American Heritage Campground is nestled in 25 acres of pristine evergeen forest.
Our campground is said by many to be "one of the nicest parks they've ever camped in". Campsites are spacious and secluded. Some are in an open grassy area. Hookups include electric, water, & sewer. Our tent camping sites are available with or without hookups. All campsites come with a picnic table and campfire area.

Parents who camped here as children are now bringing their kids to continue the camping tradition. Grandparents love to bring their grandkids camping here.
