Summary
Reservations aren't required; sites are first-come, first-served with modest nightly fees. Amenities include pit toilets, drinking water, fire rings, grills, picnic tables, and RV access (some electric hookups available, but no full hookups). Nestled in a forested valley along Otter Creek, the campground provides a peaceful, shady atmosphere with scenic beauty. Trails wind through wooded areas and limestone bluffs, and a trout stream offers excellent fishing. Spring through early fall is ideal for camping, thanks to mild weather and vibrant greenery.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
