Christian Community
At the heart and soul of a Sandy Cove camping experience is the deep connection guests make with one another.
It happens naturally.
Guests tell us:
• “I love how safe I feel at Sandy Cove.”
• “My kids start chanting Sandy Cove, Sandy Cove…all the way down from New Jersey.”
• “Camping at Sandy Cove is an amazing bargain! It’s clean, safe, full of fun activities and Christian fellowship.”
• “Our family spent last weekend in one of your log cabins and a rustic cabin. Thank you for making the weekend affordable for us. I so much appreciated that the grandchildren/children could play mini golf and ride paddleboats and kayaks, etc. without paying an additional fee. That made the weekend even more enjoyable. We enjoyed the lovely surroundings of the main camp and bay area.” ~ Elaine
Christian parents agree:
• “Sandy Cove…the ultimate vacation!”
• “Coming to Sandy Cove is a time to really focus on what matters most.”
• “The best thing about Sandy Cove is the kind of family time we get to have here.”
• “We are getting the time to bond as a family. I feel like Sandy Cove is the perfect vacation.”
