Camp Butterworth is a Girl Scouts of Western Ohio day camp on a 152-acre property near Maineville, where campers spend a themed week on outdoor exploration, art, cooking, hiking, archery, slingshots, gaga ball, an indoor climbing wall and swimming in a pool with water features and a slide. Weeks run Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. - three days over the July 4 week - with morning drop-off from 8:30 and pick-up until 5, an optional Thursday-night overnight add-on at $60, and one-week-at-a-time registration through the myGS platform. Sessions are grouped by grade for girls currently in grades K-11, with Program Assistant and Counsellor-in-Training tracks for older girls; a current Girl Scout membership is required. Camperships are available once a $75 deposit is paid, and the property is accredited by the American Camp Association.

★★★★★Amanda AubreyCamp Butterworth is a favorite of ours our of the Girl Scouts camps around us. The outdoor features are wonderful. Lots of sleeping options. When our group did use the dining hall, last we found it to be very dirty and it did not have the things we needed to cook. Hopefully GSWO has updated that since then.
★★★★★Suzy York SparlinWeekend here with Girl Scouts. The girls had a great time. Wouldn't recommend the river hike (tore my meniscus going down a steep hill the day after a heavy rain) one and done for me. Which has nothing to do with the grounds itself. Just dont go off the trail. All the lodges in the main area were clean. Our lodge was kind of clean. We had mice, though, so the little mice pellets and urine were all over. Mouse traps were placed here and there. Just make sure to wash anything you use before you use it. You're in the woods, so it happens. We were at Freedom Lodge. Overall, it was a good experience.
★★★Taylor StanfordGroesbeck Cabin: Full day Saturday, overnight into Sunday Morning. Window AC unit & microwave have 3-prong plugs and the cabin only had 2-prong outlets. Outlets need to be updated or extension plugs need to be provided. Cabin is right to parking lot, that was nice for loading/unloading. Plumbing issues throughout camp, smelled like sewage, this isn't likely an all the time issue. Our toilets clogged a few times. Ranger informed. Rotor router had to come out. A bit disappointed in sling shot range. Could use updates. Would love to see funds go to updating sling shot & archery range, picnic tables & benches, and toilets/showers. Would love to see funds improve the dining hall and get this place back to the glory days of girl scout camp. Bring kids that really like nature and want to hike.
★★★★★BreannaGreat Girl Scout camp. Outdoor natural playground, restrooms and water fountains available at the program shelter, all lodges and tent areas have restrooms. Be sure to read your reservation info for what to bring and where to go. And don’t forget to back in when you park!
★★★★★Jessica GreeneA beautiful Girl Scout camp. We stayed in Turtle Ridge. These are little camping shelters with bunks and there is a shelter with a refrigerator and picnic tables. A short walk away is a flush restroom. As my girls say: this is luxury camping! Nearby Loveland offers great biking trails and kayaking opportunities.
