Great place for kids they have a great summer program. They also rent the camp for weddings and anything else you want to do. They have cabins, bathrooms, a lodge with full kitchen and a pool. Then in the winter they have a heated lodge with a kitchen for anything you'd want to do in the winter.
Fantastic camping location. Large cabins (with electric) plus ample tent camping space. Toilets, sinks and showers (with hot water). All near water (stream, no bugs), under a canopy of trees, down and away from traffic.
I went as a girl scout in 1994. I just found a journal entry where I named the camp. This place was magical as a kid. The cabins were fantastic to explore and the pulley system windows were a laugh. The waterway that runs through it was chock full of crawfish and ice cold on a summer's day. Hope it hasnt changed! I think of this place often.
I love camp I’ve been here for so many years and I look forward to come back for many years to come!
