Boats are required to camp at the Long Arm Boat-In Campground.
All campsites are boat-in, tent camping only, each site is 20-150 feet from the shoreline. There are no drive-to sites, and there is no RV camping.
Campers who utilize the Long Arm boat-in campground via motorized boats, canoes, or kayaks may park overnight at the Canal Bridge Boat Access. The Paddy's Creek day-use area is not available for overnight parking.

All food, drinks, soap, cosmetics, coolers, etc. should be stored inside the food lockers located at each boat-in campsite.
Trash may be also placed inside the food locker for safekeeping, or it should be tied over a tree limb, no less than 10 feet from the ground and away from the trunk (which bears can climb). You MUST remove all trash and take it with you when you break camp.
