What an awesome place with tons of history! We used a generator and turned on the lights in the cabin for the first time and that was so nice! Call and book a weekend for your troop, you won't regret it!

Camping here is always one of the highlights of the year for our Cub Scouts. The facilities are top-notch and we appreciate all the effort by volunteers to cut wood and maintain this very special place.

Camp Burton is a amazing place! No electricity or potable water. Very nice cabins and trails aplenty. It's quiet and off the beaten path. Our scouts always enjoy outings to camp Burton.
