Camp Carlson, Ft. Knox, KY

Postby Ora » Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:33 pm

By pure coincidence Lotek and I ended up at Camp Carlson yesterday (went to our Goddaughter's JROTC competition in the area and their group just so happened to be staying at Carlson). I'll say the camp looked pretty nice and the cabins were spiffy and all, but the only field I saw was a bit small. Because of the late time of day and the weather (rainy) we didn't look around too much and I'm not certain if there is a larger field than the one we saw (and we were also there too late to talk to the manager in person). In its entirety the campground seemed smaller than the Group Camp I area at Monty Bell. IMHO I'm not certain that this would be a suitable site for any further considerations for future Armageddon sites. However, if anyone else finds themselves there (by coincidence or on purpose) maybe your opinion will differ from ours. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Yeah, I got the lowdown when I talked to the camp manager last year (they're posted in the Arm. thread). Don't get me wrong, the camp is 'pretty', but I don't know if our group could handle the restrictions.
