Our primitive group campground is open year-around for organizations and nonprofit groups that want a more rugged camping experience. Reservations are required for use of this campground.

Designed by Architect Antonin Raymond, the shelter was constructed to compliment the community park in the 1940s. Now as a popular attraction in Mayo River State Park, it continues to serve its original intention as a gathering place for the community. The shelter is designed with open sides and a large fireplace on the interior front (firewood is not provided, gathering wood on the park is not permitted). There are several picnic tables inside the shelter and plenty of room for setting up events. Two large grills are available to the side of the shelter.

There are trails, picnicing, and an open field for use at the Mayo Mountain Access.

The primitive group camp offers an open field for tents, a pit privy, fire ring, picnic tables and running water. The camp accomodates up to 40 people.
