Large church campground for youth, families and other retreats. Plenty of wooded area for seeing God's work, along with a suspended foot bridge above a ravine that leads to some of the smaller cabins. Good size swimming pool, not deep enough for a diving board, however there's plenty of room for fun!

A wonderful slice of heaven! A peaceful oasis of mother nature. The rustic retreat cabin is perfect for gathering among friends. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a functional indoor camping with the simple and rustic feel of an outdoor experience .

My home away from home - been going here ever since I was a baby. Walking the trails or sitting by the lake is so peaceful and serene. Great birding habitat too!

It is a awesome place. The people are all so nice and inviting. I'll tell ya it was a privilege just to be there. The kids had a blast and the pond fishing was unbelievable. Large mouth bass were plentyful and much bigger then I would of expected. The place is neat and clean and once there u just get this funny little tingle that reminds you of your childhood. So thank you to everyone at Camp Emmaus for allowing my family and I to just come spend the day and fish, free of charge, although knowing what i know now....I would of paid for admission. Just a beautiful and sort of majestic place.
