You have to call Camden County to set up an appointment to be able to enter because gate to get to cemetery is kept locked!
Cemetery maintained by SCV Camp #1933 & MOS&B Chapter #281 Va Beach Va (A joint guardian project)
This cemetery is in HORRIBLE shape! It is completely overgrown and the stones are cracking and breaking due to the weight of the weeds growning on and around them. The SCV or someone needs to do something before every stone in this cemetery is broken beyond repair and some are lost forever!
