Powered by GoogleVery organized outdoor spaces that still remain natural and you feel secluded. Beautiful lake and lots of walking trails for scouters
Great summer camp! There are many trails, campsites, a lake, a pool, and much more! Also, a very cold summer camp 🥶. I was freezing!
Excellent campgrounds and fantastic location to host the NYLT. Clean well kept and easy to get to from Atlanta. 5 stars and two thumbs up!
For my first ever camping experience, it was great! The tents were sturdy & on an elevated platform with an electrical outlet, the picnic areas between the tent had spacious seating with lights on a timer, the staff were phenomenal, and there were tons of activities for our scouts to enjoy. The restrooms/shower rooms--which were in a building a short distance away from our tents--were pretty clean (considering it's outdoors). They were supplied with toilet tissue, paper towels, and hand soap. They also had showers within them. The Trading Post (aka Gift Shop) had some helpful camping items for sale, along with slushies and ice cream dots, but I am unable to review the Dinimg hall because we did not est there. As an aside: there were also camp grounds where you can pitch your own tent, but we didn't utilize that area of the grounds. Oh, and there's parking available near the tents. Overall, I'd give Bert Adams Scout Camp a 10 out of 10.
Bert Adams has received some welcome upgrades in the last few years that make it much more modern and accommodating. Much of the camp is largely undeveloped and open. We have been here multiple times for Order of the Arrow ordeals and other council functions.
