Great Christian camp for kids, great location, beautiful setting. Close to town. Amazing people who care for the camp, and who care for our children.
We had a family reunion here, if you’re wanting camping without actually camping, this is perfect. The pool was fantastic, it has a 9 foot end that was a blast to dive into. The biggest downside was that the fishing was not good, at least not for what we were trying. The river behind the buildings is beautiful and very peaceful to sit beside. The cabins were nice, and the shower houses were very spacious.
Could be a awesome spot!!!! Not very clean! Nice folks tho!
Our family really loves going here with our church for family camp. They have so many ammenities making cooking and clean up for big groups very easy. Beautiful location. Fun pool. Cabins have outlets for charging phones and plugging in fans during summer when its hot. Screen doors so you can keep the room cool in the evening without bugs coming in. Garbage cans by the doors for easy cleanup of trash in your cabin. Restrooms in 2 different locations for those who are at different areas in camp. That I saw anyway. I've been on the same side both years. A game room area with ping pong, air hockey, and more. Lots of room for young ones to run around. All kinds of fun things. We have really enjoyed coming the last two summers with our church group. Its been a pleasure staying here.
