There is also an aircraft engineering and fabrication facility onsite but again not near the camping area.Learn more about this land:Tent, camper, and RVs are welcomed. You should have as much privacy as you hikers want, it depends on how far back you go. Our place is almost fully wooded so there is plenty of firewood laying around. The property is not mountainous, but has slopping hills. Near Auburn and Lake Martin Pull straight ahead pass the RV on the left, tents to the right and down the road, and campers find a spot. We seldom have two camp groups at the same time.

The best camping near Chewacla State Park guide

Overview

About

Equipped with areas for bike tricks and plenty of hiking trails to explore, Chewacla State Park is the ideal place to live out your Hook fantasies. Rufio would be proud of the surreal bike ramp, and we know Smee himself would enjoy the opportunity to canoe around the waters with his captain in tow. Fish Lake Chewacla for catfish or bass, or keep an eye out for the red fox and turkeys prowling the grounds. Whether you're looking to have an imaginary food fight with the Lost Boys or a real-life one with your best friends, fully equipped kitchens mean you can really cook up a storm. Stay near the grounds or visit some nearby towns for dining and shopping opportunities. The only thing that's missing here is Dustin Hoffman sporting a fake mustache, but one can always dream.

Notable campgrounds

  • Full Hookup Campsites: Equipped with modern amenities for a comfortable stay amid nature.
  • Primitive Camping Sites: For those seeking a more rustic experience, these sites offer a true outdoor adventure.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially if planning to visit during peak seasons or holidays, to ensure availability.
  • Check the park's reservation system regularly for cancellations to snag a last-minute spot.
  • Consider staying mid-week for better chances of securing a campsite as weekends tend to fill up quickly.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Chewacla State Park is fully booked, as the surrounding area offers additional camping opportunities.

When to go

The best time to visit Chewacla State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers warm swimming conditions but can be quite hot. Winters are generally mild, though some facilities may have reduced hours or be closed.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and park alerts for any closures or safety advisories before your visit.
  • Entrance fees apply, and park passes are available for frequent visitors.
  • The park is open from 8:30am to 5pm, so plan your activities within these hours.
  • Non-motorized boats like canoes and kayaks are welcome on the lake, but be prepared to hand-launch from the bank.
  • For a unique overnight experience, consider renting one of the historic CCC-built stone cottages.
