Pierpont City Park

Pierpont City Park operates as a private club-owned facility that no longer accepts public camping stays. The municipal campground features electric hookups and allows campfires, but recent visitors report locked electrical connections with no contact information available for access.

The grounds include an aging outhouse facility and open grassy areas with established trees. Cell service reaches the location, and the park accommodates big rigs when accessible.

My first bust. Stunning campground.

UPDATE; This is now a private club owned campground. No public stays are permitted.

I was hoping to stay here a couple of nights, but the electrics are all locked up and no one around, no phone numbers to call, no way to get them unlocked. No price info. Outhouse is very, very run down. The rest of the campgrounds is stunningly beautiful. Maybe another day in the future we can stay.
