The camps listed as “Outdoor Family Experience” are accepting reservations through February 28, 2021. March 1st and beyond will need to be booked in the camps that do not have "Outdoor Family Experience" in their names (for Example, S-F Outdoor Family Experience will allow reservations through August 16, but for dates past then, you must go to S-F Scout Ranch).
All tent sites are free for camping. Cabins (families only) are half price, and some program areas are discounted. NOTE: This excludes the Orthwein Family Cabins
Our S bar F Scout Ranch is one of the premier Scouting facilities in the United States. The Ranch's 5,200 acres include the 270-acre Nims Lake with the Little St. Francis River running through the property. The entrance to the Ranch is right on MO State Highway 67 just south of Knob Lick at the St. Francois and Madison county lines. It is about 12 miles south of Farmington and very easy to find.
Take Interstate 55 South from Saint Louis for approximately 33 miles. Take exit 174B to merge onto US-67 South. Continue on US-67 for approximately 46 miles to make a left turn in the campground.

Welcome! Please arrive at 3pm or later on your check-in day. Upon driving into camp, to check-in, call or text the head ranger (Rich Panosh 573-330-8863) to let him know you arrived. If you know where you are camping, go straight to your campsite. If you do not know where you are camping, the ranger will meet you at the ranger station (the first building you see entering camp), and lead you to your site. The ranger will maintain social distance when interacting with you, for everyone's safety.
Please be out of your site by 11am on your last day. To check-out, you will call the ranger right before you leave the property. If the ranger does not hear from you by noon, s/he will visit your site to check in on you.
Full refunds will be given for all day, overnight, and program reservations when they are canceled one week, or more, in advance of the visit. If reservations are canceled in the week prior to the start of the reservation, no refund will be given, but the funds can be transferred to a future reservation, if desired. In the event of severe weather that cancels a program reservation like boating, swimming, horseback riding, and climbing, full refunds will be given or transferred to future event, if desired. To request a refund, email camping@stlbsa.org where you will be asked to submit a refund request form.
