LovetoCamp Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 How far is the York-Adams Council camp away? Could we camp there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyD Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I believe the camp is near/close to harrisburg PA. THe Camp is called Camp Tuckahoe. I found the home page of the camp and i'll post what they say about Gettysburg. "The camp's four older cabins have been completely remodeled to create comfortable accommodations for groups looking for a warm place to stay during the cold weather months or for units visiting the Gettysburg area (about 35 minutes to the south of Tuckahoe)" http://www.yaac-bsa.org/tuckahoe/index.htm As you can see it is a far distance away. I know when we went down with the cub scouts in 01 we stayed at a girl scout camp that was as far away. It was inconvient for us. Camp i suggested is right outsaide of Gettysburg, 5 bucks a person per night /w showers, 5 minture drive and you just park in the visitors parking lot when you do the hikes.

LovetoCamp Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Yes you did. Thank you again. $5 a head for our small band of Sea Scouts won't break us, especially after what the Peoples Republic of Wisconsin charges per night for each vehicle to camp at their state parks. Whheeeeeeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyD Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 What do they charge i'm just curious. When we go to Lcause lake state park we just pay for the campsites they don't charge us for extra vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nldscout Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 We went to Gettysburg this past April and stayed at Camp Tuckahoe. Fantastic Camp, great buildings. Only 30-40 min drive from Battlefield. We choose buildings over campground for 2 reasons. Comfort was big issue, if you follow the program its a long 2 days to finish it. The buildings made it nice becuse in spring weather can be rainy and cold. This was not designed as a camping trip, but as an educational outing with scouts and leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could anyone tell me what is the nearest scout camp? We may stay two days there and then move to McMillan Woods on April 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 The one we use is Camp Hidden Valley, Keystone Area Council. If you want to do a Mapquest, the camp is physically located in Loysville, PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
