Summary
Reservations are recommended, especially during events; fees apply. The campground features flush toilets, potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables. It’s a flat, open area—not forested—best for those attending fairground events rather than seeking wilderness solitude. The vibe is casual and community-oriented, ideal for families or RV travelers. While not a traditional scenic campground, it’s close to downtown Charlotte, Bennett Park, and local dining. The best time to visit is summer, especially during the Eaton County Fair or other scheduled events. Dispersed camping is not available.

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.
