Camping

NNBA has again reserved the group camp site, a space that will accommodate 100 people using tents, RV's and trailers.  There are plenty of tall pines, group picnic tables, a large BBQ grill, and log benches around a fire ring.  There are no hook-ups, but drinking water and restrooms are on site.  Showers are available in the main campground a short walk away.   Each camper is permitted one vehicle with their fee.  A second vehicle may be permitted if space is available for $5 per day.

Pets are welcome but the campground has some fairly strict rules:  Pets must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet, cannot be left unattended, and cannot be left tied up while you are away from the campsite.  Pets are $1 per day extra.
