There’s a special kind of joy that comes from stumbling upon something unexpected during a camping trip—a hidden treasure, a splash of color, a tiny moment of delight. At our campground, we’ve created a place where those moments happen every day: our Painted Rock Garden.
What started as a small collection of hand-painted rocks has grown into one of our most loved traditions. Campers of all ages stop by to admire the artwork, leave their own creations, and search for our famous collectible painted rocks that have become a must-have souvenir for returning guests.
If you haven’t visited the garden yet—or taken home one of our signature rocks—you’re in for a treat.
Our Painted Rock Garden is a living, ever-changing display of imagination. Each rock tells a story—some are silly, some are inspiring, some are beautifully detailed, and some are painted by tiny hands learning to create.
Campers love:
It’s a simple idea that has grown into a joyful tradition, bringing people together and sparking creativity across generations.
If you’re joining us on a holiday weekend, get ready for even more fun. We host our Painted Rock Scavenger Hunt, where special rocks are hidden throughout the campground—each one leading to a prize.
Kids, adults, and families team up to explore the campground in search of:
Find one, bring it to the office, and claim your reward. It’s a highlight of every holiday weekend and a tradition many campers plan their trips around.
We love when campers add their own creations to the garden. Bring a rock from home or find one during your stay, decorate it with your own style, and place it in the garden for others to enjoy. It’s a wonderful way to leave your mark and become part of our campground’s story.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time camper, our Painted Rock Garden is waiting for you. Stop by, take a look, add a rock, or hunt for one of our famous designs. And if you’re here on a holiday weekend, get ready for a scavenger hunt that brings out the kid in everyone.
Your next camping memory might just be painted on a rock.
