Those with RV’s – You may want to stop as you approach the site. We will help you find a site of your choice and then escort you to make driving in a little easier. Or feel free to explore on your own.
CAMPING: If you are camping you DO NOT need to stop at the State Park Check-In. We will take care of that paperwork and fees down at the Field Day operations area. It is very simple. Camping is $15.00 per night. For the most part camping is primitive. Depending on the site that you select there is some water hookups available. There is also a couple of 15 amp. electrical plugs but NO AIR CONDITIONERS on those outlets. They will not carry the load. Generators are of course permitted.
Food, Water, Restrooms: There will be bottled water available – Ice tea and lemon aid will also be provided. Food is on your own except for Saturday night we will host a cookout. On Sunday morning there will be coffee and breakfast snacks. Any special needs foods are on your own.
There are public restrooms on the site.
COOK OUT: We will have a hot dogs and chips. We will have other suppliments based on availability; such as french fries made from new Hastings potatoes and corn on the cob. Covered dishes appreciated and encouraged.
