CAMPING

Camping

Camping at the Lorain/Stonycreek Hiking Trails is for hikers wanting to short-term camp in our trails and enjoy nature for an evening or two. We ask that you register with the form below and provide details of what campsite you will be at, how many in your party and the length of stay.

We do have wood piles at the camping areas and there is lots of downed lumber to use for fires in the surrounding area if supplies get low.

Respect the regulations where you’re camping. Be sure to check posted signage or chat with the camp host. If you have any questions, please contact us.
