Open to the Public

Admission FREE
(some activities 
charge a fee)
Thursday - Saturday
9 am-2 pm
Dogs permitted if 
on hand-held leash 
and poop-scooped. 

In a nutshell, 
Camp Bayou was 
an RV park in 
another life but 
is now a
nature preserve 
open to the 
general public
with trails, 
nature center,
fossil museum, 
native village,
picnic tables 
and more in its
160 acres but
camping is NOT
an option. 
There are no
playgrounds, 
ball fields
and other 
less 'natural' 
activites.
