Lodging Options

Campers can stay in a cabin onsite, camp in their own tent or RV, or arrange their own lodging nearby. Fees are the same for all lodging options.

Cabin Requests

We always attempt to meet requests for a type of cabin (family, couples, women, men, co-ed, easy access). If you want to stay in a specific cabin, or with particular people, please note this in the “Comments” section of your registration form. While placement in specific cabins cannot be guaranteed, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Vehicle and Tent Camping

RVs must remain in the parking areas. Tents can be set up near the cabins and at the lake shore, where vault toilets are nearby. There are no RV utility hookups at Camp Rising Sun. Please note: The State Park strictly allows only three RVs and five tents. These are first-come, first-served.

Special Dietary Considerations

Our goal is to serve our campers healthy and delicious food at every meal and we do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions. Limited refrigerator and freezer space is available upon request.
