When an individual or group make a reservation for an activity or program, these items are included in ordering of materials and staffing for that event.
The council reserves the right to cancel programs, as attendance or weather requires.
If the council cancels a program or closes a camp, the payment/deposit can be transferred to another program/available date or returned as requested.
If you decide to cancel your reservation/do not show up and the camp is open, there will be no refund or alternate date offered.
Refunds: Individuals or groups that cancel a program reservation 30 days prior to the date of the event will receive a refund of fees paid, less a 15% administrative charge. No refunds will be made after the 30 day cancelation deadline, unless there is a medical or other emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions at Winnebago Scout Reservation
Q: Do I need to bring firewood? Can I bring firewood?
A: Firewood is provided at each campsite. Please do not bring firewood to the camp.
Q: Are there flushing toilets and showers at Winnebago? Where are they? Can they be accessed year round?
A: Bathrooms with flushing toilets and showers are available at the Dining Hall (from the outside) and at the Corwin Training Center (from the outside) year round. The bathroom next to the Trading Post is also open year round (no showers). When selecting a cabin or campsite, please use the camp map to locate their proximity to these locations. The shower house with bathrooms, showers, and laundry is only open during summer camp. All cabins and campsites have a latrine with seasonal washing station nearby.

A: See Ranger Notes above for water shut off dates. Water containers can be filled at the Dining Hall year round.
Q: All of the cabins and/or campsites are not available. Does this mean the reservation system is not accurate?
A: No. If you have accessed our online reservation system, the bookings are up-to-the-minute up-to-date.

You may call the Camping department at 973-765-9322 x 225 if you need assistance finding an available date.

Q: Can I drive up to my campsite? Can we bring a troop trailer?
