Where To Go Camping Guide

This camping guide is provided as a service of Colonneh Lodge #137, Order of the Arrow. It is our intent to provide the units of the Sam Houston Area Council Boy Scouts of America with a general guide to camping in and around Texas along with information on equipment and planning. The guide also contains information on council high adventure camps and national parks.

We highly recommend that units use this guide as a starting point for planning their camping adventures. Additional information may be obtained through the Internet and from a myriad of camping guides and manuals at your local outfitter and bookstore.
