★★★★★marnisha tharpeI recently attended a group event and had a wonderful experience. The kitchen staff were exceptionally hospitable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The quality of the food was also very good—everything was well-prepared and enjoyable. I was especially impressed by the overall quality and cleanliness of both the staff’s presentation and the facility itself. Everything was well-maintained and ran smoothly, which made the event even more enjoyable.
★★★★★Anna BellWent to Camp Bluebird which is for cancer survivors. The surroundings were beautiful, the facilities were first class, the staff and volunteers were wonderful, and the activities were excellent. We laughed, we cried, we comforted each other, we danced until we couldn't dance anymore, it was a wonderful experience. There were 65 campers in all.
★★★Pebbles KismetThe zip lining was really cool!! We never saw some of the attractions like the pony rides, so for $15, the small activities just didn't equal the price, especially when the candy was like swedish fish. The kids did enjoy the open atmosphere for a day time Halloween event.
★★★★★MichelleIt is a really beautiful cozy place and very tranquil. A nice firepit inside the building and brick walls throughout adds to the secluded beauty. Paths are lit from above outside but it was raining when I was there so I didn't make it far. Cons: Watch out for the speed bumps and be aware of parking limitations, however all of that is worth it once inside.
★★★★★Candace NewsonCamp Widjiwagan exceeded my expectations! I was not expecting the facility to be so nice. The cabins were so clean including the bathrooms. The staff was amazing (shout out to Paige). The food provided was also good. We had lasagna, salad, waffles and pancakes during our stay. I will definitely be back.
