New Prospect

Hand pump water access and a pavilion with playground make New Prospect a day-use focused site that doubles as a veterans memorial. The facility sits at Dunbar's edge with raised grills scattered throughout tent-friendly open areas. State park management provides drinking water, restrooms, and allows both campfires and pets, though overnight registration procedures remain unclear to visitors.

Campers exploring places to camp near Dunbar will find Twelve Foot Falls County Park offers a more established camping option. The maintained grounds work well for picnicking before securing confirmed overnight accommodations elsewhere.

Couldn’t tell if camping was allowed

This one appears to now be a veteran memorial. There is a pavilion and playground. A hand pump for water is right by the parking area. We saw plenty of space for tents with some raised grills. However we couldn’t find any info on if camping is allowed/not allowed  or how to register. This is right at the edge of Dunbar so we felt uncomfortable setting up for the night. It is beautifully maintained and made for a nice picnic before looking for another spot to camp.
