The Disabled American Veterans of Chapter Two, Ramsey County, ran the camp through the 1930's and 40's.  It was originally known as the Disabled American Veterans Rest Camp.  After the ending of World War II, the DAV Chapter Two invited representation from the VFW and Legion districts of Ramsey county to be on the Board of Directors.  The board configuration of three representatives from each of the organizations existed for many years.  In 1948, the Board dropped the word American from the camp name. 

     In 1982, the Board of Directors dropped the word Disabled because it was mistakened to mean the camp was restricted to service-connected disabled veterans.  The camp still stands to serve veterans with service-connected disabilites, and gives preference to them, but it is open to all members of the Armed Forces who served honorably.

     In 1986, the main house was deemed beyond repair and was removed.  This left the original 12 cabins available for rental purposes, and a few RV sites were available. 

    To honor the origin of the camp and its original purpose, the Board changed the camp name back to the Disabled Veterans Rest Camp in 2004, still providing site preference to service-connected disabled veterans, but open to all Honorably discharged Armed Forces members and currently serving military members and their families.
