Welcome!!!! You are invited to the 79th Annual CAMP WILSON BBQ!!!!!
The 79th Annual Camp Wilson Barbecue will be taking place Sunday, May 3rd, 2026 from 1 to 3 pm or until food runs out. This is an open pit barbecue roasting about 900lbs of beef top round roast, potatoes, onions, and baked beans overnight.
The Camp Wilson Barbecue has proudly operated for over 78 years on land donated for use by the Lucille Wilson Family.
Camp Wilson sits on the back side of the Old Casey Ranch, which was owned by Lucile Wilson and her daughter Ann Wilson Neighbor. In the earlier years of Camp Wilson, wanting to reward the Scouts for their hard work and dedication, the families began to change the meal to a pot luck event. Each family contributed part of the meal. This led to the idea of a barbecue in the Scout's honor.
On May 2, in 1997, the 50th anniversary, also known as the Golden Anniversary of Camp Wilson, was celebrated. Boy Scouts, new and previous got together to show the skills they had learned on their journeys. The celebration started on a Friday in the early week of May and would continue until Sunday, finishing with a fantastic large barbecue which has always been open to the public.
The meal is now prepared and served on site in 2 large under ground open pits by long time Family and local volunteers of The Camp Wilson committee based out of Mtn Home...
Meeting start in January every year to prepare the property, get donations, and make sure the event goes smooth!!!
