Added Details about Webelos Camping Site

Webelos Scouts and Parents:

 

To supplement Hope’s outstanding e-mail, I just returned a few moments ago from conducting a recon of Dan Nicholas Park.   We are in for some great fun.  It takes about 45-50  minutes to get there from Winston-Salem.

 

The gates to the Park close at 8 pm.   However, the code to the gate is 9999 (yes, four 9s), so if you are not carpooling and otherwise arrive after 8 pm (or need to leave the park for some reason after 8 pm) you can still get in or out.

 

After you turn left to enter the park, take your first right to reach our campsite (about a ¼ mile after you make the right turn).  You will see a sign on the right that says “Boy Scouts.”  The parking lot is immediately to the left (see my first attached photo).

 

The parking lot where we will park is about 100 yards from where our campsite is located.   There is a nice playground, a miniature golf course, and numerous other attractions located close by.   We have bathrooms with running water located about 150 yards from our campsite.  However, be advised that there are no showers.

 

Our campsite has a small building with electricity, together with a covered area and lots of picnic tables.  That will provide a nice area for us to serve and eat our meals.   I picked up the key to this building from the Concessions Building.  We may have a little sweeping and arranging to do Friday night after we get there to get it ship shape.

 

FYI — There is a nice fishing pond that is available for use, PROVIDED that you have a valid NC Fishing License and pay a $2 fee to the park.

 

Very respectfully,

Brad
