Caringal Scout Camp

Address - 655 Telbit Road, Tyers Junction

Caringal is a Scout Campsite - which is also open to the public. 

​As Caringal is a Scout site, Scout groups are given a large discount on any hirings provided they are taking part in a genuine Scouting activity.  This does not include a youth member going on a camping holiday with their family.  This would be treated as a public booking.  

​If, however it's a large family camp organised by the Group then yes it would qualify.  The same as a Troop, Cub or Joey camp.  A rough benchmark is 'is it a camp which requires you to arrive and leave in uniform and you're going to have a flag break each day". If the answer to this is "Yes" then you would qualify for the Scout discount. 

​Patrol camps are welcome too with some small sites available

​What is the discount I hear . . . . . . .

• There is a flat camping fee of $5 per head per night with no site fees.  

• Any cabins, mess hall or bunkhouse are discounted by 30% with again the $5 per head fee.

• The Troop hall is available for sleeping for an overnight stay such as a Cub sleep over

Where do you camp? 

Unless you ask otherwise we put Scout camps on the top of the hill past the carpark.  This is open and has a separate unisex toilet block.  If we have Groups camping we can arrange to shut the main shower/toilets to the public for a suitable time each day so the youth can have a shower.  If there are a large number of Groups staying we have to use the main camping ground but again we can shut the main toilets each day.
