CRAVEN PARK
Craven Park Campground is a great place to stay. The park has many fully functioning sites with electric and water. For the more rustic campers, primitive sites are available. There is a beautiful view of Craven Pond with plenty of fishing opportunities. The quiet park has a nearby walking loop, the Cedar River Natural Area Trails System, that winds through the woods.
Craven Park is conveniently located just a mile east of downtown Bellaire, which has great dining and shopping opportunities. Richardi Park, with a swimming beach, basketball, and tennis courts, is just a short walk away from downtown. Not far away is Glacial Hill Pathway and Natural Area, with a large trail network suitable for both hiking and mountain biking. Also within easy driving distance is the Grass River Natural Area.
Reservations: The campground is now operating by reservation only. • If you have made your reservation online, you may set up camp at the site you have reserved. If you would like to extend your stay you will need to submit another reservation. • If you are a same-day camper, please scan the QR code located at the bathhouse or visit this website to make a reservation online to block off your site PRIOR to setting up your campsite. This will limit the possibility of double booking a site while we are in the process of transitioning to reservations only. You are always welcome to make reservations at our office at 202 N Bridge Street, Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm. Cash or check will not be accepted unless a reservation is made at our office. **We are currently seeking an individual to help monitor campground reservation compliance. More information can be found under our "Help Wanted" tab on the home screen. Department of Public Works employees or Police Department officers will be making daily rounds. Craven Park Campground is open from April 1st (weather permitting) through October 31st.
