Overnight Camping Information

Camping Basics
Campsite reservations are limited to nationally recognized youth groups (i.e., BSA, GSA, AWANA, Indian Guides, etc.). All campouts are FREE of charge.

Camping is year round, except during January when the park is closed. Overnight camping is allowed on Friday and Saturday nights (there is no camping during holiday weekends or special event weekends). Only Scouts/youth group members and their leaders/parents may camp. Family camping is not permitted.

We have two campsites available and each holds up to 100 people. Only one campsite per group may be accommodated. Cantigny is able to accommodate tent camping only (no campers or trailers.

Cantigny's campgrounds offer washrooms, water pumps, trash collection and recycling bins, established fire pits, firewood, and picnic tables.

Advanced reservations are required. For Boy and Girl Scouts, a Certificate of Insurance and Tour Permit from your local council are also required.

A detailed list of Cantigny’s campground policies and procedures will be provided upon making a reservation.
