Royce Finel has five primitive Campsites with fresh water, all have tables and approved firerings. A flagpole area, two double latrines, the second one has just been finished and is located at the Flagpole area. Four camp sites have tarp shelter frames. (The tarp shelters take a 11.5 x 15.5 tarp)

Royce Finel is limited to a Maximum of Fifty Persons Camping on any given weekend. If you have a bigger group please check out one of the other Council short term Camps. The five campsites are more appropriate for patrol sites, not troop campsites.

IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION

Units can not drive into Camp Royce Finel. The only way to get there is hike the twenty minute trail around the lake or bring a boat or Canoe to haul heavy equipment such as Dutch ovens, coolers etc.
The service road is closed to all units and the gate is locked.

Clatsop County has implemented a new seasonal day use fee at Carnahan Park. (Where units park to hike to Royce Finel.) The fee is as follows:

• $3.00 per day per vehicle from May 1st to end of September.
• No fee from October 1st to end of April.

Our suggestion to avoid day use fees is this: Units can unload the Scouts and gear across the street at the entrance to Carnahan Park (Do not park there.) and can park vehicles two blocks west on the East side of Hawkins Rd., (North and South of Westshore Ln.)

Units that still want to park in the park are welcome to do so but must pay these fees. There is a pay station at the Entrance to the park. Units can pay all at once for the time they stay. Be sure to write the dates of stay down. A park ranger checks the vehicles for violations several times a day.

A copy of your tour permit still needs to be on the dash of all vehicles that are in the park. This is for overnight use in a day use park. Be sure the dates of stay are on your tour permit. If you do not have your tour permit on the dash, the county will think you are illegally camping in the park, and you will be fined $250.00. PLEASE LOCK ALL VEHICLES.
