Camp Aberdeen has a lot of space to spread out. It is not recommended to camp next to the fire pit or in the brush. We do our best to control it, but there is a lot of poison ivy on our land. The open fields and paths are generally free of it, but un-cleared places likely have a lot of it. The lake is swimable, but rinse off afterwards to avoid simmers itch. There is an outdoor shower on the premesis.

Please leave our campground clean. Pack out what you pack in. There will be a trash can available with limited capacity.

There is a very large dog named Abel that will bark at you when you arrive. He is harmless, amazing with kids and a big gentle boy. Treat him like you know him and he will lean on you for pets. Ignore him and he will continue to bark. He is loud, but he's a good boy.
