Also known as “Pretty Place,” the Symmes Chapel is part of YMCA Camp Greenville, a branch of the YMCA of Greenville near Caesars Head State Park.

Fred Symmes gave the chapel to the YMCA so that its campers could enjoy its beautiful view all summer long. Camp Greenville spans 1,600 acres and serves as a summer camp, conference center, and environmental education facility. Symmes Chapel is a popular wedding venue and worship site, and visitors are welcome except when it is in use for events. It is strongly advised to call ahead and check the schedule before planning a visit! Visit the Pretty Place webpage to find news and events going on at the chapel.

Hi Brenda! Symmes Chapel is owned by Camp Greenville, and they request that visitors check with them first before visiting the chapel. Here is a link to their website: http://www.campgreenville.org/

Although I’ve never been to Symmes Chapel in person it reminds me of the Mountain of God. I hope that someday my wife Rhonda and I can see it in person.

I was so glad to see the beautiful pictures. This is a must see in South Carolina. When you walk through the doors of the Chapel, you will be in awe of the beauty. One of the Upstate’s most beautiful places.
