The park is a great place for a hike! See the Trails page for more information.

While camping in the park, take advantage of the recreation opportunities offered by this unique bay lake. Relax along the lakeshore among beautiful cypress trees - some of which sprouted more than 400 years ago.

Swimming

A pier more than 500 feet long extends into the lake providing a perfect place for swimming and sunning. Swimming is permitted only for group campers and only in the designated area. Lifeguards are not provided; group leaders must provide swimming supervision.

Boating

Canoes are located onsite for group campers only.  Campers and visitors can bring their own watercraft (limit 10 horsepower) or canoes/kayaks.  All personal watercraft must be washed onsite at the park office before launching into the lake.

Fishing

Though fish populations are low due to the acidity of the water, the lake has a population of yellow perch ready to provide a challenge for anglers. The public may fish in the lake when the group camps are not in use by obtaining permission from park staff. Fishing is permitted only during park hours. Please conform to the regulations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

Camping

The camp allows no tent or RV camping. So, if you want to camp, you will need to reserve a bed in one of our beautiful cabins. We have reserved both Group sites.
 
Camp Ipecac, built by the Resettlement Administration, houses 92 persons and is open April through October. The camp was named for Carolina ipecac, a herb common in the region's sandy soil. Extract taken from the herb's dried roots is used for medicinal purposes.

Camp Loblolly Bay houses 48 persons and is open year round. The camp was named for the loblolly, a medium-sized evergreen that produces white blooms in summer.

Both camps are accessible for persons with disabilities and include a mess hall, campers' cabins and restrooms. All amenities are provided for campers except for food, cleaning supplies and bed linens. A basketball goal, volleyball net, horseshoe pit, group-size charcoal grill and picnic tables are located near the cabins. A campfire circle in each camp offers the perfect setting for an evening of fellowship and marshmallow roasting.

The NCGO Fall Fling Store will be open to reserve soon! Visit the www.ncgeocachers.org home page for a link to the store and reserve a space in one of our cabins.

 

If you want traditional tent camping, beautiful Jones Lake State Park is about 6 miles away. If you want to RV camp, there are options in nearby White Lake. You are on your own there for reservations!

​  This event will be a great chance for North Carolina geocachers and our neighbors to spend a little time in a less hectic setting just getting to know each other while enjoying Fall Fling's 4F's: Food, Finds, Friends, and Fellowship which result in the all important 5th F -FUN!

Nothing could be finer than to cache in Carolina....AGAIN!
