Pilot Knob Campground is an outdoor gem where you can disconnect from the “nine to five” and reconnect with Mother Nature. This place is surely unique with the scenic Dead Man’s Lake, a rare floating sphagnum bog, and a carnivorous sundew plant (feed me Seymour!). After exploring the park’s intriguing peculiarities, come back to camp, get the fire going, crack open a cold one, and let that hammock swing!
