Hal Scott Preserve County Park

Second trip all the way out here with a camping reservation and lock code...with no other way to access and absolutely no contacts available for help.  Pleeease consider investing in a new lock (heck, I'll buy it for you!).  So very disappointed....

Be prepared for a hike to the sites (except group site). Expect some areas of water covered trails, ankle deep, especially in the summer months. The second site, about 2 miles in, has a storm shelter nearby for those sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Sites are neatly cleared with mature oak trees that provide a canopy for shade. Picnic tables, prep table, & a well pump for water (not for drinking) are welcomed amenities. Trails are well marked. Peaceful location. Plenty of hiking trails and chances to see wildlife. Will be back!

It's a long walk to a primitive site, but totally worth it. There's no real way of knowing if the sites are already taken, so be prepared for that. There's a fire pit, table and plenty of space for tents. If I go again, I'll bring a folding cart to bring more supplies. Can't complain for a free campsite.

Hal Scott Preserve has three campsites. Two of the sites require a hike in and are first come first serve. One is about two miles from the parking lot and the other is about 1/2 mile further. The third is a group campsite that must be reserved in advance, and you can drive to the site. All of the sites are free. The park has lots of trails to hike, and the sites are in nice shaded oak hammocks. The group site has a porta potty. The sites all have fire rings and two sites have pitcher pumps for water you can filter.
