Howard County Conservation Board - Camping

Howard County Conservation Board  - Camping

  • Camping is an outdoor activity involving overnight stays away from home in a shelter such as a tent.
  • Typically participants leave developed areas to spend time outdoors in more natural ones in pursuit of activities providing them enjoyment.
  • The night (or more) is spent outdoors distinguishes camping from day-tripping, picnicking, and other similarly short-term recreational activities.


Camping fees at all of the HCCB Campgrounds are $25.00 / Night, which includes water and electrical hook-ups at each site. We do not take reservations for camping, all areas are first come - first served.
