★★★★★Kris BrasherAlways a great time at Yocona! Helped mark trails and had our raingutter regatta today.
★★★★Matthew RobbinsHad an amazing time here. The accommodations were very nice. The only problems were the excessive amount of spiders in the restrooms and the mouse that we found in the kitchen. But those are just minor problems, I would definitely recommend.
★★★★★matthew maynardThis place shaped my life. I went three or four times before I got my eagle. I heard the scouts have air conditioning in cabins:(
★★★★John BowlingTucked in the rolling hills of NE Mississippi, just south of Pontotoc. This camp has all the basic needs for a fun camp out with your troop. Stellar staff is well-organized. Director make sure improvements are made year-to-year. SMs should definitely consider it for a change from your usual summer BSA camp.
★★★★★Charles SnowdenGreat place to bring the Troop for summer long term camp. Cabins are comfortable and clean. Dining hall has great food and plenty! Shooting Sports area is top notch and excellent opportunity to earn Rifle, Shotgun and Archery merit badges.
