Powered by GoogleBy far the best camping experience of my young life. I have told the scout leaders every year for the past 20 years that this is where they need to take the boys. Yet every year they take them to the craptastic bear lake aquatics camp. If you like camping in a cow pasture next to a freezing lake, go for it. If you like camping in the woods with absolutely beautiful scenery and you want to have the most authentic camping experience, then you go to Little Limhi. My only regret is that my boys are too old to camp there now, but man I sure wish they had the chance. Best. Scout. Camp. Anywhere.
Super fun for the boys, swimming, hiking, archery, first aid, wood working, trading post with snacks, knifes, hats, crafts, etc. Friendly helpful people running it. Go if you ever fet a chance, wear tons of bug spray.
Too much of a merit badge factory for my tastes. Go to Camp Loll instead. Scenery is WAY more breath-taking there and you have to work for the merit badges instead of simply showing up at the classes to get the merit badges. And one more kicker with Camp Loll, you're in the NATIONAL PARKS! It can't get better than that.
Great place to camp. I just got back today. The staff was trained really well. I would recomend it to anyone and watch out for snakes.
Fun place for scouts. Well cared for. Parking is a little confusing though.
