Fall Creek Falls State Park

Fall Creek Falls State Park is the second largest park in the system with over 20,000 acres. There are majestic cascades, deep chasms, and Fall Creek Falls, a 256-foot waterfall that plunges into a shaded pool.

Camping: Fall Creek offers 228 campsites in three campgrounds.  All sites have tables, grills, and water and electrical hook-ups.  Central bathhouses with showers serve the campgrounds; a dump station is provided for self contained camping rigs.   Campers must register at the campground check-in station.  The stay limit is two weeks and select sites can be reserved. Fall Creek has two group camps, both featuring rustic bunkhouses clustered around central dining halls, bathhouses, and recreation buildings.  Both camps provide private swimming beaches, playfields, fire rings, and private staff quarters.

Backcountry camping is allowed.   There are three backcountry campsites and a permit is required.  Pack animals are not allowed in the park.
