YMCA - Camp Erdman

2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (37)
"It was a cabin with one big bed on one side and 2 twin beds, plus one upper bunk. AC was great, but much cooler on one side than the other. No indoor table or chairs. The youth camps were going on at the same time so there was a lot of noise from the kids close by. The staff did a great job alerting us to the Tsunami threat and where we should go. Also let us know when it was safe to return."
