Camp at Stephen C. Foster State Park

We rented a boat, had a great adventure and saw lots of wildlife! I wish campers followed a lights out by 10 courtesy, but it was still a decent campsite. Few hiking trails including a short walk through Billy’s Island.

Camp at Stephen C. Foster State Park

12/13/16

Although Stephen C Foster state park is truly in the middle of nowhere, this has its benefits. The park hosts crazy amounts of wildlife, beautiful forests, and an unbeatable night sky. Camping here is your best bet to take advantage of all of these things. The tent and RV sites are very well kept and spacious. The cottages are also cozy and have all of your modern facilities, for a very reasonable price. For just $150 you can comfortably sleep 8 people.
