As the site is a Scout camp, it has amenities usually associated with one. There is potable water on site, and the biffies are many and clean. During the heat of the day, the creek has settled into summertime lovely, cool pools in which to recline and paddle. Note that children ought to be supervised around open water. The woods are cool during the day, with opportunities to explore, and possibly seek out some thimbleberries to snack on. Use of the firepits will depend upon the fire hazard rating on the weekend.
Note: Being a Scout camp, no alcohol is permitted on-site. That is, this is a strictly dry site. No exceptions.
Animals permitted on leash, following the An Tir leash laws.
