Best Campground New Haven Near Me

4worldlovers: Camp Whiting is the Troop 63 camp in Woodbridge. Boy Scouts from our troop and other local troops come to the camp to stay for a weekend and go on hikes to the Judges Cave, or on the trails back behind our camp. The camp has a cabin and a couple lean-tos for the boys to stay in. There is also a big field down at the bottom of the hill where we set up tents.

Much of our Troop's legacy is reflected in the history of our own camp and the dedicated fathers who built it. In 1963 our first camp "Camp Schulz" was established on land donated by Mr. Schulz of Woodbridge. The camp centered around a 30 x 30 solid oak cabin and took Charlie Whiting, Ernie Trowbridge, Don Schultz, Mac Engstrom, Rupert Thomas, John Reynolds and many other dedicated Dad's working weekends nearly three years to build.

Our goal is to provide a unique and beautiful location for participants of any group that has a desire to host an event & enjoy the great outdoors.

Beyond this goal, our organization does have a specific mission: Created in 1924 by the Inter-Service Clubs Committee of New Haven, Inc., a private and independent non-profit organization, Camp Cedarcrest is committed to providing an enlightening and enjoyable outdoor experience to the underprivileged youth of the Greater New Haven area, focusing on environmental stewardship, community service, team building, and personal growth.

If you are part of an organization or school that serves underprivileged youth and your group is looking for a unique and refreshing outdoor experience... We especially encourage you to give us a call!

Please Note: We do not accommodate individual cabin rentals, very small groups, or RVs & Campers.
