The zip line was great. I love the food. But what I hated is being away from home for five days with no contact of my parents. Hi bye

My son had a great time....it was his first time away from us for two nights with no contact. Mainly Bec they want the kids to focus on time there and the learning of Jesus/recreational activities. Independence I took that rule. They post pics on online of each day which made me feel better I met each camp counselor and talked with pastor and secretary of the camp.

Love this Camp for our kids. They learn biblical truth and learn lessons for life that will last forever. They also make so many friends that they keep forever too.

It’s a nice walk. Don’t wear shorts, the plants are overgrown onto the pathway. Bug spray is recommended. The trail is nice, along the river. Up one side and down the other. There are a couple of places where the elevation change is drastic, a hundred feet of up-or-Down. A walking stick might be a good idea. You can park and walk at either end of the walkway, there are two camping parks. But... It’s a nice walk. Don’t wear shorts, the plants are overgrown onto the pathway. Bug spray is recommended.

But I would park at the north park to stay away from the campers at the South Park.

Very rustic walk in sites. Popular place for ATVs. Bit noisy at times because of ATVs. Nice place for hike and paddle on the pine.

Located down a long hill into low ground, so it’s very buggy most of the year. Camping sites are walk-in only. Pit toilets.

Great little stop, the bathrooms were not clean, though. The bridge was a close one for our sxs, but we made it.
