Great camp. Sites are a nice size for family camping or a small group. Larger groups will need multiple sites in the same area. Each site has an ample fire ring with cruched stone fire break. Easy to access off of 47 and I90

We have visited Tomo now every year for the past 14 years as a Scout group and always have had a wonderful time with camping and hiking as well as a wonderful lodge that can also be rented and make a winter weekend wonderful as well for a larger group. Always a great time any time of the year! Thanks for so many wonderful memories!

Back in the day this was a BSA camp where I spent many weekends. Its as beautiful now as it ever was. I go there for the hike. The main loop is a great way to get some exercise and see some beautiful forests and marshes. There's even a large hill, which is sometimes hard to find in this area. I think this may be the best short hiking loop in the area!

It's a wonderful place for Scout troops and for hiking. Beautifully maintained facility. Spent the day there with my Scouts BSA troop and could not have asked for a better facility
