Group Camping

Groups at campground campsites are limited in size to 9 people, so special group camping areas are available at some campgrounds to accommodate larger groups. Size limits at group campsites varies with location. Remember that when camping with a larger group, you should make a special effort to practice Leave No Trace because a larger group can leave much larger traces!
