Our Story

A place built for rest, community, and the kind of quiet that heals.

Island Grove Campmeeting sits on 164 acres along Doe Run in southern Pennsylvania—a setting chosen deliberately for its remoteness and beauty. For generations, families and groups have come here to unplug, gather, and remember what matters.

We are not a resort. We are a campmeeting ground: a living, breathing community that opens its doors to anyone seeking a slower pace, meaningful fellowship, and the simple dignity of sleeping under a canopy of trees.

The Grounds

Every path here leads somewhere quieter.

The property wraps around a stretch of Doe Run, and the woods here have been undisturbed for well over a century. That means old trees, clean air, and a silence so complete you'll forget what noise sounds like.

Doe Run

A slow-moving creek borders the property—perfect for wading, reflection, or simply listening to water over stone.

Assembly Grounds

An open-air meeting area where the campmeeting tradition comes alive—singing, preaching, and fellowship under the sky.

Wooded Trails

Miles of unpaved trails wind through hardwood forest—ideal for morning walks, trail running, or getting gloriously lost.
