Elizabeth Furnace Group Campground

Description:

The Elizabeth Furnace Group Campground is available to organized groups for outdoor camping by tent only on a reservation and fee basis. No trailers are allowed in the group camp area. Families and small groups (less than 10 people) are encouraged to utilize the family campground at Elizabeth Furnace or one of our other nearby recreation areas.

Currently the group camp has no running water. Plan on bringing all drinking water with you.

There are two individual campsites in the group area.

Site A: 50 people Site B: 25 people

You can reserve one site or both sites depending on the size of your group and the availability of the sites. Groups larger than 75 people will not be accepted.

Centralized facilities include parking, water. Water is available from a hand-pumped well located at the Elizabeth Furnace Family Campground. Toilets are the vault type. Each group site is equipped with tent pads (12' x 16'), fire grate, fire ring and picnic tables. There is no trash service. Visitors are responsible for bagging their trash and packing it out with them when they leave. Groups are urged to bring no more vehicles than needed
