Off-season camping at Camp Rock Enon

All summer long, the sounds of Scouts can be heard everywhere at Camp Rock Enon.

But after camp ends, what about other camping opportunities?

Did you know you can rent a campsite for $10 per unit?

Or a cabin for $20 for the whole weekend?

Yep, all you have to do is print out this document, fill in the form (page 4) and mail in a check for the right amount to reserve your spot.

The council likes to get the requests 2 weeks in advance.

And don't forget your tour permit.
