Camp Hosts CheriRae and Jonathan were extremely welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. Our only issues were the relentless biting horseflies (just part of camping) and a generator that ran constantly during two days of our stay (an unfortunate disruption of the camping experience). Otherwise, this is a beautiful location with generous campsites, clean and well-maintained outhouses, and many trails to explore.

Site was to narrow for my little 26' camper. I had to park up against a retaining wall so my steps would clear the 6X6 retaining timber on the other side. Thank god I didn't have a slide. The roads into the campground are narrow and over grown with brush scrapping the side of the camper. Bathroom floor was dirty and needed swept. I was there tree nights and never saw a camp host.

Always love staying at Scout Mountain. It's a great escape from the heat in lower elevations with great facilities and an outstanding campground host. This campground is becoming an annual visit for me and my pup.

The group site had a great fire pit with plenty of seating. The shade was fantastic during the hot weather and would definitely stay here again!
