About This Campsite
Mcfadden Girl Scout Cabin
The McFadden Girl Scout Cabin is a charming piece of history nestled within a vibrant natural setting. Originally constructed by William McFadden in the 1920s and later gifted to the New Orleans Girl Scouts in the 1930s, this one-room structure reflects a unique architectural heritage. The cabin stands proudly amidst City Park, enriched by the expanded Sydney and Walda Bestoff Sculpture Garden that now graces its surroundings.

- Embrace Simplicity: The cabin's one-room design is quaint but centers the appeal on its historical context and setting rather than modern amenities.
