Oyster Point Campground
Oyster Point Campground is situated on the Intercoastal Waterway and is the trailhead for the 21-mile Neusiok Trail. The trail meanders through cypress swamps, loblolly pines and vast bogs of thick vegetation. Oyster Point's shallow water boat ramp provides a launching point for boaters and anglers (No vehicle access). Nestled under tall loblolly pines, the campground features 15 sites and two vault toilets. Each site has a picnic table, fire grill, parking spur, tent pad and lantern post.
This area is subject to closure in advance of hurricanes. Reservations will be automatically cancelled and refunded in the event of a closure due to hurricanes. Hurricane season is typically June to mid-November.
