In early 2012, Scouting in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties were reassigned to Crater Lake Council (Oregon), while Redwood Empire Council retained the Scouting programs in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.

A spur of the Fort Bragg and Southeastern Railroad from Albion to the mill at Wendling (now Navarro) and Christine (now Floodgate) ran through the camp and up Neefus Creek.

There was a "Y" for turning engines around that is still vaguely visible in camp, A piece of rail and large chain are also some railroad remnants that are displayed in front of the dining hall.

Lumbering and the railroad stopped in the 1920s but notches cut in redwoods for springboards, can still be seen in the Mohawk campsite and outside of the staff shower area.

When acquired by Scouting it still had a row of decrepit plywood barracks along the river side of the parade ground.

As a result, the camp became a financial burden that caused the council to run a deficit and go into debt.

The council carries the mortgage note for the new owners, so the financial obligation is not yet paid off.

The SMAC, then later the Redwood Empire Council, offered a summer program for Boy Scouts that consisted of two to three one-week sessions.

Scouts and Scouters enter and leave the camp normally by riding the California Western Railroad "Skunk Train" which also runs along the Noyo River.
