Always a top quality program, facility, and staff. I attended and worked at the camp many years ago, and have had family attend and work there for the past 10 years. Now my child attends, and goes back as much as possible. All that to say, the camp makes itself better each year, and continues to impress. Highly recommended. And we just finished our week there for this summer, and all the precious comments still stand. Consistently fantastic program

Our Troop had a great time at Cherokee. As with most summer camps, there were a large number of badges to choose from. Welding, ATV Power sports, and others that I hadn't seen offered at a camp previous. The Lake is absolutely gorgeous. To make things even better for the scouts, there is a "Blob" there for them to get launched off (see pictures). If you are looking for a good camp to visit for you troop I would highly recommend this one. Our troop had so much fun, we went back again this year!

The Cherokee Scout Reservation was our first time experience with my son's troop 374 for Boy Scouts. He had a great time. I was impressed with their hospitality to our troop, to me-- with my disability needs, & their kindness was real, nice, & sweet! We loved their campgrounds, despite the rain & there was a lot for our kids to do. Thank you for hosting our troop & making sure everything went smoothly! We highly recommend your campground! Thank you for having us!
