Seven campsites are available with projects underway to add more in the future. Water and electrical hookups are available at each site and shower and restroom facilities are conveniently located In the Herb C. Smith Community Building for guest use. While in the park, enjoy the other park facilities including, playgrounds, walking trails, basketball court, ball diamond, playground equipment, picnic shelters, fishing in the ponds, and of course, the abundant natural wildlife. We hope you will enjoy your camping experience at The Kittie Wilson Campground at Calhoun County Park.

· Observe all fire restrictions. If you must build a fire, use existing fire rings or self-contained grills. · Cutting and burning of standing park trees (dead or alive) is prohibited. For campfires, use only firewood purchased from the park, or fallen timber.
