GILMAN PARK CAMPING

Do you like to get away from noisy crowded campgrounds during your vacation travels and find a peaceful "off the beaten path" spot to relax for the night? Gilman Park has just what your looking for.

Located only five miles and ten miles respectively from cross-country Highways 81 and 20, Gilman Park offers everything the traveler needs to kick up your feet and relax in a small town setting. Only four electrical hookups are available, but since Pierce isn't on a major highway, the pads are very seldom full. Space for tent camping is nearly unlimited. In addition to the 30A electrical connections, water hookups are also available. Picnic tables and cooking grills are present. Showers at the park swimming pool can be used by campers from June 1st to September 1st. Restroom facilities are located within 100 yards of the camping area.  A big improvement was made in October 1999 when the camping pads were paved..

Recreational activities in Gilman Park that campers may want to take advantage of include fishing, hiking, sand volleyball, swimming, and horseshoe pitching.

Facilities in Pierce which would be of interest to the overnight camper include groceries, service stations, vehicle repair shops, eating establishments, convenience items, and medical and dental services.

Camping fees, which are collected by park staff, are $5.00 per night.
