Drive past the park on the dirt road. Don't turn into the campground loop...stay on the main road. In about 1/2 mile you'll get to Eagle Park Campgrounds on your left. It's never filled. It's not as nice as Montauk, but it works when Montauk is filled.

I would have to second what jah said, Eagles Park is not the best looking camp grounds but it will do the trick for tent camping. I have stayed there one time when Montauk was filled and had a great time, it can get a little rawdy, and they do have 2 electric sites

Ozark Mountain Ranch is another spot...just past Eagles Park...and I think there is one called Pine Crest on the way back to Salem...Heck, you could camp on the river for free...or head down Thursday and grab a non-reservable site in the park. Cheers.

There is Tradewinds that is just outside the park a ways. Tents are welcome. They have a website if you need directions. Also back by Tan vat access there is the Civil War battle field that me and my buddies stay at often. It's nice if you like to be away from all the people. They don't have any kind of restrooms or showers though. That eagles park is a bust like they are saying. Last time I went by there the whole thing was for sale and it was gated up and locked.

Eagles Park is where I always stay. Dave and Deb run the campground and are great people. They did go to Hawaii for a relatives wedding this summer, that might explain the gate closed and locked. Bathrooms work as long as its over freezing, bathrooms not heated so water is shut off in freezing temps. Shower works but is primative, we usually go to park shower houses if in need of a shower. Let Dave or Deb know if other campers get rowdy, they will take care of the problem right away. They want a quiet campground and have refused to let partiers stay there in the past.

Civil War Battle Field by Tan Vat access?? I am not familiar with that one. Are you talking about Cedargrove?

The civil war battlefield campground is between eagles park and turn off to baptist on same side of road as eagles park. very long lane leading back to campground. Hope that helps you get a bearing where it is at. I have never stayed there but they helped Dave and Deb get their campground going. Deb says they are great people. Would probably stay there if eagles was ever sold and the new owners weren't nice.
