Like tiny homes?

Then you’ll love this tiny campground. Existing under the idea of small living space, giant backyard, Sparrow Rapids Campground keeps it simple. Pack lots of water or drink from the river...just be sure to bring the equipment to sanitize. Stay active on the trails nearby. The 8.5 mile Lakes Hunter Trail will make one hell of a day trip skippin’ through the hardwoods and discovering little ponds and lakes along the way. Don’t sweat your days here away. Make sure to hop into the river to take a float on back or kayak!
