FDR Small Group Camp

This was perfect for our camporee. Cabins, bathrooms, cabin classroom, first aid cabin, kitchen and dinning hall were all clean and great useful spaces. Covered pavilion was a great space for teaching and overflow eating. Gathering at the flag pole was a great way to start and end our day. Camp fire space we nice and open with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and would love to have had time to canoe. Ranger Danielle is amazing and helped with outdoor and compass skills as well as archery.

I have had the great fortune of going to the FDR small group camp multiple times over the last decade. It is a fantastic area equipped with kitchen dining room, Gazebo, infirmary, 6 cabins, and designated fire area with amphitheater seating. It also has a dock with designated swimming area that is great fun in the summer months. It gets a little cold in the fall and winter due to high elevation and winds. I highly recommend this sight for any group outing up to approximately 70 people with room for more if using tents, hammocks, or campers.

Great location if you know what you are in for. Below are factors we encountered during a winter stay for 3 nights where temps ranged from 56°-30° Negative Factors: 1. No heat or air in cabins. 2. Bunks are super loud wire spring mesh with plastic camp pad as mattress. 3. No water/plumbing in cabins 4. Cabins walls have little to no insulation if you bring heaters in winter. Come prepare for cold sleeping in winter. Do not only rely on portable heaters. 5. Only 1 bar of cell data at times 6. No real comfortable areas to hangout. Only seats on property are wood benches. Suggest bring camp chairs Positive Factors: 1. Only 1 bar of cell data helps everyone unplug from technology and. 2. Although beds are old/loud, they are surprisingly comfortable(ish) 3. Bath house seems to have unlimite

This. Place. Is. Awesome. We took our Cub Scout pack here for the weekend and it was such a great trip! The park rangers who checked us in and out were great. The camp kitchen is HUGE and the dining hall is awesome. We loved this place and will definitely be back again.

So I was recently in an accident and find myself in a wheelchair. We were part of a group that frequents the camp. On Friday the Rangers came out and completely replaced the ramp for wheelchair accessibility. That's just astounding to me. Please, frequent the park and say thank you to the people working there.
