Ransburg Scout Reservation

The sound of water lapping against Monroe Lake's shoreline sets the tone at this Scout reservation campground. Located on the lake's edge, Ransburg Scout Reservation provides both drive-in and walk-in camping options with electric and water hookups for RVs alongside traditional tent sites.

Multiple watercraft options define the lake experience here. "Located on Monroe lake, they have canoeing, row boats, sailboats, motor boats, and skiing," explains Margo B.. The property extends across considerable acreage, which creates distance between some campsites and the aquatics area. A climbing wall provides an alternative to water activities, while hiking trails wind through the heavily wooded sections of the grounds.

The campground maintains restrooms and shower facilities, though campers note the large scale means walking distances to amenities can be substantial. Dense tree cover provides natural shade throughout most camping areas. Staff assistance is available for questions about facilities and activities. The mess hall serves groups, particularly during organized programs.
