VIEW THE GUIDECamp Cleawox History
Girl Scouts began camping at Camp Cleawox before the signing of a property lease with the United States Forest Service on May 8, 1930. Much of the camp has been built and rebuilt over the last 90 years, most significantly the new main lodge in 1996, which is equipped with a large dining area, commercial kitchen, two bathrooms, showers and a fireplace.

The 1930s: Initial construction 
The 1950s: No more coming to camp on barges!
Prior to the mid-1950s, there was no road leading to Camp Cleawox from
Highway 101. To get to camp girls would arrive at Honeyman State Park
and take a barge across Lake Cleawox with all of their camping gear. The
construction of Mitchell Loop Road allowed vehicle entrance for
supplies, equipment and girls. At right is an illustrated depiction of
what it might have been like for girls traveling to camp by barge.

Camp is still about tradition!
With all of the changes throughout the years, many traditions have stayed the same. Some camper favorites include campfire stories about mythical Tajar—Camp Cleawox’s mischievous but friendly animal occupant. Each week girls earn the right to be known as a Knight of the Sand Dune, a tradition started long ago.
