Pioneer Campsite

Pioneer Site Info

If you are looking for an opportunity to do Outpost -style camping for your summer resident camp experience, we have just the thing for you with this beautiful site. Wide open spaces, lots of room, and its own entrance make this site a real favorite for off-season and summer resident campers alike. Pioneer sits on a bluff across the road from the main camp and is definitely off on it's own. Yet it isn't so far from the main camp that you can't be part of all the great things that make Goose Pond what it's famous for. You get the best of both worlds at Pioneer - on your own and able to participate in all the programs the Pond offers when you want them.

Site capacity: For large sized units or several smaller units camping together
Special Features: Grassy center with nicely shaded woods on edges
Latrine type: Classic-style pit latrines

Site Access

Site is on its own road with a separate entrance and gate near the Maintenance Garage. It can be easily accessed by most types of 4x4 vehicles and there is room enough for two to three vehicles to be left at the site in the off season. Most trailers with decent ground clearance can easily be towed to the site with plenty of room for maneuvering, but the road is rough in some places and care should be given getting in and out . Site is a 5-minute walk downhill to the Administration Building.
