Camping in Lee State Park guide

Overview

About

If you think canoe trips are reserved for Girl Scouts and the Hardy Boys, think again. The Lynches River, which runs through Lee State Park, will turn you into a river rat in no time. Kayak or canoe through the hardwood forest floodplain, catch some catfish off the side of the boat, or pull up to the bank for a quick exploration through the woods along one of Lee’s designated nature trails. Feeling nostalgic for sixth grade camping trips? Just turn your canoe journey into a full-fledged splash war. But if you miss seeing all 119 bird species who live in the park because you were too busy soaking your companions with a paddle, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Oh, you forgot to pack a water bottle? Fugetaboutit! Lee’s got artesian wells that push water up to the surface of the earth, and they flow 24/7.

Notable campgrounds

  • Standard Campsites: Enjoy the classic camping experience with 25 well-equipped sites amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Equestrian Campsites: With 23 sites available, equestrian campers can revel in direct access to 12 miles of scenic trails.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as the campgrounds are a popular retreat for nature lovers and can fill up quickly.
  • Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience and increased availability.
  • Keep an eye on the park's website for any updates on campground renovations or closures to plan your trip accordingly.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Lee State Park is fully booked, ensuring you don't miss out on the surrounding beauty.

When to go

The best time to visit Lee State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers a lush, green landscape, but be prepared for higher temperatures. Winter months are less crowded, but certain facilities may be limited due to maintenance.

Know before you go

  • Check the park advisory for any current renovations, like the family campground bathroom remodel, and plan for alternative facilities.
  • Pets are welcome in most outdoor areas, but they must be kept on a leash not longer than six feet.
  • Remember that there is no wifi available, so prepare for a digital detox during your visit.
  • Day use areas, trails, and Loop Road are open from 9am to sunset, ensuring plenty of time for exploration.
  • For equestrian visitors, ensure you have the required Certificate of Veterinary Inspection when crossing state lines with horses.
