The facilities are in much better condition compared to my visit in June. A significant improvement in the correct direction but more to do.

This is a great BSA camp. It's located in the city, but is positioned against the largest municipal park in the world. It has a lot of great camp amenities while being close to most of the scout troops in Arizona.

Very nice campground. Kind of noisy being so close to the road and neighborhood.The Cub Scouts enjoyed shooting BB guns and playing all around the camp site.

While it is a great spot for a Scout event it also happens to be a bit of an oasis in the city where you can enjoy a nice hike up into the mountain. Really a super spot for outdoor events and one of my favorite places to feel like I am not in town despite practically being in the middle of it.

My daughter was attending a summer camp here until I saw the condition of the pool that they had kids between the ages of 5 and 10 swimming in every day. I immediately puller her out and called the health department. The health department instructed them that no one can be in the pool unless they can see the drain. Aside from that, there was ZERO security at pickup time. The kids are turned loose to anyone that shows up to take them.

Fun space for Scouts. We visited as part of the Centennial Celebration Cub Scout Pow Wow. There was enough room for everybody to enjoy the booths/activities without being ontop of eachother. My Cub Scout had a amazing time. He was so excited to shoot arrows, with my help, for the first time. There is also a shooting range. On site is also a small souvenir shop that is open for special events. There are trails to hike. My son had a great time at the event. Adult bathrooms are air conditioned. Or at least the restroom I used. In the summer, this is a huge deal. It is a much appreciated detail. Order of the Arrow has their own meeting area. Some really cool pieces of local OA history adorn the walls. Campsites are also available. Check with be Grand Canyon Council Scout Achievement Center for more information about reserving campsites and pricing.Parking is at a premium for larger events. If you are going to an event, I would suggest trying to carpool if possible.

Camped here during January for two nights, amazing experience. First off, it's different because there aren't too many bugs. Other than a couple of house flies and some ant hills, the campsite was really nice regarding bugs. Next, the views were breath-taking, especially the Phoenix lights at night. Lastly, the rifle shooting is loads of fun, especially the feel of competing with the rest of my troop. The rifle shooting even has an open shoot every month where scouts can get the rifle shooting MB/NRA qualifications.
