Camp Navarro History

A private Camp for over 100 years, Camp Navarro began as a lumber camp of the Albion Lumber Company in the very early 1900's. 

Things really took off for Albion Lumber and the redwood timber industry after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake destroyed 30,000 buildings. It was discovered that the City had a plentiful and cheap building material, redwood lumber, to rebuild the city with.

A railroad was built to haul the logs to the coast. A spur of the railroad from Albion ran through the camp and up Neefus Creek, The Y for turning engines around is still faintly visible in camp. A piece of the original rail is displayed in front of the Lodge

The camp was used as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp during the Depression, and then as an army camp during World War II. 

The Masonite Corporation sold Camp Navarro to the Sonoma-Mendocino Area Boy Scout Council in 1956 and it was renamed Camp Masonite Navarro. It was a private Scout camp and the 'crown jewel' property used by the Scouts as well as other youth groups for over 60 years. 

In 2012, Camp Navarro Stewards completed the purchase of the camp from the Boy Scouts and made it available to the public for the first time in it's long history.

We recognize the irreplaceable environmental and social value of Camp Navarro and it's long history in the community. We are committed to opening the camp to you, for your event, with creative sensitivity and  the enjoyment of the delicate balance of human and natural interaction surrounding us.
