At $10 per night on an honor system, Chisholm Trail Park requires no reservation. Campers arrive, find a spot, and pay at the dropbox near the entrance. Each site has a Ramada and picnic table, with enough tree cover for hammock camping and flat ground for tents. Verizon users report two bars of cell signal. Road and train noise carry into camp at times, and anglers will find fishing access directly on the water. Among campgrounds near Whitney Point Recreation Area, this one suits those who prioritize water access and low-cost, first-come camping over developed facilities.
