Camp Gilead is conveniently located in the scenic Polk City, FL, which lies centrally between the bustling cities of Tampa and Orlando, just off Interstate 4 at exit 44. Remarkably, we are just a short 1.5 miles off the interstate, yet once you enter our grounds, it truly feels as though you’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! This is an excellent time to allow us the opportunity to assist you in planning your Church, Youth Group, or any other group retreat. We invite you to schedule a visit to come and tour Camp Gilead for yourself! Please take a moment to fill out the form located at the bottom of this page, and our dedicated Guest Ministries Team will reach out to you to confirm any available dates.

This lakefront motel-style facility features ten rooms that sleep 2 to 3 guests. Each has a private bathroom with shower/tub combo, air-conditioning, and a gorgeous view of our Lake Helene. Some rooms are adjoining which can be locked or unlocked as needed. Each room has access to the large, furnished deck that overlooks the lake. Linens are provided.
