Camping opportunities include 41 developed sites for RVs,  10 “black sky” sites, 3 primitive wilderness (tent only) campsites (hike or bike to), and 13 equestrian/horse sites. There are also 5 ‘safari’ glamping tents available to reserve through Timberline Glamping.

Kilpatrick Hammock Campground is surrounded by 54,000 acres of prairie and all of the developed campsites have water & electric hookups. Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (up to 65 feet). Each site also has a table, fire ring and grill.

The campground is open year round and amenities include drinking water, restrooms with flush toilets and showers, laundry facilities, trash collection and a dump station (with water fill).

The 3 wilderness primitive campsites is reached by biking or hiking 2.5 miles from the office. Each site also has a table and fire ring. The three sites are available to individuals or groups, with a maximum of four people per site.
