FAQ
Camping
Do you reserve campsites at Featherstone Park?
At this time we do not offer reservations for campsites and they are on a first come, first serve basis. Campsites shall be considered occupied when the proper registration form has been completed with fee included and deposited, and the campsite is occupied by placing a camping unit on it, i.e. tent, pickup camper, popup camper, motor home, covered bus or recreational trailer. Each campsite is limited to one trailer and one tent. Campground checkout time is 4 p.m. and the normal campsite stay is limited to 14 consecutive days. There are extended stay campsites that can exceed the 14 days and located in the middle of the park. The shower houses are open and closed weather dependent.
