535 acres of adventure on Clarks Hill Lake.
About Knox Scout Reservation
The Robert E. Knox Scout Reservation (K.S.R.) is located near the Georgia-Carolina border, along the Savannah River and 71,000 acres of Clarks Hill Lake. Distinguished by its 7 miles of shoreline, K.S.R. offers a one-of-a-kind camping experience on 535 acres.
While many BSA camps have a lake on property, K.S.R. is a camp that branches outward into one of the largest lakes in Georgia and South Carolina: Clarks Hill Lake/Lake Strom Thurmond — a lake 39 miles in length with a shoreline of 1,200 miles. Situated in a picturesque region in Georgia, K.S.R. lies near the Sumter National Forest, Mistletoe State Park, Hampton Branch State Park, and Baker Creek State Park.

Support K.S.R.
Recently, K.S.R. has received several major updates, including new air-conditioned facilities such as the Rodger W. Giles Dining Hall, Sewell Admin Center, Trading Post, and Medical Lodge. Currently, several teams are implementing our council's camping and strategic plan with an aim to increase quality programming year round and install a number of new facilities and program areas — all while preserving the splendid ecosystem at camp.
There are many ways to support the Robert E. Knox Scout Reservation. Please consider participating in our workdays (with the Ranger Corps), pledging your financial support, and/or lending a hand with our new program development initiatives.
