Troops may choose to book in our Scout Camp, which is a large, forested area located at the end of the campground. Alternatively, troops may choose to book sites in the campground either through our online booking system, accessed through the Book Camping Page, or by using the advanced booking service to book more than three months in advance.
Due to limited availability and short staffing, we are no longer accepting requests for 2023. We will start accepting requests for 2024 on October 1st, 2023!

The Scout Camp consists of three camping areas each with their own sign, picnic tables, fire pit, tenting area, and parking. Up to three troops/packs may be booked on the same weekend, however scout groups will only share the Scout Camp with other scout groups. There is space for trailers and RVs in the Scout Camp; if you plan to bring a large camper, please call to confirm that we can meet your space requirements.
