Camping
Babcock State Park’s 52-unit campground has 28 sites with electric hookups and 24 non-electric sites. The campground has a central bathhouse with coin-operated washers and dryers, two water fill-up stations, and two sewage dump facilities. Wifi is also available and cell phone service is available from most major cell phone companies. If you are looking to bring a group, Babcock offers a group tent camping area that can accommodate up to 20 tents and features a covered shelter with nine picnic tables, electric and a covered stone fireplace. The campground is open mid-April through late October, weather permitting. Half of the campsites at Babcock are available for reservations, while the remainder are rented on a first come, first served basis. Reservations begin the Friday before Memorial Day and end Labor Day, but make sure to plan in advance because spaces are sure to book up fast!
