Camping

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AMENITIES:

Not all campsites have identical amenities. Read the campsite information on the reservations website to see photos of campsites; check availability and fees; find out whether a specific site is wheelchair accessible, has access to water, bathouses or pit toilets, or has electric hookup; and learn other important information.

A variety of settings offer camping experiences for large and small groups. Drive to the family campground, paddle to the canoe camping sites or backpack to the primitive sites. Facilities may be limited in winter months.

Tent and trailer camping

The family campground is in the midst of a pine/hardwood forest just beyond the park office. Twenty campsites for tents and trailers offer picnic tables and grills. A washhouse with drinking water, restrooms and showers serves the campground. There are no electrical hookups, water or dumping station.

Group camping

Organized groups will enjoy a stay in the walk-in group camping area or in a canoe camping group site.

Facilities for the walk-in sites include a small washhouse with a shower. Drinking water is available nearby.

Backpack camping

Reach five campsites for backpack camping by hiking a side trail off Lassiter Trail.

Campers must pack all supplies, including water, to the sites. A pit toilet is nearby.

Views of the "enchanted forest" and Lassiter Swamp await those who travel to the backpack camping area.

Paddle-in camping

Reach three canoe camps by way of paddle trails leading from the boat ramp.

Orange markers lead to the family canoe camp with 10 sites. Yellow markers lead to the group canoe camp, which offers three sites. Pit toilets are available, but campers must carry in all supplies, including water, and carry out their trash.

The third canoe camp is located down Bennett's Creek, approximately 4.5 miles from the boat ramp. Bennett's Creek canoe-in campgrounds are carry-in, carry-out with no restrooms.
