The camp is situated a short distance from a scenic, two-mile canyon of the tributary Guajataca River between steep cliffs which is accessible by canoe.

More than 60 species of birds which include hummingbirds, quail-doves, peregrine falcons, ospreys, owls, pelicans and grebes.

[10] Scouts and leaders who visit are lodged in one of the ten campsites, in-campsite cabins or stand-alone cabin-campsites of the reservation.

The SP or Swimming Pool Campsite, Palomar and Cóbana Negra[12] cabins are named based on their location, flora or physical characteristics.

[17][18] COPE program activities, which include rappelling and climbing,[19] as well as Wood Badge courses are offered at Camp Guajataka.

The OA has its own campsite, called "The Cabin", which occupancy has been discontinued due to structural damages, but remains standing.

In the past, each patrol had its own campsite nearby or next to their base of operations in the wooded areas of the camp, where they pitched their own tents and worked on pioneering gates that awed campers and visitors alike.

[23] In the months which followed the storm, Scouts from around the world aided in rebuilding efforts through donations and volunteer activities.
