★★★★★Jennifer WarfCamp Logan was started in 1928 as a Girl Scout entity. I attended Camp as a camper when I was younger, and I was a counselor when I was a young adult, and now I am involved in the alumni group. I happen to know for a fact that this is the best camp in the world! The property sits on a corner of a 550 acre lake. The property also has wonderful swampland to explore, pine tree forests, excellent unit locations with platform tents, a beautiful new troop house so that girls can camp any time of year. The camp also has a beautiful lodge with a giant deck overlooking the lake from atop the hill. ❤️🐌🐢❤️🐌🐢 Update 2025: my daughter has been a counselor at this camp for two summers now. She also agrees that this is the most amazing camp on the planet.
★★★★★Reagan NicholsMy church booked a site for a congregation camp out and was so much fun! It's far enough away from town but close enough in case you forget something and need to run to the store. The owners are super friendly and the camp is very well taken care of. We'll be back again!
★★★★★Julio ReyesThis place is so well kept and beautiful. The facilities are well maintained and the grounds are neat.
★★★★★Angie WheelerI have nothing but good memories of this camp when I was a teenager. I'm not sure of the year, but would have been 1980ish. I went two years and loved every minute. We stayed a week and it must have been kinda expensive because I only got to go when my troop paid part of the fee for being a top seller of cookies. Made new friends and had some good times. The counselors were great too. The only bad memory was fighting the mosquitoes at night trying to sleep in the tents. I decided to see if I could find my old camp by Googling after watching KEEPER OF THE ASHES. I was curious if it was still in operation. Do they still have a summer camp for a big bunch of scouts from all over? Do they still do that?
★★★★★Brandi CzajkowskiMy daughter went to the Choose Your Own Adventure camp this summer. She had so much fun!! The staff were incredible! She did tie-dye, painting, archery, horseback riding and kayaking all in one weekend! This was her 3rd time at Camp Logan and it didn't disappoint!! We will be back!
