Reformation Hall is the newest addition to the historic Christian resort at Old Camp Joy. The mini ballroom seats 80 guests for dining or 96 guests for festival / theater seating. The 1700 SQ ft hall is completely wheelchair accessible. Adjoining are three lakefront luxury cottages (one is also wheelchair accessible) for overnight accommodations. The entire resort is nestled within 12 acres of park like grounds on a beautiful cove at Lake O The Pines. The unique architecture employs historic details such as turrets, a vaulted barrel ceiling in the main ballroom and a beautiful domed ceiling with large chandelier in the entrance hall. An abundance of glass facing East as well as an outdoor furnished deck allows gatherings to enjoy the lake and incredible views. Fine furnishings combined with the old-world style architecture and an oversized fireplace, virtually eliminates the need to decorate unless of course a particular theme is desired. Tables, chairs, tablecloths, and some embellishments are available as is stage lighting. The large bright commercial Kitchen accommodates family style cooking as well as off-site catering.

Beautiful and Relaxing
We love it here at “Old Camp Joy”. The Knox cottage is so nice and very clean. The bed so so comfortable and rested well! The scenery is so calming and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunrise. The fishing was fun. It was nice to have a marina nearby down the road for bait and a dollar general not to far. We can’t forget to mention the amazing Lemon Pie made by “Mary’s Cakes and flowers, from Mary herself. So good. We love it here! Great friendly hospitality!

Lake Side Retreat
The cottages were cozy retreats even in the rain. The cottage reminds me of an old family cottage. So much fun to stay here. The hosts were generous and attentive. It is a place to return to over and over.

Perfect, Relaxing, Beautiful View
We had a great time here at the KNOX cottage. The view was just so amazing and beautiful all around us. We loved our cottage and the decor applied with the special touches made. Amazingly very clean and comfortable. Tom was very kind and made us feel very welcomed to be there. We ordered the cinnamon rolls upon another reviews suggestion and menu. Mary’s cinnamon rolls were very delicious and very filling. We loved our stay here at this place, and is definitely at the top of our list to come and stay again when that time permits. I regret we didn’t come upon Old Camp Joy with all the beautiful scenery sooner.
