 Canoes on the bank of the lake at Camp Darden

Climb towards new heights at Camp Darden. Located in Courtland, Virginia (just a few minutes from Franklin), Camp Darden is the place for adventure. Here, you'll find a swimming pool, boating lake, an outdoor climbing wall, low ropes course, and an axe-throwing range. Camp Darden has 105 acres of beauty with sleeping space for more than 240 campers. The property is an ideal destination for single troops or larger groups. Modern and rustic facilities include indoor bathrooms in buildings that include a central dining hall and several cabins and lodges. There are also screened Adirondacks and shelters, a yurt, u-pitch tent area, an outdoor pavilion, and platform tents.
