If you’re traveling distances without a motor vehicle or similar means of transportation, and you’re in need of overnight camping, space is available at state parks and state forest campgrounds even when the location is at full capacity. In these specific, need-based cases, sites are made available to individuals who are self-supporting, leave-no-trace tent campers carrying their camping gear on their bike, in a backpack or within a canoe or kayak. A safe area within the park, with varying levels of amenities, will be assigned. The following requirements apply:
Camping permits for locations other than designated campsites will be written for one night only.
If assigned space other than a designated campsite, campers must leave by 10 a.m. the following morning or register for a designated campsite.
Camping fees are determined by amenities available to campers, with up to six people per camp allowed.
Campfires are prohibited unless an approved fire pit is available in the designated camp area.
