Named for Seattle Juvenile Court Judge William George Long (1894-1974), Camp Long was built in 1937 as a place for organized scouting groups to learn camping skills. In 1984, park officials made the 68 acre park more accessible to the general public, allowing visitors to enjoy nature, hike in the forest, camp overnight in rustic cabins, rock climb, and learn about natural history.

In this image, park ranger John Bierlein stands near Polliwog Pond, one of the central attractions at Camp Long.
