★★★★★Shannon LindauGreat scout camp. Beautiful grounds on West Hill Lake. Prepare to hike to your campsite. It is uphill and rocky, but not too bad. Campsite toilets are latrines but there is running water. Bring your own soap. The dining hall does have flush toilets when it is open and the camp store has candy, slushies, soda, and some gear.
