GOD IS GOOD. The brothers who are helping there are of great blessing.
Quiet, Serene, beautiful, loooonnnngggg way out there. No cell reception.
This is a fun little getaway for a youth or adult retreat. The owners are super nice and work hard to maintain the facility. The facility offers: - A kitchen full of great cooks - A small pool with a diving board - A basketball court - A chapel (holds maybe 100+ people?) - Two buildings for equipped with 8-10 rooms and a shared bathroom and shower complex. Rooms are equipped with 4 bunk beds. Please note, the rooms don't have AC and can get quite warm. - There is a large cafeteria, and a room equipped for smaller presentations. - A large field, great for group games and activities. - Stone bleachers - A creek.. great for letting kids go exploring. - Lots of benches and areas to sit and relax - Several easy to intermediate hiking trails - A mid-sized parking area Cons: - Very poor/ no cell service - No AC in rooms - ALL water smells of sulfur - The pollen is pretty bad here. If you have allergies then come prepared. - The road to the camp is barley 2 way, is very windy, steep, and unpaved in some areas. Go slow, and drive a good car.
Sulfur water smells a little but it is still a great little getaway. Great family who works there and fun kids to play with there.
