The 677-acre camp is known for pristine wilderness and three clear spring-fed, natural lakes. It has hosted troops from Columbia, South America, Scotland, Norway, and others from across the country. It is the home to year-round programs available to Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers, Sea Scouts, Girl Scouts, JROTC cadets, religious groups, police search and rescue dive teams, sheriff rifle teams, and other groups that look to enjoy the facilities at the camp.
