Love the views with a lake with tee pees on an island and mountains in the background. Dining hall has a beautiful outdoor pavilion with views to a great lawns, flags and lake. Lots of energetic scout volunteers. Lake has small boats, sailing, motorboating and skiing. The are gun and archery ranges. Easily take a 5 mile hike on camp property.
My son came here last year and couldn't stop talking about it so I decided to come with him this year. This is a phenomenal place for Scouts and their leaders and highly recommend it to any troops looking for an awesome summer camp
This year I worked at Woodruff in the dining hall for 5 weeks, after working it last year for a week. I just fell in love with this camp, its setting in the Georgia hills, the camp staff are awesome, the opportunities it afforded my scout in leadership skills as a CIT, the programs that they offer are outstanding. We drove up from Texas to be part of the team. Will be returning again next year. What an experience.
If you're in search of an authentic camping experience, look no further than Woodruff Scout Camp! The site does an excellent job with signage—clear and easy to follow, making sure you're never lost in the wilderness.
But speaking of navigation, a word of caution when driving around the camp. The roads can be a bit narrow and winding, so it's best to take it slow and watch for other cars and pedestrians, specially small pedestrians.
One of the highlights here is the commitment to an authentic natural experience. There's very limited artificial lighting, which adds to the rustic charm. That said, you'll definitely want to pack some lamps or flashlights to navigate after dark.
When it comes to amenities, the showers are quite functional but are truly one with nature—literally. If you plan on showering, I highly recommend bringing sandals as you'll be sharing the floor with some of nature's smaller inhabitants!
And lastly, but most importantly, please remember to follow the "Leave No Trace" philosophy. It's such a beautiful spot; let's keep it that way for future campers to enjoy.
