Camping Information
CAMPING
Troops camping at the U.S. Grant Pilgrimage cannot set up camp at Grant Park. You may make your plans to camp at an area State park. To assist you in making your choices of State Parks, we are providing you a list of names, address and phone numbers of area parks. Some State Parks require an advance reservation. It is up to each troop to prepare their own camping reservations in advance.
