The Campsite:

  • We will be sharing with another group so lets shine with our following of the Scout Laws.
  • The parking is tight there which means we may have to park in an overflow area or at the Boat Ramp across the street.
  • The site is tree covered and in some cases very little air movement under the tree canopy.
  • No electricity at the site.
  • Bathrooms with flush toilets onsite.
  • Outdoor cold water showers are there.
  • Canoes will be there, you have a kayak and can transport it, you may bring it.
  • When in the canoes there is no shade, make sure you have sun-screen, hats, sunglasses. And MOST OF ALL WATER. You will probably be taking ziplock bags with your lunch with you in the canoes.
  • You should have water shoes for in the water activities. Lots of shell bed/sand so walking barefoot is guaranteed to cause cuts on your feet.
  • If we have scouts who bring fishing gear, the troop will buy bait for them to use.
  • There is a Civil War fort on the island which is through the park entrance, each car load is $5. Our camping location is outside the park entrance.
