Drive straight ahead and stay on the gravel/dirt road. The camping area is located about half way down the field. Please camp among the trees. Do not camp in the field as it is our airfield.
Note that the bathhouse is located adjacent to the swimming pool.
If we have had a lot of rain, this dirt road can be impassible. Instead you can park in the main parking lot located by the pool, bath house and club house. The main parking lot is the next entrance into the park (keep driving North on Creek Road). Please do not walk across the LZ during flying hours.
Continue driving north and the next entrance on the right will bring you to the bunkhouse, cabins and RV park on the right.
