WHERE TO GO CAMPING

COLONIAL VIRGINIA COUNCIL

Newport News, Virginia 23606

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 addition to an alphabetical list of

camping locations, we have included a “Quick Check Guide” to compare camps and what

features that they offer. In the main list, you will find contact information as well the contact

information.

If your Troop or Crew has a place to camp that is not listed in the “Where to Go Camping

Guide,” please contact the Order of the Arrow Camping Promotion Chair. We will be sure to

update the list. Check back often to see what is new in Camping and outdoor activities!
