Oak Mountain State Park Camping

PRIMITIVE CAMPING
Oak Mountain State Park offers two forms of primitive camping. There are several designated backcountry sites for backpacking that are conspicuously located throughout the park, which offer a view of the varying topography and habitats that are found in the region.  These sites with our 50 plus miles of trails offer an assortment of loops that novice and experienced backcountry campers utilize for a quick get-a-away or preparing for a future hike. Leave-No-Trace ethics is expected of our campers and the usage of open fires is not permitted….camp stoves for cooking purposes are allowed. Additionally, we offer a group camp facility for Girl Scout, Boy Scout, and Church Groups activities only.

IMPROVED CAMPGROUND
Nestled in a large cul-de-sac which borders Beaver Lake and surrounded by rolling hills topped with the long lived and majestic Longleaf Pines, our campground is a favorite spot for families to get away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. The campground is open for camping year-round.
