Last Updated: February 17, 2026

Girl Scout Camp in Virginia typically refers to private, reservation-only campgrounds operated by Girl Scouts of the USA, such as Camp Potomac Woods or Camp Pamunkey Ridge.


Summary

These camps feature established sites with cabins, platform tents, or lodges—dispersed camping is not allowed. Reservations and fees are required, often limited to Girl Scout troops. Amenities vary but generally include pit or flush toilets, potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and occasionally RV access (without hookups). Set in forested, serene settings near lakes or rivers, the camps offer hiking, canoeing, and nature activities. Best visited in late spring to early fall. Public access may be restricted; confirm directly before planning a trip.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
