Arbuckle Area Council's Camp Simpson is located east of Connerville, Oklahoma, in Johnston County, and is actually near Bromide, Oklahoma which is North of Tishomingo or South of Ada, Oklahoma. All the wonder and beauty of the great outdoors is available at Camp Simpson. Covering approximately 2,042 acres, Camp Simpson offers 12 campsites surrounded by trees, hills and foliage, all of which provide a natural setting for plants and wildlife.

The late Rev. Harry Miller from Ada, OK, Scout Executive of the former Pontotoc Council, began Camp Simpson in the early 1930's as a small 120-acre camp on the present site. The Delaware Indians had been relocated there when Oklahoma was "Indian Territory". The creek that ran through the camp was named Delaware Creek, after the Delaware Indians who had previously occupied the site.

In August of 1934, the Pontotoc Council, BSA began the purchase of property in Southeastern Oklahoma, which would eventually become known as Camp Simpson. Geologist, John Fitts, had discovered the property, which included an attractive swimming site named 'Witch Hole'. The council did not have the funds necessary to purchase the property, so R.W. Simpson, M.O. Matthews and other civic leaders put up the cash to buy the property. Rev. Miller would traditionally change the name of the Camp to honor benefactors of the council, with the final name of CAMP SIMPSON sticking in honor of Mr. Simpson in the 1950's.
