State Park is Different from Nearby Nelson’s Ledges Quarry Park

To camp here you must camp at the nearby Nelson’s Ledges Quarry Park, not the State Park itself.

The State Park is very cool, various levels of short trails that are well marked to get through the natural ledges, caves, and water features.

The campground will not be for everyone. There is a large “Hippie Culture” to the campground, if you are not free spirited and open minded you may be uncomfortable camping here, especially on Festival Weekends. There are lots of lights, decorations, music, and people activity throughout the night. The restrooms are porta-potties or pits (neither stay clean for long). The people working there are relaxed, but care about the community and environment fiercely (do not litter, speed, etc here).

Some sections of the campground are nicer than others, but there are so many options for campsites you can probably find one you like. But there are no picnic tables provided and the ground is only dirt. Recycling is easily accessed though!

Many trees for hammocks and it is mostly all flat for placing your tent.

Additionally, the Quarry is beautiful and fun to fish, swim, “cliff jump”, and relax! There is a small “town” at the campground where food and souvenirs can be purchased.

Overall, if you are okay a diverse crowd that is hippie centered this is a campground for you to explore and enjoy!
