YMCA Camp Coffman

My partner's cousin rented out the campground for the weekend of their wedding. What a fabulous idea! We were all able to stay and be near one another before and after the ceremony, while going at our own pace. The accommodations were decent (for what they are, you know, only one cabin has running water, so just be ready to tough it a bit) and the grounds are gorgeous. Hiking, fishing, paddle boating, zip lining - try it all while you're there!

Very nice place for a wedding. We were guests at a family wedding and loved the area. Very clean buildings and facilities. Easy to walk around. Log cabin type reception/dining area. Pavillion was a beautiful place for the wedding.

Went to a wedding today at Camp Coffman. What a beautiful barn style pavilion for the wedding part. It's right beside a nice stream and made for a beautiful venue.

I just encountered 2 of the rudest, nastiest people I’ve ever met. They reside in the caretaker’s house near the entrance of camp Coffman. I arrived at the gate around 5:45pm with my wife, daughter and her boyfriend who just flew in from Fl. My daughter wanted to show her boyfriend the swinging bridge she used to enjoy as a child with her Grandmother, who by the way, gifted that bridge to the park many years ago. She was the former Mayor of Knox and philanthropic to a fault. The sign at the gate says members only. I am a YMCA member. No one was around, so we drove to the back where the bridge was located. I feared the front gate may close at 6:00, so we only stayed 10 minutes, but what a great memory…until we attempted to leave. The gate had closed, but now there was a car at the caretaker’s house and the lights were on, so I knocked on the door and asked if they would let us out. These two angry caretakers proceeded to berate me for trespassing and weren’t the least bit interested in why we were there. They said they were sick of unauthorized persons entering the park. I’m a 70 year old man and have never been spoken to like that in my life. What a shame to have that kind of energy at such a beautiful park and what poor representation for the YMCA. I guess help is hard to find.

This was a nice place for our daughter's wedding. Lovely scenery in the fall for pictures and such. Nice cabins for guest to stay in, But a few of them didn't have running water even to make coffee or to wash their hands. Downside is you have to set up all the tables and chairs and take them down and clean before you leave a lot of work... They want you to not use the restroom that is in the reception hall only for handicap people because there's only one, they require guests to walk across the The parking lot and use the bath house.
