About Camp Columbia State Park/State Forest

Land once used as a military academy training ground now falls under public administration and protection as combined forest and park acreage. The site carries the Camp Columbia name from that earlier institutional use, a designation that continues to mark the property today. Management here covers both forested land and park grounds together, a dual classification that shapes how the property is administered.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
