About this event
TENT CAMPING AT FALLS LAKE
Friday-Sunday, July 25-27
Trip # AD2506
Join us for a fun weekend of local camping at the Falls Lake, Holly Point Campground. Arrive on Friday afternoon and leave on Sunday. Tent campsites have a nearby bathhouse with convenient parking. We have our own private area, Loop 2. All Loop 2 sites are already reserved; but, sites are still available close to our Loop 2 area.
SATURDAY We will hike at 10 a.m. at the Ghoston Road entrance to the Mountain-to-Sea Trail, about 5 miles total, out and back. Please arrive at 9:30 a.m. for hiking which is a short drive across the street. After the hike we’ll hang out at the campsite and enjoy swimming. Saturday guests will arrive for swimming at 1 p.m.
SUNDAY We will hike at 10 a.m. at Shinleaf, meeting at the parking lot near the bathhouse. Shinleaf is just down the road from Holly Point. Come join the hike, and we will be connecting with our RSOC Sunday hiking group.
For those only coming for the day, the park’s day pass is $10 ($5 for seniors) to be paid at the entrance. Give the park attendant the last name “Davis” and campsite 67, to gain access to Holly Point Campground for the day. Please note that the date is open 24/7.
