Camp Goodwill (Cabin Camp 1) was the first camp in the park completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930's. It sleeps 214 visitors. Its dining hall and craft lodges are some of the best examples of rustic architecture in the park. Stone foundations and fireplaces and whole log supports showcase the beautiful native materials used for construction by the CCC. The sleeping cabins in this camp host 4 to 10 campers per unit and are newer construction (circa 1980s). Some sleeping cabins are handicapped-accessible.

Camp Goodwill is not available to rent, since, NatureBridge, a National Park Service (NPS) partner for outdoor educational programs, has exclusive use of the camp under agreement with the NPS.
