOUS! We took our youth here for a retreat and it was a great experience. Erica was incredibly helpful & accommodating during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed for the whole weekend. I would highly recommend this camp!
★★★★★Bennett BrilesGorgeous campground. My pictures don't do it justice. Our church youth group enjoyed a two night stay at Camp Agapé and we were so happy with our experience. The staff were friendly, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent time. They really made it easy for us!
