The reservation consists of Camp Meade for Scouts BSA and Camp DuPortail for Cub Scouts. The camp is open for tent and cabin camping year-round.

The property has 635 acre of forest and a man-made lake, known as Lake Nalaheman. The camp also offers two swimming pools, a COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) Course, a climbing tower, and a confidence-building course for Cub Scouts. HMSR also maintains a shooting sports program in which participants are taught the safe and responsible use of firearms and archery; facilities include ranges for .22 caliber rifles and archery, as well as shotgun trap shooting, an action archery course, and sporting arrows. The Northeast Region's National Camp School is often held at the camp in early summer for one week.
