Camp Jefferson

Camp Jefferson is located 3 miles south of Fairbury on Hwy 8 and one mile west on Camp Jefferson Road. With its fully-functioning mess hall, the multi-purpose arts/crafts area, and multiple cabins for lodging, it is the perfect place to bring your group. Camp Jefferson offers many recreational activities including swimming in the pool, sand volleyball, archery and canoeing. Camp Jefferson has housed both girl scout and boy scout camps, as well as corporate functions, graduation parties and family reunions.

Camp Jefferson is open from March 1 to December 31. Peak season (Memorial Day weekend through September 15) bookings can only be made starting at midnight on October 15 of the preceding year. Outside of peak season, we are more flexible with making reservations in advance. Listed below are our standard booking blocks for general groups, as well as our rates for 2020. Most reservations can be made via our automated system below. (Tip: Our system is restrictive and not overly sophisticated. If you are having trouble getting your reservation made exactly the way you want, or if the calculated rates seem at odds with what you think they should be, we advise that you go ahead and try to complete your booking as best you can, then email us with a request for help in resolving your issues. We can usually fix problems on the back end of the system.) Bookings can also be made by personal request by email or phone (402-587-0738 during regular hours). Youth camps have special rates, and they may be eligible for priority booking; please contact us directly to arrange these. We look forward to seeing you at Camp Jefferson!
