This beautiful setting offers the rare experience of canoeing on glassy salt water, while gazing along a densely forested shoreline. Camp Parsons is one of the oldest Scout camps in America, providing wilderness adventure to Scouts and Scouters since 1919. Special features include the climbing tower, 16-position rifle and archery ranges, and the Fort Dukabush museum. Swimming, canoeing, and sailing in the saltwater aquatics area are other popular activities available to visitors.

There is a modern central building with private showers, and each campsite features canvas tents on platforms (during the summer) or Adirondack shelters with bunks, and new flush toilet facilities. A great place for camping programs as well as rental groups.
