★★★★★patrick gravesGreat get away location with so many nice to have amenities for a large group camp. Good beds, great restrooms WITH SHOWERS and electricity each bunk house. Very nice lodge, a nice smaller Lake with fishing, kayaking and canoeing and 2 very well designed fire pits for bonfires for both very large (50+) group and a separate smaller group (20 or less) fire pit area. Meeting rooms and chairs, FULL kitchen facilities and ample dining make Panhandle Lake a GREAT location for your group!
★★★★★Bob BalcomI went there for 4-H camp when I was 12. Now 63, I would love to revisit this place. It's one of the biggest memories I had as a kid. Every kid should get to go to summer camp there at least once.
★★★★★Kevin ForbesVolunteered at the Kids Fishing derby. This Camp is a really cool spot. Tucked away in a very serene environment. The staff is very accommodating. The fire pit area is tucked on the edge of the woods. It has bench seating with backrest all the way around. There are two docks and a swim platform. The H dock has a shallow gravel beach. Plenty of life jackets for all sizes. There are canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats. Definitely check this place out.
