★★★★★William M Downey IIOur family held a memorial service for my grandmother at Lake Swan Camp, and we were so pleased with the service. The staff did a great job serving the food and were very friendly, and the food was good. Excellent hospitality all around.
★★★★★Martha MitchellI enjoyed my stay at Lake Swan. I went there for a Ladies' Retreat. There's a walking trail, fire pits, and a water slide that goes into the lake. You can also take a boat ride around the lake. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food service was awesome! It was a peaceful and fun adventure.
★★★★Ryan ScarboroughQuiet, private, and restful. A beautful property, and a fantastic retreat center with kind staff. A wonderful place for a church staff retreat, personal spiritual retreat, or a quiet but fun family get-together. The meals provided were phenomenal. Cabin amenities are a bit haggered and look like they could be updated and renovated from water damage and just general wear. The AC units work well but weather sealing is lacking so expect a few crawling friends in the night; and lower your expectations of the bathroom amenities. If you expect a hotel or home cleanliness you might be a bit disappointed. Make sure you bring a mattress topper too. Those notes aside, I came for a quiet spiritual retreat, and the property was wonderful for that. Lots of trees and trails, and plenty of beautiful spots to sit down and pray/meditate. Will return again.
★★★★★Tania GonzalezWhat a lovely Christian campsite! Came here for our youth group's Camp Retreat and it was such a blessing to say the least. We will definitely be coming back! God bless Lake Swan Camp! 🤍
★★★★★Susan GresesEverything about this place is beautiful. The lake is very clean and has crystal water. There are kayaks, a fun slide, water trampolines, soccer fields, volleyball courts, a game room, a basketball court, a small playground, and team building courses. The whole place is just beautiful and there is so much to do. This is the perfect place for retreats and a family getaway or reset. I would come back any time!
