Ross Prairie Trailhead and Campground · group site

Site PG01

“Primitive group camping is available for organized groups. An organized group is six or more people camping together, sponsored by, affiliated with and/or members of a recognized, registered, non-profit organization. They may or may not be members of an association, but are under the sponsorship of a recognized community organization, such as a church, benevolent or civic service club. One chaperone 21 years of age or older is required per 10 children. Capacity and amenities vary by park, but most accommodate at least 20 and provide picnic tables, fire ring, cleared or partially cleared sites for tent or hammock camping, and sometimes potable water. The sites generally have no electric power and may not have convenient bathroom facilities. These areas are not a part of the campgrounds or cabins. The fees for group camping are $1 per person, per night for juveniles and $5 per person, per night for adults. Priority is given to youth groups (i.e., an organized group in which at least half of the individuals are younger than 18-years-old) in the primitive group camps. Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance. Some primitive group camps have multiple designated sites within the same area. Groups should be aware that youth groups and adult groups may be camping in adjacent campsites. The park closes at sundown. If arrival is anticipated after sundown a leader or chaperone must call before 5:00 p.m. on the day of arrival to obtain the gate combination. All campers must be set up before quiet time at 11:00 p.m. Check-out time is 1:00 p.m.”
