Welcome to the “Where to Go Camping Guide!” This guide will help Scouts and
Scoutmasters find camps in the area as well as let them know what each camping location
may offer. Many of these camps are well known, but there are others that are less popular.
All of them offer a variety of options for Scout Troops to keep the “OUTING” in Scouting!!
The “Where to Go Camping Guide” is very easy to use. In the main list, you will find the
address as well the contact information of all of the camps we have, in alphabetical order.
If your Troop or Crew has a place to camp that is not listed in the “Where to Go Camping
Guide,” please contact the Wahunsenakah Lodge Camping Promotions Chairman. We will
be sure to update the list. Check back often to see what is new in Camping and outdoor
activities!
So, without further ado, let’s get into it!
