Camping Info

When you arrive, you can drive to the site, drop off your equipment but then you must return your vehicle to the parking lot near headquarters. The general store on-site sells snacks, t-shirts, and coops of ice. It is 16 miles to Wal-Mart, so plan well!

Reserve your campsite a couple months or more in advance. At each campsite, there are covered pavilions with picnic tables, lights and ceiling fans, as well as bathroom facilities for men and women with showers. There are multiple families at each campsite area, so prepare to have lots of patience, especially at night.

Check in on Saturday is between 8:30am and 10am EASTERN time. Activities begin at 10:00 EASTERN time.
