★★★★★Kaelyn TenleyVery beautiful camp with very caring staff. Richard is a great man and I have loved going here for the church camp every summer. The camp includes a cafeteria building with all kitchen amenities, a lodge with bountiful amounts of bunk beds, a basketball court, a gym with a volleyball net, a hiking trail, a lake, a chapel building, and so much more.

★★★★★J GWe stay here every summer for our large family reunion. Have for at least 20 years. Rustic, private with plenty of space for everything and everyone. Things are well kept. Even with the price changes the family agrees, this is the place to be. Well worth it.
