"Visitors commonly praise spacious, well‑spaced and shaded campsites, clean bathhouse/showers, friendly staff and the park's cultural attractions (museum, Carillon, craft village). Fewer complaints focus on occasional overgrown sites, standing water/mosquitoes, debris from storms, or limited signage/after‑hours arrival instructions."

Planning Tips

    About Gopher Campground

    Gather your crew and slip away to Gopher Campground, where ancient oaks spread their sheltering canopy over four primitive sites designed for group adventures. Three sites accommodate up to 25 campers each, while one cozy spot is sized just right for eight, all equipped with picnic tables, grills, fire rings, water access, and portable restrooms—everything you need to unplug and unwind in nature's embrace.
    The campground supports a mix of camping options including tent and RV/trailer sites and separate park cabins; sites include hookups for water and electricity and accommodate larger rigs.
