Austin Park Campgrounds

Picture
Austin Park camp pads July 2011
2 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.  

Austin Park currently has gravel pads and a porta potty for primitive camping.  There is no electric or water available at this time.

In 2008 this area was hit by large ice chunks.  These natural events plus several floods later has left it in a more primitive state. At this time the Conservation has no funding to rebuild it. 

There is a boat ramp and parking available. There is a shelter area with a picnic table.

​  
CAMPING RATES:
​   Primitive: $7
​                                                                                                  
​                                                                                                 
Camping tickets can be found at the entrance to the campgrounds

This Conservation campground is scheduled for a new boat ramp and parking lot in the near future in co-operation with DNR/Grants
