Oak Point Campground

Crawford State Park

**Zan's Creekside Campground** is a family owned and operated park.  We offer RV camping, tent sites, and day time access to the river for non-campers.  

**30 and 50 amp RV Sites are OPEN YEAR ROUND!!!!**

     All RV sites are naturally shaded by the plentiful supply of tall trees on the campground.  Also, all sites are less than a one minute walk to the beach.  Popular activities include river tube floating from Grand Falls to our location.  Grand Falls is about five minutes away by car, the return float trip takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours (we DO rent tubes). Our location is very popular for launching or retrieving kayaks and we provide parking for vehicles left at one end of the trip (we do NOT rent kayaks). Fishing is always an enjoyable pastime here as well. 

     There is a very nice Mexican food restaurant located on site. 

     **We offer weekly and monthly rates for both 30 amp and 50 amp RV Sites.** 

Well behaved pets are welcome. Alligators must be kept on a short leash!!
