About Robert Woodruff Scout Reservation
Campground in Georgia.
Nestled in the North Georgia mountains near Blairsville, Robert Woodruff Scout Reservation offers RV campers a peaceful escape into the heart of one of Georgia's most scenic regions. This public campground provides an excellent basecamp for exploring the natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities that make the Blue Ridge Mountain area so special.
The location puts you in close proximity to some of the Southeast's most stunning landscapes and attractions. Vogel State Park is nearby, featuring pristine lakes and hiking trails that range from easy nature walks to more challenging mountain routes. The area is famous for its waterfalls, and several beautiful cascades are within reasonable driving distance, making it perfect for day trips. Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the access to portions of the Appalachian Trail, which runs through this part of Georgia and offers everything from short scenic walks to multi-day backpacking adventures.
Blairsville itself is a charming mountain town with local shops, restaurants, and services that cater to visitors. The town provides convenient access to supplies and dining without feeling crowded or commercial. The surrounding area is known for its mountain culture, craft galleries, and seasonal events that showcase the region's heritage.
This campground appeals to families seeking a mountain retreat, outdoor enthusiasts interested in hiking and nature exploration, and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The peaceful mountain setting provides a restorative environment where you can truly disconnect and enjoy the natural world. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a longer stay, the location offers an ideal blend of accessibility and authentic mountain scenery.
The cooler mountain climate makes summer camping particularly enjoyable, and the dramatic fall foliage transforms the landscape into a spectacular display of colors. Spring brings wildflowers and rushing mountain streams, while even winter visitors find the landscape peaceful and beautiful. The elevation and mountain position create genuine four-season appeal for RV travelers.

I LOVED it, as my first summer camp it was a great, fun, nice, and friendly time. The staff was nice, I loved the archery staff, very friendly and was nice to make friends with *personal opinion*. The food was nice and the view the dining hall has was beautiful everyday. One thing! If you don't like walking up a hill, sorry, it has a tall hill to walk up. But moving on, I was happy with my time at... I LOVED it, as my first summer camp it was a great, fun, nice, and friendly time.

One thing! If you don't like walking up a hill, sorry, it has a tall hill to walk up. But moving on, I was happy with my time at the 25 summer camp and the opening and closing fire was amazing. I can't wait to staff for the 2026 summer camp year in woodruff!! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Great camp lots to do. But make sure you check out the waterfront activities. Sailing, kayaking, whitewater rafting merit badges.

Just an amazing Scout Camp and experience. Top notch facilities, fine instruction, great food and activities for all! The weather is a reprieve from the Deep South! Lows in the 50s, highs in the 80s, low humidity. A beautiful lake, real mountains and the trading post is as nice as any REI or outfitter. Cannot recommend a scout camp any higher. We’ve been to camps all over the southeast. This on... Just an amazing Scout Camp and experience. Top notch facilities, fine instruction, great food and activities for all!

This is an amazing place Woodruff Scout camp. It is hard to explain the grandeur of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the experience young people have in their week at camp. 1400 acres specifically designed to manage each scout’s journey during this time at camp.

Great Boy Scout Summer camp! My troop came here for the first time this year, and immediately decided we would continue in the next years. Good staff, great facilities, and an overall excellent experience.
