Park staff is proud to announce the opening of our newest attraction - a group campsite. Over the past year staff and numerous volunteers have been hard at work transforming a portion of the park into a campsite.
Last fall park staff began construction by clearing the entrance trail and central area. Then in the winter, with the help of Alex Griffis an Eagle Scout hopeful and Scout troop 400, five tent pads were installed. More improvements came in the spring with the addition of the water hydrant providing potable drinking water, campfire rings, picnic tables, and lantern hooks. Over this pass summer finishing touches were added to prepare the campsite for its fall grand opening.
The campsite is open to groups including boy scouts, girl scouts, 4-H clubs, youth groups, and camping clubs. We do not offer walk-in camping or camping for individuals. The site can accommodate from 6 to 30 people. For groups camping with children we ask that there be at least one adult per 10 minors.
The campsite is available on weekends from February 1 to November 15. Groups can camp from 1 to 3 consecutive nights per reservation, not to exceed 3 nights per calendar month. Reservations are required and must be made 30 days in advance. Reservations are available through the Orange County Recreation and Parks Administrative office located at 300 West Tryon Street in Hillsborough (919-245-2660). Applications may also be picked up at the park office and hand delivered or mailed to the Administrative Offices in Hillsborough.
