We had a fantastic time with a crew of Boy Scouts on their high adventure. We used it as our home base, and went sailboating every morning and kayaking every afternoon. It is considered a “primitive” camp site, but has a well water pump and modern outhouses (cement base, etc). The dining area already had a shelter set up over the picnic tables and the cooking area was already set up as well. O... We had a fantastic time with a crew of Boy Scouts on their high adventure.

The dining area already had a shelter set up over the picnic tables and the cooking area was already set up as well. Our scouts (and adults) had a great time, and our 2 scouting guides worked great with the younger scouts.

JAX camp is a Scouts BSA tent camping facility. I am a 37 year member of the organization and have directed several camp-o-rees and unit outings at this camp ground. Its central Door County location makes it ideal for Troop outings to Door County and all it has to offer.The facility offers a well and latrine for both male and female use. It also offers a large open area for out door activities. I... JAX camp is a Scouts BSA tent camping facility.

I really don't know anything about this place, except that the road that goes past it is a very Steep Hill. Maybe the steepest around Sturgeon Bay. So I guess I slowed down going past it.
