Camp Kilworth

The best kept secret in Federal Way. Great Cub Scout & Girl Scout Camps held at Kilworth every Summer. A little bit of wilderness right in the middle of Federal Way. Tons of great childhood memories made here every year.

Camp Kilworth is a Boy Scout Camp that is quite large and has a lot of things going for it that the kids love. Also, you can rent a campsite or other parts of this camp whether your boy is a scout or not.
There’s a firebowl with concrete benches that face the water with a really lovely view. It’s a good spot for meetings and performances and has a firepit.
They have 13 campsites for rent with picnic tables and firepits, along with a lodge that has a full kitchen, fireplace, covered porch and restrooms. You can also rent canoes. There are BB gun ranges, archery ranges, an obstacle course, and activity fields. They have a rock climbing wall too.
Set on about 20 acres, this camp is large enough for kids to get lost in so be sure to pack appropriately for the woods.
I’ve been here a few times for Boy Scout events. The camp is well maintained. The firebowl is a great meeting place and the view over the water is nice, but it does get cold, even in the summertime. My son told me there are a lot of trails.
There is a gravel parking lot with a narrow lane leading into/​out of it.
You can rent the whole freaking camp for $ 1,000 if you aren’t a Boy Scout. If you are a Scout and in-​council, it’s $ 250, and if you’re a Scout and out-​of-​council, it’s $ 500. That’s a pretty awesome deal. See the website link for details on charges:
