We made a weekday reservation to meet Mick. Upon arrival, he provided a verbal overview of the camp and took us to Muhammad's cabin, told us about Muhammad's use of the cabin and showed us how to utilize the videos. Also, Mick informed us about which buildings were open. Then, we were able to view the camp at our own pace. Some of the camp was on a hillside so older visitors need to be careful since there are rocky spots. You can spend 90 minutes to 3 hours since you are on your own most of the time. Very interesting place to visit and learn more about Muhammad Ali.

We went there this Sunday. The place is closed for the season, but you can always make a reservation for a tour. We were lucky to meet Mike, who opened the buildings for us, and it was possible to self-guide, as they have videos in each of them. Beautifully restored. Free admission, but you can make donations. Highly recommend visiting this place if you're interested in boxing, or just want to know a little more about Ali. And, if you want to get a taste of sports history, you can also rent a cabin there.

We were in 7th Heaven. What an opportunity to experience the training camp that Muhammad used to master his skills of boxing. Saw his sleeping , eating and training quarters. Even the family's accomodations and the mosque where he prayed. A must see and do for bucket list boxing enthusiast. You won't be disappointed.

I've been there June 29th 2019. I am a big Muhammad Ali fan. The place was very clean and a lot of history with Muhammad Ali there. And they also take you on a guided tour. They do not expect no money whatsoever but I left a $20 donation and I got a Muhammad Ali t-shirt showing Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston. It was the best time I had all year. It looks just the same as 1 Muhammad Ali train there and at the time Muhammad Ali's limousine driver was there he was the driver from 1971 until his last fight with Trevor berbick the drama in the Bahamas. Anybody who was a Muhammad Ali fan this is a must-see and go there just Google it on your phone and it will give you directions very easy to get there me and a friend of mine went there it was 102 miles to get there but I would do it again. The man who bought the place John Madden the football coach his son bought it has done a very good job on keeping a historical place put back together. I will go again if I can find someone who would go with me because I do not like driving alone that far. But I am going to go again if you are a fan you have to go. Thank...

This is a must see when you are in the northeast. I am not a boxer nor have an interest in the sport, but found the camp very well preserved and lots of information. You could feel the spirit of Mohammad Ali there. We went in the off season and Mick made it very easy to accommodate us. He was very knowledgeable. It was cool to be able to “touch” things, as in most museums you cannot. He encouraged us to reenact some of the photos, which I thought brought a sense of life to the space, as you were a part of the setting. I never stepped into a boxing ring before, and was surprised by how bouncy...
