Bing Canyon Pioneer Camp
Private
Bing Canyon Pioneer Camp is a primitive, secluded trek site on Church-owned rangeland near Prosser, operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and open mid-June to August. It hosts handcart pioneer treks for LDS youth groups, with trails simulating segments of the historic Mormon pioneer trail. It is a group-use facility for organized church treks rather than an open-enrollment summer camp.

★★★★★Quinton ColeHad a great fathers and sons overnight here. It was very windy the previous day and worried the tents would blow away but the trees there actually made it very peaceful and calm. Grass under the tent was pretty level and not riddled with roots or rocks. Pretty empty of other campers this time. The fire pits were great, the wood provided burned a little quick but that's okay. The potable water was good and the outhouses were clean. Nice little place.
★★★★★Jeremy ChevalierThis camp is owned and maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (aka Mormons or LDS). This camp was the staging and end point for our Stake's 3-day pioneer trek. The area is a pleasant reprieve to the surrounding desert and farm land. It's grassy, shaded, and well maintained. There are permanent pit toilets that are keep very clean, and a good covered kitchen area with electricity, water, sinks, freezers and refrigerators. Plus lots of picnic tables to use as prep areas. It was a great location for preparing food for the youth activity.
★★★★★Valerie CharlesSuch a great experience giving youth a small taste of what pioneers might've experienced traveling across the Wyoming desert. I've heard it looks more like Wyoming than Wyoming does.
★★★★★Jonathon FrantzDoing the trek as a "Pa" was one of the neatest adventures I've ever done. The difficulty of the trek and the conditions weren't what make it tough... but the mental game of wondering why you're subjecting yourself to less than optimal circumstances is the real challenge. Moreover, the depth of the relationships forged between me and my trek family were nothing short of amazing! A phenomenal experience.
★★★★★Justyn SimonThis was one of my favorite places my boyscout troop went to while I was in scouts. Since then I have always enjoyed church activities that have taken place at bing canyon. The missionary staff people are kind and helpful. The camp grounds keep on getting better and better, as they have been adding more camp related stuff like new bathrooms, pavilions, campgrounds, fire pits, and recreational areas to the area. Along with a missionary village.
