About this site

Source

Scout Beach keeps the camping in the trees and the beach a short walk down, so you get shade at the tent and Great Central Lake when you want it. Swimming and fishing are the draw.

Camping is first come, first served across 12 sites, reached on gravel, with a boat launch for anything you tow in. Beach access is on foot rather than by vehicle.

Great Central is about 12 km back for supplies, with fuel about 20 km away, so fill up on the way through rather than counting on something closer. The Funship trails are about 28 km out for a riding day.
