Tent Camping
Year-round tent camping is available for Scouts and non-Scouts alike. Pine Ridge features several quaint campsites, each with its own pavilion. Most camping areas are equipped with water spigots and outdoor pit toilet facilities. Please contact our Camping Department if you have questions about water and bathroom availability for your camping area.
Cabin Camping
Bailey Lodge
Come enjoy this dining hall available for meetings and Courts of Honor. The hall is heated by a furnace, but units can also take advantage of the beautiful fireplace. Water, flush bathrooms and a full kitchen are available. A large attached pavilion allows units to extend their activities outside. It is not available for overnight stays.
Akela's Pavilion
Akela's pavilion is a large open-air pavilion available to all units and makes a great meeting site. A restroom with running water is located near the pavilion.
Amphitheater
Pine Ridge features a large outdoor amphitheater situated against Little Grassy Lake. This beautiful area is great for outdoor presentations, ceremonies, and putting on a campfire program!
