Abandoned Girl Scout Camp in the Withlacoochee Forest

Exploring a old abandoned Girl Scout Camp in the Withlacoochee State Forest in Florida.

This is so sad for me. Withlacoochee was my favorite Girl Scout camp. We loved being up in our cabin with the rope ladder pulled up. Our troop leader's husband enjoyed going into the woods at night and making scary animal noises. It was quite something! The fun of being in your little treehouse with just a few other friends (I believe a treehouse slept 4) was amazing. I was about 11 or 12 and that was in the 70s.

Sounds like you had some good times there. It is sad that is no longer in use, but I hope the video brought back some great memories from your past. :)

How very sad to see the camp in this shape. I spent many, many weekends sleeping in the tree houses and paddling up and down the river in the 1960's. It was a wonderful camp and we Girl Scouts created lifetime memories, friendships, and skills there. Lots of campfires, good food, songs, and stories were shared and merit badges earned. Sorry the camp is gone for generations of young Girls Scouts. Thank you for the story.

Hi Elaine It's always so cool to hear about the first experiences from people who stayed at the camp. Thanks for sharing yours. I hope the video brought back some fun memories for you. :)

Our Girl Scout troop camped here in the 60s. Mrs. Erwin was my troop leader. She was a wonderful woman.

Hi there! Great video, we were wondering if you could provide us with the exact location of the girl scout camp? We've just started urbex and are always looking for new locations. Thanks Man!

I don't know if you will see this, I am taking a youth group hiking in the Withlacoochee soon and was wondering if you could tell me where in the forest the old camp is.

Hi Blaze 2017. This video was shot during a cold winter day. I don't think there was any sweating that day lol. Thanks for checking out the video. :)
