Located in the heart of beautiful Marin County, this scenic year-round camp property is located two miles uphill from Sir Francis Drake Blvd just outside Fairfax village. Camp Tamarancho has over 412 acres of grassy meadows, oak- and madrone-covered knolls, and redwood-forest canyons along Fairfax Ridge with amazing views of the North Bay stretching from Mt. Tamalpais to Mt. Diablo. Among this idyllic setting, there are a dozen spacious group campsites, three 4-person rustic cabins and four 8-person Adirondack shelters. Other facilities include a commercial kitchen, a large meeting hall, and the "Green Bar" Staff Hill training area with its own historic leaders' cabin and newly-remodeled showerhouse. The camp is about 50 minutes from San Francisco and just over an hour from the central East Bay. Developed program areas include Archery, Rifle and Tomahawk ranges, a small lake with swimming/canoeing/fishing, a sports field, several picnic areas, lots of hiking and backpacking access to the Marin County Open Space Preserves, and a legendary single-track mountain-biking trail network. There are two large family camping areas each with their own parking lots and able to accommodate 50-150 people. Annual events conducted at Tamarancho include a Winter Pinewood Derby Workshop, Spring Family Fiesta wknd, Summer Cub Scout Day Camp weeks, Fall Cub Scout Adventure wknd, Scouting Camp-O-Rees, Order of the Arrow induction ceremonies, Range and Target Activities days, and many leadership training programs including NYLT, BALOO, IOLS, and WoodBadge.
