| Camp Pioneer is a 13 acre facility owned by Troop 196-Camp Pioneer, Inc. and located in the Dillsburg, PA area. The property consists of a heated cabin with 14 bunk beds (sleeps 28 people), electric stove, refrigerator, sink with hot and cold running water, enough tables and chairs for the occupants and a woodstove. Heat for the cabin is minimally provided by a liquid propane-fired heater but is principally heated through the use of a woodstove. Firewood is provided. | |
| Also located on the facility is a 25 ft by 50 ft pavilion with picnic tables and electricity, a catch and release fishing pond, an outdoor water pump, a chapel area, an outhouse facility and an Adirondack shelter which can provide shelter for approximately 15 additional people. As can be seen in the photos below, there is also plenty of cleared area for tent camping. | |

Directions: Take Route 15 South to Dillsburg. Just past the "84 Lumber Company", take a right on South Mountain Road. Proceed on this road for 4.4 miles. You will pass a church on the left and must then bear right onto Coffeetown Road. Travel 1 mile. You will proceed two driveways beyond the Dillsburg Fish and Game Club and turn right onto a gravel lane marked by red posts. The gateway to Camp Pioneer will be just around the bend. If you reach Whiskey Spring Road, you have missed the gravel lane and have gone too far. |
