I went to this camp 2 whole years ago as a scout. I could go on a long review, which i will, but if youre short on time, here it is: ever since, ive been trying to get back to a place just remotely like this.

Im a mountains kinda guy, and Boone is literally perfect. Each campsite has its own benefits and drawbacks. I know some were deeper into the camp and were closer to merit badges, but they had beautiful streams and forests around them that, in certain lights and without too many people, almost looked unreal, like some fantasy forest in Lord of the Rings or something. I was in a newer campsite, Arrowhead, and it was on the side of a steep hill, just under the reenactment place (which was awesome btw. Tell me if you can chug the root beer faster than 11 seconds and ill applaud you). Every morning id wake up, walk outside of the tiny 4 person cabin and sit on this stump that i carried back from the woods. The mountains had misty fog, with a beautiful view over the valley. The trails were so much fun and were a joy to walk. The lake was picturesque, and there were certain times of the day that you could sit next to the brook and be taken to paradise by the sound of the water and the birds.
Not only is it a paradise for mountain ecosystem lovers like myself, but its got a wonderful layout with beautiful cabin-styled architecture thatll make you feel like youre part of some guild... which in a way, you are if youre a scout.
And on top of it all, if you ever get a chance, explore a bit off the beaten path. Keep in mind erosion and safety of course, but have some fun. I hear there are really quiet places around the camp that are fantastical, with beautiful trees, bushes, and even a few brightly colored flowers.

So, do i recommend this place? Of course. Is it what you will make of it? For sure. Id give nearly anything to go back there and spend time with my scouting buddies, and i will forever look for a home that can make me feel the same way as Boone did.

20/10 would go again
