Camp Conewago
A historic camp.
A weekend of possibilities.
Gather your unit for a weekend where the Little and Big Conewago streams meet. Just over 10 miles from Gettysburg, Conewago offers a camp base close to history.
Find your place at camp
Choose the space that fits your unit, from tent campsites and covered outdoor shelters to the original main lodge and Stokes cabin. Check Black Pug, our online reservation and registration system, for facility details and availability before planning your stay.
Plan ahead for Gettysburg visits. Conewago is very popular with out-of-council units visiting Gettysburg. Submit your reservation early — if you wait until the last minute, the space you need may already be reserved.
Main lodge
Sleeps 21
Built in 1920, the lodge brings Scouts together around a large stone fireplace. A wrap-around porch, full kitchen, and bunk beds with mattresses support a weekend at camp.
Rothrock shelters

The six “Rothrocks” are covered outdoor shelters, each sleeping eight. Named for the Department of Forest and Waters chairman, each shelter honors a Native American tribe.
Stokes cabin

The former Administration Building offers electricity, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a wood stove. Dedicated in 1937, it honors Camping Chairman H. Merle Stokes.
Tent campsites
Nine campsites
Bring your tents for an outdoor stay with your unit. Check Black Pug for campsite details and availability, and reserve early when planning a Gettysburg visit.
Gather at the campfire circle
Make time to gather together at camp. Conewago’s campfire circle offers bench seating in a wooded setting.
More than a century of Scouting
In 1919, Conewago Council and local civic leaders raised the funds for a Scout camp. On September 13, the council purchased 25 acres in Hamilton Township, Adams County, from George T. Gitt.
The land at the meeting of the two Conewago streams had served as a trading post for early settlers and local tribes. Today, many original camp structures remain, connecting each visit with Conewago’s long history.
