Camp Pico Blanco is the official Scout Camp of the
Monterey Bay Area Council.

Camp Pico Blanco is located in the Big Sur Coast area of Central California, just 12 miles south of Carmel off Highway 1 and inland 13 miles on Palo Colorado Road. The camp is situated on over 800 acres along the North Fork of the Little Sur River and is surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest and bordered by the Ventana Wilderness area.

Owned by the Monterey Bay Area Council, BSA, the camp was purchased in 1948 from the William Randolph Hearst Family.
