"I went to Layton Lodge with my father for a Boy Scout meeting involving camp Tracy. The meeting was at Layton Lodge and we ate supper and had dinner wonderful time to interact and minister with each other. I had a grand time and I enjoyed spending time with my father on a boy scout outing!"

"Beautiful facility. The lodge is very spacious, there is a cute pond for canoeing, and the amphitheater area is large. We loved that many of the picnic areas were in deep tree shade. The canyon is beautiful. We didn't stay overnight on this trip, but we did look in the cabins and they were very practical: open space in the middle with bunks around the walls."

"Good camp. Stole the Wi-Fi password. Made the staff jealous. Forced the director to upgrade the password to prevent more questionable activities. Would redirect all internet searches to Never Gonna Give You Up again. 11/C+"

"In the middle of Camp Tracy is the Lodge. It is large enough for classes and activities inside and a meeting place for emergencies. It has the only flush toilets in the camp. I am willing to walk half a mile just for that. The best cell phone service is near the Lodge. I love the view from the Lodge seeing Taylor Lake and the scouts and adults having a great time."

"A huge lodge overlooking a small lake and mountain views. Exposed beams and floor to ceiling fireplace made an amazing setting for our wedding, yet inexpensive compared with Log Haven and Millcreek Inn up the road. The lodge and kitchen are very clean which was so surprising considering this is a scout camp. Everything in the kitchen was very orderly and other than a small mud room in the back was very sanitary. It was the best wedding ever. We..."
